Ha,ha the only ones that lost out on occasions were like I mentioned,,the big companies.
The ariel shooters themselves were pretty close mates,,not all of them but a few we were living with along with a coupla pilots.
We had a thing goin on and no one was jumping up and down about it either.
There was bugger all poaching on each others blocks..that was a no. The poaching I mentioned was around areas where joe cocky boundried
the bush etc, not where we were in South Westland..other areas in the South Island.
Sounds like you were a tad more civil Barry the hunter than us lot were back then...lol good fi you.
