    90% of all doc areas i hunt never seen anyone else ever, talking years. If someone is there, i go plan B. Pity those North Islanders fighting over good DOC land.
    Moral of the story...go off the beaten track, try a new spot no one wants to look at in favour of a good area 10km away. You be surprised what you might run into.....

    I will be off on Tuesday next week for 3 or 4 days. To many pre booked meetings this week, bugger it.

    Haven't been over the bridge for the last 6 weeks, don't see that changing in the next 3 weeks either everything we need is here. My daily drive to work is max 7km and with no tourists I might see 1 vehicle.

    Nah, got chemo on Wednesday and hooked up to porta-pump until Friday. Probably shouldn't go bush anyway due to infected wound, only 4 days since I was in hospital.
    I need to get the dog out for a run and swim before she explodes!

    Your lucky traffic wise, was quiet around here under level 4 but now it's close to normal less tourists. A few line haul trucks have forgot about cars on the road, twice on roundabouts have had to stop due to them not giving way.

    Nope. Might let the weekend warriors get their fix first. Not a fan of bumping into other hunters in the hills.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
