    Last event for the hunts course

    Just a few photo's ,was a nice spot to spend the long weekend with the others that did the course & the instructors & guys n girls from TVDA . Nice hunt being planned already.Thanks to all involved ,quite a learning curve but glade now having done the course. Think also the NZDA need to be congratulated for these courses & the content of . At the end of the course have met some neat people & shared their company over a couple of pretty full on months .

    Good shit Chris. I must get my arse in there one day. Young Phillip tells me it is an easy hoof even for an old codger.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Well no its a hard slog from Heli Sika ,the sign at the hut says 4.5 hrs.With a full pack its hard work even for a young bugger ,especially in the heat of the day.I was allowed to drive most of the way due to my stuffed knee but I turned down the chopper ride out & packed it back to the wagon.

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Not like young Phillip to.put me crook Chris. He knows he would have to carry my pack if I blew a ring.

    The heat can be a problem as its all open, but it's dead flat which makes it easy knowing you rushy you'd have walked most of it before morning tea so the midday sun shouldn't trouble you
    Yeah nah bro

    Well Rushy maybe young Philip has a sense of humor too, perhaps he wanting to see you blow your fofo valve for a laugh .

    Oneshot , most of the guys didn't see much sign but deer where seen although a bit to quick for flat foots .I personally found a "lot" of sign ,just couldn't track them down.Was very dry under foot ,hadn't been much rain for a long time in there.

    We wouldn't do a thing like that any way Philip.Although from the opposite side you get a better view of a couple of nice faces up stream ,not that I'd do a thing like that either .

    I must give it a crack then. If Chris is right about 4.5 hours then starting at five thirty I could be there by ten.
