Thanks for sharing.
Was it a private hut or doc hut you went into. Pity about the blue bugger.

Yeah was a doc hut, but it was one of the ones they were going to pull out in 2012, but a local Tramping club put their hand up to take over the ongoing maintenance of it. I must say it was a nice tidy very well maintained hut, but then again its so far away that it wouldnt get the shitheads in there damaging it either.

Yes it most certainly does, i dont mind a bit of bush stalking, actually quite enjoy it, my first few years of hunting were basically solely bush stalking before getting into a bit of wait and watch longer range stuff more recently.

Cool
Good to see it's getting used. I'm hoping to get into the ruahines over Christmas if the wife allows a night away
Won't be going that far in though.
Is the blue heli breaking the law doing that? What are they allowed to do, can you report it?
