Thread: Ruahine Overnighter

It says 7mm in the opening splurb.

Lovely writeup of a neat bit of the Ruahines. Hunted the Sawtooth often in the 80's. Yes, it was often barrel stretching shots. I'm sure my old photos show the tussock a fair bit taller back then....

The Takahe have trimmed it a fair bit since then

Thats inspiring. Great pics. I will never forget the yellows and greens of the tops in the sunlight.

Us old farts are mostly past that stuff now. But it has inspired Brian and me to bivvy up in the tawhine tomorrow night rather than use a hut.

Exactly what the Ruahines needs, some one not afraid to knock some deer over; we’ll all benefit in the end, so will the environment.
The big bangers were just the ticket.
If I thought I could walk up there in around three hours I’d go back…
I was also planning on taking the 300 RUM up there, I think it’d like it up there and make some new friends. 😀

The whole of the Ruahines Craig.
I saw 6 reds this morning walking to Longview all from the track without binos !

Late Thursday arvo saw us punching up the hill to Tarn Biv a bloody good climb for a couple of old fat fuckers in 2 hours 45.

What??? From all your posts over the years I thought you were a young buck in your 20's!!!..

Lovely pictures, sexy rifle too!

Longview looks like it'd be a busy spot, but this useless hunter will be giving it a nudge based on BRADS' comment.
