    Good shit Neckshot
    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

    Is there a track from the car park into the Rokai now?
    When I was a young chap I was befriended by the people who had the farm prior to the Timmins. Can’t think of their sir name, but it was 1967. Their son Murray was with NZFS culling. Anyway, I used to follow a bulldozed track over their hill to where the Rokai comes out. Used to get the odd one.

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

    Top job Neckers and like namesake smashed him in the Neck.

    Ya starting to look like a bushman too. Those pines on the "Cats Paw" were planted for erosion control also,they were fenced last time I was up there but that was awhile ago and the old fulla I used to work for told me the slips were grassed and fertilized years ago.

    Top write up and pics. Great results

    Yes there is a cut track taking you from the Tamaki carpark over the lower saddle into the bottem of the Rokai,there is a small amount of sign on track.The farm is now owned by Colin Bond so he could have bought that of them.

    As good as the forest service was the "erosion control" was a gigantic fuck up in league with the release of rabbits in the south island.

    Pine trees are a scourge on the landscape and IMHO forestry company's and private forest owners should have to pay to remove or spray pines on public land where previously there were none.

    That will make me un popular but Its my opinion

    pinus radiata is far less invasive than pinus contorta that invades the central North Island.

    I think there's nothing more ugly than sitting in your boat on Taupo and looking at bloody pine trees, your right they should be cut down! Not to mention the shitty yellow pollen that makes the lake murky in spring, and the mess the needles make along with the poisoning of the soil, they're bloody disgusting things
