    Toby, I didn't get to be a fat old bugger by eating spaghetti. I will be dining on roast meat and vege and so will those that let me cook for them.

    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

In my view that is quite advanced for three days.

    Pending a reply to my email there is then a pre hunt recce to be done and the logistics of food, transport etc to be arranged but as I see it we have plenty of time to get that done. Block out your diary and plan on joining us.
    Yeah I know its getting there but....6 pages....

    Some good hunting in that general area..never been on the southern side of the river but I took my boy hunting off the Urchin track (ended up tenting up near the top) a year or two ago and came across some good sign.... Got one not far from the lower camp too on an earlier trip. There are options a short drive away up the other roads if numbers get up as well and return to base camp for the night to talk shit

    Thinning out and spreading to other road ends is a good idea if the numbers get up. Shooting the breeze and talking crap around a camp fire at the end of the day makes the hard yakka all the more worthwhile. Good tucker, good company, tales of lucky deer and unlucky hunters (and vice versa) makes for a great time. If this comes together (and it appears that it will), we will refresh the plans toward the end so everyone doesn't have to trawl through the pages to find the detail.

    Join us.. It would be a pleasure to meet you.

    I will keep an eye on things but not sure whats on next week never mind a few months away... Have got some things on early Feb but dates TBC and I have no say in them.... when I know I will flick my name down...

    I have to try and take my mind of hunting for a bit as I have only had 2 weekends not hunting in the last 10 weeks... I am getting way way behind on so many things its not funny. I have to say No for a bit so I can finish work at my shop and projects for others at home

    hey team, glad to see there is a bit of intrest in the waipakahi rd forum hunt. speaking of the 42 traverse i was down there yesterday for a bit of a look around and not much doing where i was. it was bommed with 1080 not so long ago. its not a bad place but you have to know where to go. where there is a quad track in u can just about bet your bottom dollar it will be thrashed. i will be a starter for the hunt, always good to meet new likeminded people. waipakahi road end i think is a good area plenty of scope, and across the road is national park which is also contains a few deer. there is some private land but there is heaps of doc land but u WILL get wet feet crossing the river. there is a very good campsite there but if on a long weekend we will have to get in fast. it is a hunters campsite not a flash doc one. anyway count me in.

    You will be there Toby. You have to carry the deer for Dougie.

    No trouble with that, I would be happy to. Looks like this is really gathering momentum which is excellent.
