    Tony Savage - KiwiGPS is the person you want to talk to. Based in Chch.

    I have a Garmin 62s, good setup.
    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Buy that - unless you can get a 60CSx

    As a note last year me and a friend took an unexpected river trip. The 62s went into Man Overboard mode and stopped tracking. The 60CSx tracked the entire route down the river.

    Garmin 62S is the perfect hunting buddy. Also dont pay for the maps I know where you can get them open source for free.

    I love my 62S and wont leave home with out it
