Thread: Molesworth in march

Squeak???? Bro!

Keep in mind boys that the march shoot is nothing like the october one as in october you have all the birds in the high country for nesting.

e.g. in october 2010 a block shot 200.
In march I shot it and we shot 29
the guys in June got similar numbers.
and in october 2012 it shot 100+

You can still get some good numbers on blocks in march but the shooting is totally different. Also not all blocks shoot 100+, as with all hunting you only hear the good stories.

But it's a great area so I would still encourage you to come along. Don't forget your goose call.

Its done via lucky dip now - the days of being in the 'clique' are gone, which is good as it gives everyone a chance at the better blocks.
We've gone in a week before hand and shoot the shit out of the primo blocks that the clique always used to get when we were balloted off - Fuckem, never saw them miss out or get a tent block in winter in over 20 yrs

The spots that have been shit in the past are not regularly shot now, and a few places which have been great shooters aren't shot either which is a shame, but in knowing that, you can head in with a few mates and clean up

Air New Zealand changed their rules for transporting animals at the start of October. You now need a better cage than before, small ones are about $120 plus.
The NZ dog trial team found this out on the way back from Aussie. They went over in September with old cages sweet as, Went to come back "Sorry boys those cages aren't up to scratch you'll need to buy these ones to get your dogs back". Some very pissed off fellas apparently.

And from memory it is either $50 or $100 for the extra item
