I am confused by this. For some strange reason I would rather go and 'hunt' in the Ruahines than cull on the farm beside my house.

Me & the Old man
Welcome to the forum
Welcome Roy. Good to see your dad still out there doing it.
These are from a hunt a couple weeks back, went bush bashing with a mate got close but no cigar. Anyway this is a huge rock shelter I found gonna use it next time save space with a tarp for a fly just need the ground sheet. Someones built a fire place and made a table (see by my legs) so next time I got up I may take a pan or something to stay there and some fire lighters for the next person.

Good for him Roy.
If you look at the second picture, middle distance hill, far right hand side, you can see a house just down from the top (thin white line in the pic). I'm going there :thumbsup:
Supposed to be light winds Sunday/Monday so expect a phone call on Saturday arvo to book a paddock.
Taking my old faithful. Last time a took a "new to me" rifle on a weekend trip without blooding it first it all turned to custard (and selling of said rifle). Will bring the new tool up for us to try though. Think you will like it, makes the savage feel agricultural.
You have good eyes to have picked that out of a photo. I will be shooting with some others Sunday midday
Name that spot ? :thumbsup:
Hes taking a piss spot:D

Not my hunting pic but my Dad's and not really a hunting pic. A Kudu had the misfortune of being caught up in a "contact". An overzealous gunner opened up on a noise at stand to and this is the result.
Needless to say that there was some meat in the pot for the platoon.
1974 | SE Rhodesia / Mozambique border area.
My cuzzie probably helped the platoon to eat that one,he was there and it looks like the troops need a feed.
I don't know so much, the guy on the left looks pretty well fed to me! (my dad took the photo).
These troops are Rhodesia Regiment - (territorial force). By this stage, the insurgency had grown to such proportions that the government were calling up reserves left, right and centre to combat the terrs. It was 6 weeks on duty, 6 weeks as a civvy, rotational.
I digress, it's not what this thread is about.
bloody cool any way:)
My sons first animal.
Fuck that is amazing. Out in the open like that just begging to become a roast dinner.
Only problem is most of them are so full of disease they don't eat them.

Fantastic looking pics southstalk; welcome to the forum.
have to laugh at the kea photo - "whats down here!!!"
Nice pics south stalk... That first pic. Amazes me... Yo the hell you snuck in that close with that sort of ground cover . Looks noisy!
Thanks guys. I always enjoy snapping the odd pic if I can. The first pic is after the second one of her, I heard her coming so got into position to take the pics, got around 30 or so in total along with a quick video of her, it took a while for her to settle down after looking at me, then she lay down and had a little clean. Attachment 17904 That's another pic of the curious spiker, all my fallow pics are from the Blue Mountains RHA
