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.
