    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Interesting, Ive been reading up on ageing meat. Most butchers and professionals believe reducing the animals core temperature post-shot to 10 degrees or less in the first 6 hours is not good for the bacteria involved in the breakdown process.

    So dumping a deer carcus on snow or on ice in a chilly bin is detrimetal to allowing the ageing process to begin.

    Thats cool. I Googled them:

    New Zealand records

    A single bird photographed near Halfmoon Bay on Stewart Island in late September 2014 is the sole accepted New Zealand record. There was an unconfirmed sighting of two dusky woodswallows hawking insects over Ho Ho Bay, Snares Islands, in October 1983. The timing of these sightings coincides with the southward migration of adult dusky woodswallows across Bass Strait to Tasmania.
