Thread: Man rescued from Kaimanawa Ranges after suffering gunshot wound

Very lucky(unlucky) guy who got shot ..... thank goodness for the Greenleas rescue chopper based in Taupo ..... by all accounts it was touch and go to get to him before he bled to death.
One coming from Hamilton would have been 30 min too late .... but in a "gold standard helicopter".
Just hope these bureacrats in Wellington or where ever they are that are pushing this agenda of getting rid of rescue choppers for "efficiency" shut the fuck up and listen to real world needs.
The one in Taupo and the one in TeAnau are critical to those of us who enjoy the back country.
