    Easier to learn to get closer than to shoot at extended ranges, kudos to those who can but I find 350 is a heck of a long way away . . . For some reason 280 ish is quite doable from field positions...

    with the .270 its 300-350 absolute maximum on deer...wallabies have no range limit,either they die or are missed.

    Talked to Don Gregory who ran a chiller in Mangaweka and Frank Tickner who ran a chiller in Napier about the state of deer which used to get delivered. Some of the stories were an absolute crack up.

    Choose where you going to drive over and walk it first.If there been no rain or snow melt for 3 days,you should be fine.Its only 22 ks long,it drains out and fills up pretty quick.

    So long as the river levels are low, you should have no problems. But if its been NW or coming on to NW then be very wary, it has claimed plenty of vehicles. Low and clear, easy drive.
