Always via Makino Hut and the 3 wire bridge ..... then up up up.
Funny how we always end up carrying our kids in life :D

There were some half reasonable Sika heads in there back in the day

And on a trip down memory lane, still some silly deer about.
Still a very smoky fireplace though

Those Nosler Ballistic Tips are the best kept secret in hunting circles and are proving to be the perfect cup & core projectile in any caliber.

Those bullers last a hell of a long time ...... and pop up in the stangest of places miles from any roadend

This is not my :fighting: to enter into, but I do note, Craig has said, "the recovery and walk back in the rain was not enjoyable"
So I take from that that he did not "shoot and scoot" :)

I've owned 7 Kimber Montana's and never had an issue with RUST..... Ever !
I currently have 3, and one of those has sat in my gunsafe since the day I bought it new about 3 years ago. I have no...

I'll shoulder some of the blame, but not all of it, for numbers building up in there :playingsmiley:
This is the slip your "walking-bang stick" is pointing at in your photo Philipo :D

Lady Hunter did from memory

And no... I didn't flog this sign :yaeh am not durnk: When they put the new flash bang sign at the bottom of the spur,
they just tossed this one into the scrub. Lady...

That's a grueling climb any stage in a good keen mans life. And like most grueling climbs, the rewards keep coming once your up there :thumbsup:

That rifle is a good solid work horse in that caliber, even with a 17" barrel, and will still efficiently tip over any deer within sensible shooting range.
And is good buying at that price all...

In the age of the internet, most seem to overthink things these days.
The deer are no more difficult to put down

A cheap as chips 129g Hornady interlock, trickling along at 2630fps muzzle...

Have struck it before..... just a young hind, who hasn't quite got rid of her own spotty coat completely. And the fawn will be her first.

I've got a 84M Montana with a 14&1/4" 308 barrel & DPT suppressor that shoots 130g ttsx Barnes's ahead of 2206H into 1/2" 3 shot groups all day.
Going slower than MSL's one, but nothing gets up to...

I don't care who they are.... or aren't, but wow.... you just have to love their prices :)

Very refreshing amongst the other major outdoors & hunting clothing manufacturers

Thanks for the correction BRADS..... good to know my memory is still operating at its usual level :oh noes:

The last time I was in Broome Hut before it was pulled out, was on a weekend...

Yes.... the lake was formed by a slip, possibly during cyclone Bola in 1988 if i recall correctly. Had a cobber who stashed a cheap inflatable dinghy by it to save swimming. took years before the...

Awesome hebe, my old stomping ground.... as KK will most probably know. So I know your due some true respect and admiration, because there's no easy yards in that trip.
And as for the old school red...

Bwaaahaha..... thanks for a jolly good laugh Jhon, but hey..... it sorta works :thumbsup:
hot barrels bud

Its a bit harsh to assume that because the road is closed, that access is denied. You can still walk up there, via the road if there's car parking handy to the gate, or from the eastern side at...

Way to go :) and full respect for the hard yards and the memories gained :thumbsup:

Just to keep the thread alive, here's a pic taken in 1985 on our way out from Back Ridge Bivy after we'd shot more deer than fingers on one hand.
On reaching the kaweka J on our way home, bets were...

The new owner used it as a lease machine, and it was totalled recently during takeoff. Luckily the machine was the only casualty.

As the above two say..... over the top via the "J" for sure....... and talking about your flying in.... Did you use the Yellow R44 ? How about you Sika 8 ? If so, pour yourselves a whiskey and have a...

Awesome...... and well done. A beer when back home would have been hard earned.
We thrashed that area and Kiwi Saddle almost every weekend back in the early 80's
We also had a club called "The Back...

Yep.... the Military Surplus stores were our best friend.
