Great 10 days in the hills with the dog. No stag on the ground this year but plenty of animals seen and left to carry on. It was pretty damp down in the bush and the camera fogged up internally so I...

Hey mate, yeah just a bit of a cover I made from scrap material to stop the cams getting clogged with crap and a bit of protection for the cables.

The cham was the first animal with the bow, drawn...

Some pictures from a recent hunt. Been seeing a lot of deer around though 95% are hinds with fawns, great to see anyway. 12 days off from 29th march, dog and I are going bush looking for a big old...

Rifle is a Blaser K95 6.5x55 20" barrel stutzen model. Perfect for West Coast jungle.
I have a bigger pack but old trusty has a sleeve added on to carry the rifle...Saves a huge amount of effort...

Dog and I went hunting from Thursday night till Monday. Crossed the river with a big flood under us in the dark, helped out a half starved stranded tramper, met another keen hunter, climbed some big...

Thanks Dreamer. I like it too, sort of ominous...
Might be time for a new camera on a side note. Some pics are good quality while some are shocking like the photo of me is terrible quality. No...

Here's a few more pictures from recently. It's been good weather here for the last few weeks but has turned average this last week. Haven't tracked down a big stag yet but looking good forward to the...

Regularly. It was luxury that time as I had two mates winding me over, usually I have to use the "wrench" and haul myself and the dog across.

Few more pics from this year, lung surgery has held me back the last few months with recovery but I am back out in the hills getting about Ok now winding up for a good summer season. Will have to...

See if this works. No audio because I was blabbering away about where I was etc. The first stag is the older of the three, an eight pointer with only...

Great to see eh. I have some video I will try upload in while of two different stags and a hind also. The stags were appearing from the bushline about an hour before dark and back into the bush quick...

Will give it a go, cheers. The stuff I had separated in the heat, had it in the lid pocket of the pack...

Same here. Sunscreen no good against litres of sweat. Back to work for me too six days a week for a while. Have to start walking in at night time after work.

Yeah, incredible. Looks like it will hold for the week. Whataroa would have been impressive in that weather.

Bugger! Ya just got to go with the cards life deals eh. I have trouble with a lung going pop so I know what you mean about risk vs reward.

Stumpy, you reminded me about a story in Gordon Atkinson's book I was reading. Gordon and two others cut a track up a very very steep bush ridge to the tops in the Whitcombe and the chap with one leg...

A 22 from te anau shot the area for an order for James ( not james shooting like I was told) and another hunter in there said a blue and black 44 had done a wee bit too but I don't know the details...
