Thanks guys. Good to know I’m mostly on the right track. Not that I hunt enough these days to give the dog issues but I was just going to carry on as normal and try not to burn him out physically.

Hi all,

My dog has just turned 6. I recently spent some time with family where they have a dog that at 9 has crook cruciate ligaments and can't really do a whole lot.

When have people on here...

I personally love winter bush hunting or bush hunting in rain. Bush is always quiet and damp, usually less people, and the deer struggle in the wet and wind. I’ve found it especially good for chasing...

I left it on the hill actually, but i’d say no older than 4-5. Had a young face and good teeth

I wasn’t being picky at all this roar, having only three days for the whole month. Was a bit early where I went in Southland but still intercepted this fella at 10m as he came in to a roar....

I can tell you now that when I sat on the Kylie throne the lid wasn't there. Could see the lid lockers and the decking etc but the actual toilet lid was gone. Made the flies pretty bad when the sun...

Was there two weeks ago. No lid now, probably got ripped off in the wind.

You guys didnt waste a minute, nice one.

Makororo special, already posted a yarn in the stories section

That’s a nice shaped head.

That site is a ripper. Found heaps of old blaze tracks that way

Just wanted to say I’m enjoying the history in these replies.

Where was Centre Makaroro XR500? I’m assuming where Barlow is now?

Brilliant report. Those boys will remember that.

I wish I had done the big trip, but it was well worth a shorter version. He didn’t muck around!

I had an “old school” trip planned with a mate through a solid chunk of Northern Ruahine country for a week but when an urgent work matter came up I had no choice but to can a couple of days of the...

He will only be dominant, not necessarily larger in antler size. More likely to be bigger bodied and older.

Learn how to hind call as that often stirs them up. Always roar a little less than they do. Dont be afraid to go quiet and stop roaring if you have one going half arsed as they will often spark up...

Young fella looks rapt TLB, awesome stag!

Not sure why but I can’t send a PM in reply to this. What period did you have it? Were deer using flats at night working beats? Or holed up in the bush up high. And how big was tthe campsite? Small...

The sentimentalist in me says yes they’re still there but the realist says no. I think it was in Ray Tinsleys book he mentioned some other less credible sightings to the south of Dusky. I wonder if...

Great article by a true sportsman. I studied with him at Otago yrs back. Always forthcoming with his time and his boundless energy.

I abandoned the idea via mid po as like you heard the mid po access was shut thanks to people shooting stock. And honestly, fair enough, anyone would have done the same.

Ngamoko is definitely...

It’s a great spot that. I painted the hut a year or so back. Awesome report

Ahh the joys of southland tussock country. Well done to the young fella.
