Ive done the southern a few times from Rakiahua hut to Doughboy and back. Ive not done the Nor-West completely as I find tramping for the sake of it not much fun. Theres also the Tin range to Pegasus...

Got friends doing the southern circuit now. We got heavy rain and winds forecast so they will be hunkering down somewhere. Nor west circuit is easier as huts spaced out for entire walk and better...

Nice one. Im going to follow yours and your dogs progress with interest. My new shooting mate is 7 months old black Lab, who's showing alot of interest on the whitetail.

Im in the market for a new tent.
Finally my old Fairydown 2 person, NZ made tent is leaking from floor corners and seam tapes are delaminating. Ive had this tent for twenty years plus and used it...

Hire a dinghy off the charter operator as it opens up a lot of your block and of course the fishing. Chewy usually has good deer numbers, and kiwis and sea lions. Watch the beaches first and last...

Behind the hut.. Talking to some blokes who had just come out of there and an inquisitive wap type spiker wouldn't leave them alone. Im not advocating shooting wap types. But deer not far away.

Enjoyed that. Hard case, talking yourself through parts of that. Makes me want to get another bike.

My Mrs and myself did a road trip round NZ for 3 months. I reckon there's at least one piece of rubbish every meter on side of our roads were ever we drove. We did top to bottom and all Nat parks we...

I used to have an 88. Decided to pull it all apart for a good clean. Far out was it a job and a half to put it all back together. Good work drilling through a piece of cobalt.

Bought a set of scope rings today in Invers and had to supply my firearms licence. Words fail me!!!

Got it, yeah.

Hard case that fawn. Tried something similar back in the days I worked on the salmon farm. Put a mirror in the sea cages to try and make the fish swim towards a shallowing net. As it took a big...

I collect knifes and to find a good condition Green River that is stamped into the blade at forging, is quite hard. Tons of later GRs with the name etched onto the blade. I have an very early...

You could also consider a private charter boat. Theres a couple that cruise Fiordland. Warm bed at night, showers and crayfish etc to eat. Most of them can drop you off for a hunt etc. Bonus if...

We use lanox, a lanoline base spray for our traps on Stewy Is. I think crc makes it. Works well.

Davy Gunn country. Gotta be able to put up with the sand flys. Someone suitable take him up on his offer.. Amazing part of our back country.

Hi grandpamac,
I remember Ron Pink and a few others. I was in the junior deerstalkers Napier branch. One early trip Ron produced a snider and gave us all a shot. I so remember the explosive boom and...

Hawkes Bay born and spent a heck of a lot of time in its back blocks. My father was a pig hunter and collected old Winchesters. This and a heap of times on my uncles farm at the back of Tutira gave...

Looks like a tikka to me, least ways very similar to my one.

Your right 2Shearer, there is a hut there now.

Living and hunting a lot on Rakiura Stewart Is brings out the worst in rifle corrosion problems. The marine atmosphere gets em all. My Sako 75 ss rifle has with stood most of it but having Camo tape...
