Hey waikatohunter01, if you don’t mind hanging out with a grumpy old man, happy to show you are lake Kainui ( lake D ) during the season, give me a shout, I live in Ngaruawahia and hunt often during...
To shoot on lake kainui you need a permit, usually there are permits available for the maimai people and a few roaming permits are given. I have shot there the last 5 years except last year due to...
I pig hunted up the waihaha for years, go up to the big clearings and then go the right, or north and camp down in there, most hunters walk past this area to get to the hut, you might just get lucky,...
Further to my bucket list post, an old mate and I have decided let’s start ticking some of our goals on the bucket list, so we are thinking of making the journey down south for a Tahr Hunt,
Am I...
I was a pig hunter for 40 years, does your dog bail when he is on his own, and if he can stop pigs then hunt him on his own. Some dogs are like people, on their own you are careful about starting a...
I pig hunted with dogs there for many years, leaving a car by the bridge where the track starts used to be risky. Disclaimer though I haven’t been there for probably 5 years. I did used to see deer...
My concern is this sort of thing can become control by stealth, I also ask why do Iwi get final say on these kind of situations.
Surely there are mkitigation plans that could be put in place and...
I would choose a 7 x 57, ethically kill any animal in New Zealand very efficiently
I used to hunt up there, haven’t for 4 or 5 years now, used to run my pig dogs and catch the odd pig.
It’s a busy place now with a lot of walkers using the tracks, I think they’re maybe the odd goat...
I was a pig hunter with dogs for more than 40 years, loved it, best adrenaline rush ever for me. I agree about how sometimes one dog can keep a good pig calm not feel the need to fight back, but...
I have never hunted around hauhangaroa hut, but have hunted for many years in the waihaha area, firstly it never used to be very safe leaving a vehicle overnight by the start of the track at the...
I would also be keen to attend
Unfortunately I was working all weekend, I will have a crack later this week, I have shot there off and on for 30 years and it seems to have progressively become worse, but there are some maimais...
No, I am talking about Lake Kainui, formerly known as Lake D,
The public lake I shoot on here in the waikato has a walking track around it, despite the warning signs walkers want to excercise their rights to walk around the lake during duck shooting, this...
I used to do a lot of drift shooting in the past but over the last few years it was obvious this was going to happen, so many houses and people walking close to the river.
Cambridge to Hamilton used...
I shoot on public water, I usually put mine out the day before opening day, then after opening weekend I may reduce they numbers or remove them altogether, then just put them out when I want to go...
I did 380,000 miles in 2 years in the USA in an international eagle with a series 60 Detroit, split horsepower 430 / 470 HP, thought that was a pretty good engine until I spent 6 months driving a 500...
I have done 3500 kms in my work ute, it’s going great, does what it should within its limitations, it’s comfortable and apart from the electricity I use from work everywhere else has been on free...
Just an update, I have now done 1500 kms in the Ute, getting more used to it, because I work around the north waikato area I have used the fast charges at countdown Huntly, never had to wait, and...
I thought I would do a trial run towing my boat, I hooked the boat on, which weighs 970 kg, I did a 40 km test drive, relatively flat terrain, and although the Ute pulled it ok, i definitely wouldn’t...
In response to who asks what the LDV drives like, compared to the old hilux, well the LDV drives well, has plenty of power, has 3 driving modes, power, normal and economy, has a goood sound system,...
I know this Ute isn’t what most of us expect from a ute, my personal vehicle is a 2002 hilux 4Wd drive double cab, this is a townies ute, the ground clearance is not great, it’s 2 wd and I am not...
I will give it a go towing over the holidays but it’s only rated to tow 1 tonne, I believe it will probably halve the range,
