Absolutely sound here though. Had duck season opener today. Dawn till dusk in the mai mai with four other sound fellas. Proper duck dynasty style. It’s basically a f***ing national celebration day here, lol. All over the news! They love it. Some pig hunting shortly and tahr/chamois this week. ‘Heaps’ of other stuff too. The big southern alps hunt has had to be knocked on the head for many reasons but we’re chasing them elsewhere. Saves a thousand dollars chopper fee though! ill post in a fortnight. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,639 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 One thing I’ll say though. f**k they have it sorted here in the South Island. It’s just f***ing right without all the wrong. It’s so similar it feels like home. It’s strange. I couldn’t be further away from England but I honestly don’t think I could feel closer. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh i did only get them off google lol I’ll just have to hit the lakes as well while I’m there so it’s not a major problem! I was going to just do Thailand and Vietnam but when you see how cheap it is you may as well see the lot! I’ve not met or heard one person say anything bad about any of the countries over that way so it should be a good one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
