Hey mate mean video we’res that would it be worth going in for a pig and giving the old shelter a clean up

[@CigarNZ1]

Yeah, I know where that is, I hunt an area not too far away. What days were you in there?

[@SSRhys]

Awesome mate, it's a nice area! I've hunted a bit back over towards the main track when I first started hunting, so it was good to come back and venture a bit further. We were in from the 7th to 10th.

[@CigarNZ1]

@@SSRhys I heard a shot from that direction, but that was on the 12th so obviously wasn't you then!

[@SSRhys]

Definitely wasn't me mate! How did you get on in there?

[@CigarNZ1]

@@SSRhys Plenty of sign, bumped a couple but nothing seen. Too many other hunters around to try roaring!

[@SSRhys]

@@CigarNZ1 bummer mate! We were quite lucky over where we were, didn't seem to be anyone around. We walked into 2 hunters on the second morning while we were chasing a stag, that was over towards the main track so we turned away from them after a chat and I shot that second stag an hour later. Then we hunted opposite direction for the rest of the trip and never heard or seen anyone

[@nzmeateater]

Subed ya bro👍

[@SSRhys]

Cheers mate 👍

It's sad to see such a magnificent forest like Pureora being trashed by deer. We really need to get proper 1080 deer control there so the forest doesn't go the same way as so many other forests. There's a whole suite of ferns and broad leafed shrubs that are absent in this footage that should be there. Coprosmas, Aspleniums etc. Alseouosmia are chomped to heck, heading for extinction. So many other forests are just crown fern and horopito deserts after years of deer damage. Deer hunting is great fun. Good to see fellows out there doing it. So many shooters, not so many real hunters who actually stalk deer.

Honks hut

[@SSRhys]

Thanks mate, have been given a bit of a back story on it about Hank “Honk” Reynolds, a possum trapper in the 70s

[@shaunspillane4144]

Anyone point in the right direction to find Honks hut ? I have alot of history about Honk.

[@SSRhys]

Hey Shaun, are you on Facebook? Flick me a message Rhys Thomson and I'll help ya out 👍

[@BushEscape]
