[@waikarimoana]

Good day Glen, You always get some guys who have got nothing better to do, as you said, hope they grow up one day. Great shot and a great trip mate, thumbs up, thanks for taking us with, regards from Ross and i, Tony.

Cheers Tony, felt it needed highlighting as some fools just think its OK to cut down whatever they want and don't appreciate how long they take to grow!

Really really enjoyed this video mate. Great stuff keep it up and yea why would you cut down such a lovely tree for no reason.

[@duncannahona7970]

I wanted you to say what you were really wanting to say on the tree topic. The bait stations are a good idea an to me the tree looked like it had been dropped with a saw?? Annie coming along too

[@BackridgeButcher]

Trying to tone down my language Duncan as so many hunters tell me they watch my Vid's with their Kids lol! Still believe with a little management from DOC and interested parties bait stations would work long term as they do on some of the big high country stations I have visited...no need to 1080 all of the Kaweka's year in year out as Joe possum will just keep coming back from the surrounding private land

Nice trip, how long is the walk from the carpark to Back ridge hut?

[@codymaverick7660]

Great video. We were a couple of ridges over at the same time as you. Love the dog, what breed is she?? If you don't mind me asking.

[@BackridgeButcher]

Annie's Dad is part Lab/Wire-haired pointer and her Mum is a vizsla, she's a nice compact 22kg at the moment...where were you guys and did you have any luck??

[@tyvisser41]

We were at Otutu, Got a nice little one new years morning.

Great video, lovely dog. Annie seems to have such a good nature in the bush - what breed is she? (even though the hill didnt look that steep in the video, Annies approach coming down puts it in perspective! )

Good to see the Black Panther working! Another entertaining video. 🖒

[@BackridgeButcher]

She's doing alright Sam and loves being out there!

[@rickygrant9463]

Awesome vid I agree about the 1080 m8

[@BackridgeButcher]

Thanks Ricky

[@mysteryman662]

nice clip matey. poochy is gonna be a weapon

[@BackridgeButcher]

Still early days Mark and can only give her opportunities to do her thing, cant wait to bush hunt with her going forward and see what she's got!

[@lancejensen7737]

Great video mate, great point about 1080, we have some of the most beautiful back country in the world yet we drop some of the most toxic poison on the planet all over it, someones making alot of money off it

[@jasemsaleh796]

Good video mate, good idea with 1080, those idiot hunters need to be publicly shamed. Nice Waratah walking stick.

[@BackridgeButcher]

Thanks Jasem, they will know who they are and be feeling the shame!

[@ruahinehunter7441]

mate what an awesome trip,i agree with you about placing bait stations on public land tracks in the forest parks good idea alot better than putting it on the ground an in water ways,"they say"ohh possum are eating all our native bush yes they are eating some an deer do to but from experience of being in the bush there is alot of an thick too hahaa these fucken PEN PUSHES want get out of there office an come hunting with us thatll sort them out haha

[@BackridgeButcher]

Thinking I need to sit down with DOC and see what the rules are and if they would let me/others put bait stations in the Park...watch this space!

[@lukehayward8042]

exactly bro that's how I feel finding 1080 in our waters and killing our shit get the dol blisters of the couch pay to train them bush wise and give them a job possum fur is a good business

[@Jay-zm3bx]

Your right bro there's no need for 1080 in such areas that have access like the kaweka. Bored idiots need their asses kicked lol. And we pulled over to let you guy's pass us on your way out of there but we didn't recognize you's till just as you passed and we saw yas.
