[@bivvy1238]

Love the content you put out mate, very easy watching 🤙. However, some individuals may perceive it as unfortunate that you're openly sharing the exact areas of where you're having success

[@jbwild]

Thanks for the comment, yes I've had plenty of negative comments filter through about that sort of thing. I'm not fazed by it as it's good to share, especially the areas where there are too many deer on the hill and not enough hunters keeping the population healthy. I love seeing others out there enjoying it and am sick of individuals who think public land and huts are their own private spots.

[@bivvy1238]

@@jbwild Not having a go at ya mate or saying that public land/huts are anyone's private spots by any means. I've hunted through there since the 80s and its only just started to pick back up in terms of numbers the past few years along with other areas. But some people aren't as sensible as us in terms of just taking what they need. Just food for thought, but sounds like people have been onto ya about it anyways. Great vid as always. Cheers :)

Hey bro really enjoy your vids thanks for uploading 👍, can I ask... how do you find the carpark there any trouble ? Cheers Kane

[@jbwild]

Cheers for the support bro. I haven't had much trouble over the years although I have seen broken windows, vehicles stolen and wheels missing etc. Like anywhere in NZ vehicle security is always a risk. Whirinaki Adventures/ Jailhouse Shuttles run a good service for drop-offs and pickups. So that could be an option for you if not keen on leaving your wagon. Cheers Jacob

[@obsessionoutdoorsnz]

@jbwild thanks yeah like anywhere aye that's it... shuttle sounds good 👍

[@georgefairweathermoonlight4]

i cut up discs of velvet and froze them for my old dog spose to be good for them.... good on yous

[@jbwild]

Awesome, might give that a try. She's definitely slowing down, eyesight and ears not doing so good. Thanks Jacob

[@simonakers4381]

[@jbwild]

Hey mate, Skips and Roger's are still standing or were you meaning the Waiau River huts?

[@simonakers4381]

[@jbwild]

Yeah, thankfully they were left as is 😊 fingers crossed they see out a few more generations
