Re: NZ's west coast, mountain memories

I also know this thread is old, but it is an incredible story with a great outcome (at least for one hunter!). Absolutely top work and thanks for sharing the tale! Epic.

Re: The "Nephew" tale. Full story and pics!

Great write-up! Sounds like a fantastic trip. Don't worry about the big brown snake skin- it actually belongs to a carpet python. You can tell by counting the scales, and also the faint markings residual on the shed skin. Excellent photography too!

Re: blunt or broadhead?

Broadheads will rip a bunny to pieces. That's fine if you don't want to eat it. Bunnies make great eating, so I prefer to hit them with a blunt. I use Outback SGB's and they do a great job!

Excellent stuff! Looks like a good shot, and fun times. Hope you get to remove a few more from our beautiful landscape that these goats love to destroy.

Your frogs are Lesueur's tree frogs, Litoria lesueuri. They can be a range of colours and I agree the yellow ones are particularly nice!

I'll second a little Corolla. We have a 1993 Subaru Impreza that keeps going and going and going, but parts are expensive I hear. She has 300,000km on the clock and doesn't seem to notice, but the fuel economy could be better.

It doesn't stack would possibly be the better description, but check out the draw force curve Rob kindly posted up on the "A look at FLATLINE" thread. It's more difficult to draw over the earlier part of the cycle and then eases up. I can really feel the difference in the draw. I suppose, ...
