Off to New Zealand tomorrow ... bow In hand ...

General discussions. Politics, scuttlebutt, whatever: you're getting married, changing jobs, got a gripe or a compliment, dying to get out with the bow etc.....

Off to New Zealand tomorrow ... bow In hand ...

#1 Post by wishsong » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:14 pm

Along with another bunch of likely lads I head to New Zealand tomorrow ... first to Doctari to chase fallow and turkeys ... then down to Fiordland to chase some more deer ...with hopefully a few trout thrown in ...

A few years in the " hey...we should go to New Zealand " making , new bows ordered , arrows made and wary of the story one hears about "customs " I have the bags packed finally ... [ pretty sure I'll repack 25 more times " and away I go ...

A couple of new Hills in the stable are accompanying me , a new Sunset Hill back quiver too ...... amongst the lads gear is a Pronghorn , a Widow and one of Jeff's longbows ...

there'll be plenty of stumps whacked and stories shared around the dinner table ...

I'll post some photo's up upon return .
cheers

Ben

Good-oh! Have a blast, lads!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Rip into 'em, and have a great time!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
