Some footage from a month long hunt for deer & possoms in the Urutawa forest during the 1990's, and a mix of other hunting pics. The last of my VHF vids. Hunting in New Zealand.

Lots of good memories there for you Fred. Amazing how times weren’t so different even though we were in different islands, so similar to my youth. Great stuff cheers.

Thanks for the video Fred. Watching these recordings from the 80s and 90s, it just seems like a foreign world where you could just get on with what needed to be done. Unlike all the PC bollocks of today... Looking forward to some new videos from you soon. I'm sure that strapping lad of yours can carry a heavy pack to help you out with a hunt! 😊

God when one thinks back to the 70's/80's this movie makes me wonder the number of people that went through the Otawa hunting or just on walk abouts ah. I enjoyed this though it took me some time to work out where you were and I'm guessing here were you over in the Tokanui? It wasn't until you were at Big Munganuku roadend that I was certain. How that place has changed since the 20 odd track cutters had their tent camp up behind where you landed your deer. Cheers mate thank you for memories long before your time there.

Agreed ive long said we should double track and electrify the main trunk line. The bit thru thhe rumataka spiral is problematic but sovable. We should also invest in cosstal shiping as insurance against the inevitable earthquake
