That's a hell of a man den Fes! looks a cool place to hang out and do some hunting.

That looks great fishing Fes. Would you like the book, I'd be happy to send it to you?

Great pics Fes.
I admire the lodge immensely. Fantastic that you used recycled and heritage stuff to construct it.
I was a bit worried that I was gonna see a Hobbit or something walking across the fields.
Magnificent country.

Fes, you and your family are truly blessed. The level of appreciation that you have for it all is the part I respect the most. You are a smart man.

Thanks for sharing this with us all.

I can only repeat what the others have said Fes, you are indeed a rich and blessed man to be able to go to such a place in nature and enjoy. That is a beautiful spot, and the lodge, man, what a way to getaway!

If Fes doesn't want this old book. I'd be quite happy to send it to one of the other Trad Kiwis if it's of interest. Duncan?

A great read and good pics. Thanks for posting. NZ is a beautiful place.
I can imagine you sneaking up on a big ole gobbler with a board and whack it off a fence - priceless!
I have always wanted to go to NZ to hunt - especially hogs.
Here is another pig....

[festerfromnzed]

Hoggs..we call them swine,and love to hunt them..heres a pic from our local fundraiser for our primary school..red boar and left and right of it were ours...we won a 308 for average weight...dogs and knives.. FES

Yup..that boar killed his best 2 dogs and and opened TOM up as well...up through inside of thigh ,nearly bled him out...The boar in pic is 220 pound...his best is 335.......FES

I guess he didn't get the second stick of dynamite off quick enough!! Holy shute!

Great thread ,gorgeous.
