Things I am looking for in 2012

by Whaleoil on January 4, 2012

Here is a list of things I am looking for in 2012:

A duck pond/swamp/lake/river bend within 2 hours of Auckland for duck shooting season ( I want to build a cool maimai)
Some good upland game spots within 2 hours of Auckland
Some land that I can build a little cabin or campsite on…the land must have deer wandering through it periodically.
Plentiful varmint shooting within 2 hours of Auckland…rabbits, goats, possum, cats
Some corn or grain fields with a pigeon problem that needs sorting

I think I will also get:

Re gun cam. One of these is on my wish list for capturing my rare moments of 3 gun brilliance.

I had a similar wish list a couple of years ago. Spent a year looking
for the ideal place. Found 11 acres for 95k 90mins drive away. Purchased
the land and started building a very small cabin on it 9 months ago.
Almost have the exterior completed. Hoping to get the interior finished
before the roar. Have planted over 150 trees – varieties of oak for the
many pheasants. The land borders a river full of trout. The river is
frequented by local deer.

All I can say is do it. I look forward to every available day I can get away to bang in a few more nails, stalk and fish.

Duck shooting – head to Waiuku (1hr from downtown AKL) & then down to the Waikato River, plenty of maimais along the river with a “Deliverence” kind of feel about it all….Stephen (Beaver) Donald country – where our finest ABs go to whitebait!
Shooting – head up the Awhitu Peninsula, deer, possums, rabbits – and as far as varmits go there are plenty of hippies & greenies out there on the Peninsula that could do with a dose of lead poisoning
