NZ for Red
      25/01/11 07:42 AM

Well I've booked to shoot a Red stag in the North Island of NZ starting 4th April, 2011 near Taihape.

In no way is this going to be a fair dinkum hard yakka (hard work) hunt, but I do have to make some major improvements in my level of fitness. I'm not going to try to emulate the physical feats of Cinghale or other hunters his age either. It will be driving around on quad bikes and glassing for mature stags that wander out of the Ruahine ranges looking for hinds. Think of it as an 'old farts' shoot.

My Tony Small built 7x57 gets the nod with Sierra 140 SptBt's and Zeiss 2.5-10x42 #8 reticle.

I have most of the gear together for this. Knee high gatters, new water proof calf length boots c/- work, pure wool socks, wool thermal underwear, Ridgeline Roar jacket etc... but have no idea what to wear/get for pants ?

Any help appreciated.
