Issue 57 - Feb/Mar 2017

This has been the windiest January I can remember in a long time, and we seem to have been blown out of the mountains repeatedly over the last month. These persistent W/NW/SW gale and severe gale wind patterns just haven’t let up - you’d think we were still in the spring equinox!

With rubbish weather in the hills, if you’re confined to barracks at least you can sit back and get some sort of hunting fix watching Season 3 of NZ Hunter Adventures on Choice TV, Wednesday night at the new time of 8.30pm. Episode one and two will have been and gone by the time you read this, but you’ll still be able to catch the remaining eight. You can also catch the ones you’ve missed on Choice TV On-Demand https://www.choicetv.co.nz

And don’t forget there is a DVD out now of Season 2, if you happened to miss any of those too.
