Congratulations Scott on a perfect Representative of the species.

I am looking froward to the story of your hunt and perhaps some extra photos.   :campfire:    :clapper:

G’day Gentlemen,

Never have I posted details of any of my harvest. Perhaps it is somewhat selfish since I thoroughly enjoy living the treasured experiences shared by others. However, my main driver is the fear of miserably failing to render the proper respect these wonderful creatures deserve. Also, sharing this particularly coveted adventure, which may never be possible for some, holds its own personal reserve.

The Trad Gang group’s enthusiastic inquiries have moved me to present this splendid adventure. Much gratitude is enjoyed by the genuine care-  so freely rendered by the Trad Gang family. This NZ adventure requires no additional galvanizing, just accurate and vivid interpretations of my field notes.

Just returned from NZ this afternoon and have only had 2 hours of shuteye since Friday. Please attempt to maintain some patience as I recover and attend to the home front?  Will likely start posting by Thursday. No attempts will be intentionally rendered in order to string you along.

This adventure warrants establishing an accurate delivery of this splendid account.

Thank you and best regards,
Scott

If no one shared their successful or unsuccessful trips afield this would turn into a boring tech talk site. Share away!

Notwithstanding the posts of the many individuals who have already extended to you their unreserved congratulations, I feel I must opine as well with respect to your singularly inspiring accomplishment...

AWESOME, DUDE!
