It has been ages since i last posted. I was in Christchurch last weekend cos a friend got married. While i was there i finally got my gun safe open and was able to bring my rifles back to Fox with me. Today i decided to head out for a walk along one of the local rivers. I was only about 30mins from the car when i saw a Chamious just across the river. I had been planning to check out some flats further along the river for deer. I spent about 5 mins watching the Chamious, before i decided to shoot it. It was an ok sized one its horns where about 6 inches long which is a bit bigger than the only other one that i shot years ago.
This is a photo of one of the native NZ orchids. I found the plant about a mth ago. Someone had trimmed some branches on a really big old pine tree down the road and the plant was on one of the cut branches. I bought it home and put it by my steps. It started flowering a week ago.


I thought some pretty flowers might cancil the bad vibes of the poor dead Chamious
