‘Couldn’t have asked for a much better weekend’
Publishers
Continued from page 1. It was Nelson hunter Harrison Trowbridge’s second time in the event. This year he shot four stags and a pig travelling down to Hoikitika and Lake Rotoiti with mates Brad Pyers and Ted Oakely. “They were pretty big nights out,” he says. “I located a deer and made the stalk in on it to run it only 50 metres in front of us. We were all surprised at first, Ted shot and missed and I was just lucky and waited for a shot to present itself while on the move.” Harrison says he was ‘over the moon’ to win the heaviest deer category with a weigh in at 133kgs. “I couldn’t have asked for a much better weekend,” he says. Tavern co-owner Stacey Goodwin says it was a great day had by all and everyone was having a great time despite the rain coming later in the afternoon with most staying for the prizegiving. She says a special thanks to Blenheim Police who was on hand to draw the major spot prizes and the Toyota Hilux won by Sam Lunn from Seddon. The tavern would also like to say a huge thanks to all the sponsors involved in this year’s hunt and a special mention to Andrew and Ben Norris from Houston Motor Group and Marlborough Motor Centre.
