View attachment 713400 Apparently we do have them and there a pest but are only in the waikato river and lake taupo in north island introduced in the 1870s. I never even new. But yea down here nah. We have the best salmon gene pool in the world in the rakia river. Something to do with something in Alaska lol and they come down here and get eggs and take them back to Alaska can't remember why or for what reason.

But nah no bass. Basically this little country before the white man came had birds, insects, reptiles and eels no mammals at all no other fish aww fresh water crays but yea alot of small flightless birds. It's over run with rabbits,pigs,deer,cats,stoats,chamois,rats, all the little wankers Haha. The poms wanted some hunting and woopsy. Bloody wallabies too.

Deer and wabbit, time to break out the Remy for the deer and Mossy for the wabbits.

Nothing wrong with having 1, 3 or 14 saws, can't be too careful in not having a saw if you know what I mean.

Steve

I know what you mean, I've got 10 running Poulans along with 2 Pioneers and a Shindaiwa, it's not a matter of need it's a matter of want.

10 jeeze I need to find some more my only one is a lonely 1.

Do ya cook up ya bunnys steve? And is that cat fish a big 1 or average?

 

[s sidewall]

That's a big long cat, I don't eat rabbits, son inlaw and his folks do, I just like hunting them with the beagles. Deer, that's a different story. All I do is rack hunt on our place. 8 points or bigger is the rules I setup, doe if they have been around for a good while. We've had plenty does for the past few years. That's winter meat.

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Yea just wondered I've never tried it before its dog tucker here mostly.

I dont really hunt myself a good mate of mine loves it and constantly feeds us venison mmmm he's a taxidermist so after the trophies too. Have you got deer on your own land? That's awesome if so

 

[Big Dan]

We missed the worst of the ice storm,it went north of us a few miles. Still have ice covered trees and grass but the the roads are in good shape.I'm just happy I don't have to run the generator.

Pulling parts for some folks. Just usable parts for project saws, not for beauty queens.

One of these days going to run out of my stash.

Now I finally get what you guys are on about lol are they tasty? only get salmon, flounder, eel and trout here for fresh water fish

What does eel taste like and how do you prepare it? One of those few foods still on my list to try someday.

Only seen it on a menu at the Japanese restaurant.

“Only”? Those are all top shelf fish.

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Most here smoke it if done right it can be yummy if not it's like a boot Haha. I have no idea what right is I'm from a trout family. Mmmm trout and then salmon people put there noses up at trout haha.

Big dan the 1st saw I ever bought when I was 18 and dumb was a old green micro and it ran but was gutless and didn't have alot of compression I gave it to my step dad and I think it hot biffed out wish I still had it my nabour has 1 and he won't part with it the bugger lol. So other than the 4000 I grabbed there the only proper old poulans I have seen. They are around perhaps more of an area thing.

Hotshot I mean only cos I see you fella's have of heap of fresh water fish. We got good stuff in the sea just not around here on our coast it's just shingle and boring for a few hundred ks

If you've got a 4000 at least you have one of Poulan's best.

Big ice storm moving in here tonight, got the generator ready to go and stocked up on firewood but if we get the 1/2 " to 1" of ice that is in the forecast I'll have downed trees blocking the driveway and will have to cut my way out. Good thing I have a good saw or three!

We got the snow and you get the ice!

It's a nice one too with new rings and a little bit of TLC

Jethro, very nice 4000 and video. How do you like the chain brake on yours? I have three saws so equipped and love running them. My 19 year old uses one because it adds an extra measure of safety as opposed to a saw without a brake. It's a personal preference of mine, and for her with our PPE. She'll still work on a saw now and then with me if I ask nicely! Max.

Who got the worst end of this deal?

That is a nice Canadian 4000, how did that end up down under? Couldn't really tell from the vid what bar length you're running, is that a 16" or 18"? Whatever it is that wood is no match for it.
