Thanks Guys,
Had an awesome day. knocked off early and went up the the Nevis Sports Club (Lower Nevis if you're looking on google maps) with about 10 mates, including another guy whos birthday was the same day. No deer any more as the commercial boys had pulled 1600 out by helicopter

. Nailed a few hares by spotlight though. Big night

Then up next morning to 3kg of bacon & 3 dozen eggs, into light fresh snow and out with the shotguns and 300 claybirds. Had a blast, literally. towed a mate behind the ute on a snow board on way home. All in all a great birthday. About the first time since I got married that I got to do what I wanted on my birthday - not to say the rest were bad or anything - this was better.
