Love the Hound! Congrats on a beautiful space.

@Tintin kudos sir! Your room has the warm of an old hunting lodge and I can hear old hunters telling their tales and sharing their knowledge. Outstanding use of materials. My kind of room! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks gents - appreciate the comments.

@Spearhead - even thought the room is not yet completely finished - the tales with mates have already begun - some of the tales may even be true :ROFLMAO:

@JES Adventures - the hound has settled in well to his 'other home'. He's particularly interested in the pheasant pair that I have about 8 feet off the floor - hopefully that's enough :unsure:
 
Love the way your room came out! I am sure your hound is very much at home and might allow others to share the space
 
Thanks @AZDAVE - and @NIGHTHAWK the hound and I would definately welcome you for a visit if you're down this way.

Thanks! I'll be close in 3 weeks... This will be my second trip to NZ (May 9th to 21st), but have yet to make it to Australia. It's on my list for sure!

Lochinvar Lodge is in a rural setting on the outskirts of Fairlie, a small farming township just 2.5 hours drive from Christchurch on the spectacular inland route to Tekapo, Wanaka and Queenstown, NZ.

I've hunted that region - beautiful country.

A word of warning ... the pies at the Fairlie Bakehouse are highly addictive. :ROFLMAO:

The Venison & Cranberry or Mackenzie Lamb are both good to start with. I can't comment on the vegan option.:ROFLMAO:

One of my hunting buddies gained a new nickname when we were there in '23.

He is now henceforth and forever known as 'Eight Pies'. No doubt much to his chagrin. :ROFLMAO:

With a bit more commitment, he could have tried the entire menu.

In his defence, not all eight were not consumed in one sitting. ;)

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
