Yes, that's a possibility. He went missing in January so could have stumbled onto someones plantation or some other illegal activity. Who knows. You would have to be careful wondering through the bush over there in case you walked onto an old mine shaft that was overgrown. Fall in and the overgrowth springs back in place so noone can see or find you again. Horrible way to go.
Did you speak to the shadowy fella Graham? Wonder what he was up to?

Makes sense - I was shadowed as I said in an earlier post at Granville Forest, Totara Flat - that was close to harvest time - Easter about five or six years ago. I also came across some dubious looking interbred cretins on two other Easter trips at Big River near Reefton

Ever heard of terrorism? - I see red when people threaten me like that - Do unto others before they do unto you? If someone threatens you then you have several recourse of action - go to the police - trash like that do NOT like adverse publicity - they cannot afford to have the police visiting them. The police also take a dim view of trash who threaten others with a firearm - its bye bye firearm.

The second option is to shadow them home - find out where they live - trash their property - they have no idea where, who or why but the latter they guess! They usually blame some others scum sucker in the drug line! As the police in Chicago said encourage the crims to cull each other out - it save us the trouble and also improves the breed!

The other option is to take their photo on your cell phone then go out and phone the police and lay a complaint right there and then - explain where you are and describe the low life - let the police come and sort them out right there and then.

It is more serious than you think as I do know of a nasty instant on the West Coast up Buller way but shant relate it here.

Another option is to discuss it with the police and maybe set the trash up - if I wanted to go somewhere then I daresay I would do it but I might consider carefully my plan of action to make sure that if I am shadowed I hold the whip hand...always ways and means.

But it does pay to find out everything you can about the person who threatens you - name, car, rego number, address - everything. If need be wait outside hotel and shadow him home to find out where he lives or merely wait outside to find what vehicle he goes to and get the registration number and it all fits into place once you have it.

I note that many of these slime balls booby trap their plantations - I rather like the idea that if a person does find a plantation and it does have booby traps then to simply relocate the traps so that those who set them also set them off!

I have come across small plots in the bush but in all cases there were no booby traps but I had heard of them in the North Island - I dont know what it is like on the Coast though...nice idea to see those who set traps for others get caught by their own devices.

Me and my brother grewup on a dead end road that had bush on boath side,s and a river at the end of it one day when we finished our swim this old squear yellow cortina with a fat maori fella init and some other dood driving it went parst us slowly then turned around and followed us up the road then stop,d we kept on walking around the couner and i look,d back to see the fat fella pulling out a gun and then fireing it into the air....bit harsh i thought considering i was only 10 and my brother 8 even year,s later our naebour had letters poked into his mail box telling him if he harvisted his maze they would burn his house down they didnt do that but they did wreck his tractor.....
after that we used to find weed all over the show.....even at school!
that was over 20 years ago so i can only imagine what,s going on these day,s in the bush with even more nutters around.
