        They guy at the oversized baggage said the "live rounds" were by my binos in my backpack. I was pretty sure I had cleaned out the backpack because it is new but we did take it shooting before we left. Then I remembered my bino case/strap!



        This is how I carry my leicas.



        There are some pockets on the harness.



        Found this when I opened the main pocket.



        Apparently 3 rounds of 7mm-08 in a carry on bag causes some excitement! I totally forgot I put those three rounds in there the last trip with with junior. I wanted a few extra bullets in case things got spotty and obviously forgot they were there. No idea how security in the US didn't find them.

          Looks like the moonwalk or whatever it was from revenge of the nerds!

              Tell Colin and Rodie that James says hello and I will see them in June. Which lodge are you all hunting from?

                    I'm glad the live rounds didn't get worse than it did...

                      That had the potential to be a nightmare.

                          Up and at'em here in NZ! Gotta shower and reorganize our gear. Had a great dinner last night at a place called 27 steps. I had a cocktail called a Janice Joplin and a New Zealand port at the end. Had a great bottle of dry river Pinot noir with the meal. Here we go!!!

                            The Janice Joplin and the Pinot noir.



                            Braised venison cheeks as a starter.



                            Chocolate ganache and a port for dessert!

                              I'm a huge Joplin fan (though I'm sure if she had lived I'd hate her politics)...looking up how to make the cocktail now...looks delicious!
                              Have fun and hope y'all get some great animals!
