DID YOU HEAR? Sounds hard to believe but five members swear that they were adoing nothing more: than tramp and swim down the Upper Ruamahunga Gorge when they came across a young deer gasping its last breath on the riverbank, A humane despatch with a knife and half an hour later the trip continued complete with skin and a quantity of meat, Appears the animal had taken off at the parties approach and fallen over a bluff ending, up right at their feet.
