I'll be back that's for sure Jeff, just not sure where to hunt or what animals...lol.

 Your dead right whip and ray, when getting up that high I was thinking...
 "Now if i do a wee tumble here I'm more worried about my bow and camera!... I can be patched up"

 Strange way of thinking but hell, it's my skin.

Anyway getting back to the hunt. This is what we were after lads.

   

 True, free range wild red stags. Note to any hunter going to NZ to hunt the Reds: if the head gear is any bigger than this it has,or is, been in a pen... Another FACT. The ones you see with trees growing out of there skulls are fed up on suped up feed and nuts etc, to get the massive growth.

 Sadly it is creeping into hunting in NZ and here in Australia as well, but there is still plenty of wild wilderness to hunt and operations that cater for this. Just tell 'em you want no high fences.

 The two fellas that run the area I hunted can not stand the way hunting is going around the world, gold medal this and 100% that. And it suited me to the ground.

I wish I was in NZ hunting right now.  It's on my short list of places to hunt before I get too old to go anymore.  Looks like a tremendously good time.

Alan, please continue your story. It's always nice to hear about someone's hunting trip and see places that others would love to go to.

Thanks for sharing the place looks to great to describe.  The pictures are breath taking, I had heard the fly fishing is great there also.  What a get away, maybe someday I can leave a few tracks there myself!!!  Showing us all the goodies you have bought makes it even that much better.  Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!

that's classic elk habitat, there, if I've ever seen it.

wonder what happened to those trees there? Fire?
