Hunted in New Zealand a couple weeks ago and had a great time.

 

This is the edge of Tahr country on the South Island.

 

This picture was taken from the charter plane flying between the islands on a cloudy morning. The sun was just starting to come up. Spectacular!

 

Shot this tahr on a very lucky hunt.

 

This is the North Island where we hunted for red stag.
 

The roar was over and the stags were back in groups. Weather was wet and cold after the 90 degree stuff we were used to at home.

 

After a bit of drama I collected a beautiful stag.

Way to go Denny! Two great looking animals and a beautiful place to hunt them in as well.

Very cool Denny, thanks for sharing the pictures with us!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Those animals and pics are wonderful, Denny.  Something tells me we'll have to wait for the stories to hit print!

Congrats.

I'm dying here!  All I can say after looking at those pics is I wanna go!  The "after a bit of drama" part's getting me the most-REALLY wanting to hear how it all went.  Congrats on some amazing animals.    :archer2:

Great going Denny! Beautiful country and animals there. I never can follow all the plots and twists in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, but I sure do enjoy seeing all the New Zealand mountains in them. What a fine hunt you must have had, thanks for taking us with you.       :archer:
