From my recent hunt in NZ ...
a small Billy from the foothills of some beautiful but extremely rugged mountains .

later in the trip I hunted Red deer further south in Fiordland and saw what can only be described as Gods country ... simply stunning !

Equip ...
T/d 52 # Rhino 66" string follow
1 2016 arrow tipped with STOS 160 head , fletched with some beautiful turkey feathers given to me by my mate Rob Di Stefano
1 Green Arrow t shirt

This goat was later stewed with some veggioes and chilli ... beautiful !

I also later in trip managed to catch a 9 pound trout ... mmmmm yummm

i'll post more pics later ... i have to down load them off the video camera and I phone etc as the day i turned up in NZ ... my camera decided to die !

some of these pics below were actually taken by the other lads

here is me and the boys with our gear .. and me and my Robin Hood # 13
