Well, Covid cancelled our hunts for a few years , and this one was going ahead finally , albeit cut short with cancelled flights out of Oz ...

Despite some close calls , and mine was really really , super extra close , no Red Stags were taken .....

But some Merriams ended up on the fry pan ...

Poison Darts and as ever , my Widow PL's got it done ... ACE and RMSG Cutthroat heads on Footed Doug Fir and Easton Axis got the job done [attachment=1,msg3006669]



Sub zero temps don't mean nufink with good wool thermals !

But nothing beats my solo pig from the same place last year ... a long time goal - an NZ mountain boar with my longbow and woodies

I'd move there tomorrow

Nice pics,nice country,nice bows and gorgous turks.Well done!

Way to go Ben!  Beautiful country !

Ben, South Island of NZ is the most beautiful place I've ever been.  Yellowstone 2nd.

If you have anymore scenery pics from your trip I'd love to see them.

Would love to hunt and fish there some day...tks for the pics 

Dream hunts like that are a blessing.  Congratulations!!!
