NZ hunting

[tarponhead]

Just watched a NZ Controlled Recoil video on You Tube. c.400 yd shots with .308, pig, deer and goats recovered in one session and recovery from precipitous drops. Steep doesn’t begin to describe it. Kudos to the hunter who is at one with his ground, quarry and kit. Amazing contrast to my benign walk on the woods, after roe and muntjac. Now on my list for next year, but can anyone tell me if NZ hunting has to include “the steep stuff”? I’m not great with heights but willing to “man up” if necessary, or just bring extra underwear…

No, that’s mainly down south.

I went stalking and pig hunting in North island nice rolling countryside and some steep bits but nothing scary.
Watch hunt for the wilderpeople for an ideal of the terrain and a good laugh.

Which part of no do you want to hunt ?

You're a whole lot more likely to come undone in a creek or river than plummeting to your doom off some precipitous hillside.

What island are you looking at - and what animals do you want to chase?

Not sure yet - fly fishing is my first love - free water and coastal but hunting deer and pigs would add to my list

Amazing fly fishing destination!
Rivers and lakes are top drawer. Some amazing memories from Taupo and rotorua areas.
