Red Deer Roar Hunt

Kiwi · Apr 11, 2016

Just got back from a week bow hunting in Southern Westland, South Island, NZ.

The area is known for decent stags but low numbers. I saw a few stags and got close to one in dense bush (most of the time you can only see 20 - 40 yards) but missed my chance with the bow.

Had an awesome adventure with great friends. Here are some photos.

That is some stunning country. Looks like some tough hunting. Thanks for sharing.

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need to go to New Zealand to hunt. Posts like this one complicate that effort. Beautiful country
