Drawn a Ballot for Fiordland Wapiti. (Elk)
Mount Longsight Block. (Coastal.)
Will hunt from a base tent camp. Fly in by helicoptor with a 3.5M inflatable boat on board. Move around by boat, and maybe do a couple of overnight inland trips
They are getting rare down there, but still the odd good one sneeking about.
Tough hunting conditions, wet, wild, remote, steep, bush clad.
7th time down there for me.
Season here is Mid March to End April.
Heading out 11th April until 22nd April.
Gearing up the chopper boat etc.
Here's hoping for good weather and a nice big 6X6 (300+)
Also the side attractions of Fishing, hopefully find a couple of lazy big browns (Trout) and catch a few cod and groper in the sea.
The crayfish(lobster) and Paua (Abalone.) will just top it all off.
I'm getting hungry already.
Almost sounds too good to be true.
Will post a few pics after the event.
