I just got finished with a 7 day, "wild Red Deer" hunt myself.  Down in the Blue Mountain area near Tapanui.  We hiked for MILES up massive hills.  The roar was just starting and we had some exciting times.  I agree with Al.  If you see a photo of this massive, huge stag, it is a farm reared stag that has been fed every growth hormone and special feed possible and then released in a paddock (pasture).  

Beauty beyond description...  Huge country and se saw no other hunters.  Didn't get a shot, but what a time I had.  We did manage to catch some HAWG Brown Trout during mid day, though!

You've done a magnificent job of reporting what New Zealand can be like.  Congrats on a great hunt, Al.

I was a just thinking of you on my drive back into Christchurch mate. Wonder where the 8th lived? We must catch up one of these days. Maybe my next trip to the land of the long white cloud.

Very cool stuff. Looks a lot like paradise would or should I'd like to think.

I've heard NZ is a wonderful place to ride a motorcycle.
