Thanks for the nice replies.

The guides name is Dave Barraclough – you can find him on the website of realwild.co.nz.
He’s actually a skipper of a fishing boat … but loves hunting.

Well done. Looks like a great time was had.

Fantastic looking country, looks primeval, especially the pic with the guide.
Great story, great pics and a fantastic prize.
Thanks.
Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the adventure.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
