Amazing, thanks for taking us along.  Did you see any Hobbits?
 

No Hobbits sighted. I think parts of LOTR or the Hobbit were filmed in this valley though.
Don Thomas said that hunting here was to hunt middle earth.

On one trip they were filming LOTRs one valley over from where I was hunting, but I had no clue what it was about at the time. Crazy when it came out and I found out.

Clint, thanks for sharing your hunt and photographs.  The scenery is absolutely breath taking. Reminds me of hunts above timberline for Mtn Goat, or Bighorn rams

Quel poids de flèche aviez-vous envisagé pour ces tirs éloignés ?

Merci

Hey Clint, how's it going mate?
Been a while since I've been here, but very happy to see you're still hitting the NZ Alps.

Stunning scenery,  great pics of camp and Tahr and Chamois. Tough on missing the Chamois but I feel your pain, as I shot over a Moluccan Rusa up the Cape the other week at 30m.

Keep up the inspiring hunting.

The story and photos were thoroughly enjoyed. While living in MT in 1973-74 I back-packed and hunted the o.t.c. bighorn tag areas in what's now the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. You made me remember being young, again I enjoyed your post.

Cheers mate. Please....tell us more about the Moluccans. When I lived in Weipa I went up to Possession island just to see if there was any on there but didn't see any sign at all. I dreamed of getting over to Prince of Wales island but never had the contacts or the boat needed.
