Wow - my beautiful country NZ.  I have lived half of my life now in Australia (27yrs), I have forgotten how beautiful my New Zealand is.  I have family there still and can go back anytime.  Looks as if this has jogged my memory.  

Keep up the rest of the story lads - you have us hanging in suspense.

Can't wait for the rest of this report. I've taken the longbow into that country twice this year, and know how tough it is to get even a chance.

The last pictures were of our first camp. The next morning we started heading up the unknown creek, into terrain that would have been testing without packs full with supplies for 14 days on the mountain.

 

 

 

 

 


This was our second camp (Fern camp).
While following the creek we had to head into the bush to clear a house size boulder, this was at mid morning and by the time we got to a point past the boulder, we had gained some elevation but had come to an impassable wall of rock. We then made the decision to lose the elevation and head down to the creek and hope we had cleared the obstacle we were trying to avoid.
By the time we hit the creek darkness had started its march and we had only one option where to set up camp, it turned out to be one of the best camps of the trip with a magic view.

we had a tent for the tops. glad we had the tarp. we wouldn't have been able to pitch the tent at any of our bush camps.
 
sorry pics are taking so long. photobucket isn't doing what it should for me.

Wow - you forget how hard-core wilderness NZ still is.  Can't wait for the conclusion of this hunt guys.  Even if you ended up not taking a trophy, it still must have been a memorable time together.

Tough Hunt is an understatement!
The "trail" is killer in itself. Love that tarp camp. Great view is right.
