I recently hit the bush for a two day hike, I thought I would share some pics with you all. theres was so much deer sign I wish I had taken a rifle, I dont think my boss would have liked it tho as I was being paid to guide clients not horrify them by shooting bambi

I like WSS, theres some consistant good info drifting around here so I thankyou all for making WSS such a great forum, Ive learnt heaps and I will do my best to start sharing my experiences with you all as a hunter and outdoorsman.

enjoy the pics lads they arnt the best but it gives you an idea of what its like on this side of the world

its nice country, its summer over here now but in winter its covered in snow, heaps of deer everywhere, I was guiding eight tourists and they were loud but every so often on the track you would here a crash and see a flash of brown as a deer races off. I love it mate to be honest and I spend alot of my time in the bush with my pack and rifle
 
Nice pics. Where abouts were you? I spent quite a bit of time in NZ. Would go back in a heartbeat. The sausages look good too! Lamb?
 
yes lamb sausages, they were great, cant beat a cooked breakfast. we are in fiordland national park the lake in the photos is the western arm of lake manapouri
 
hard to say nate, it would have been about 12 degrees during the day and maybe 8 at night, it was windy as hell but in the late evening the wind changed and it started raining but it warmed up alot without the wind.
 
Great views Stewey. NZ is definitely on my list of places to experience before I die. Thanks for posting.
 
Its a beautiful country mate, if you like hunting,fishing and the outdoors you will love it, it still amazes me everytime I go bush, if any fellow WSS members ever want to come over to this side of the world PM me and I will do my best to help you out
 
One of my makes has been in NZ for the past 3 weeks doing a variety of walking tours. Don't suppose you had a tall bloke, unstoppable fast walker named Paul S on your tour did you?
 
Man, I had the best time over there. It was an extremely beautiful country.
I can honestly say that I would move there in a heartbeat if I could.
You are one lucky man, do not ever forget that.
 
Nice pics! We're in Wgtn, haven't made it to the S. Island yet. Got too many toddlers! Thanks for posting the pics.

I lived in welly for a year, good times in that city, hated the wind tho. the S island is very different to the north, good people and great countryside, definatly worth a look
 
Nice pics Stewey. We are heading there in March for 8 days of wilderness trekking and flyfishing....with a bit of Trad bowhunting mixed in... :D
 
I gotta get there some day, man that looks awesome, thanks for sharing and takin us along. Man, New Zealand, seems like a world away.
