Hunting Fiordland NZ for Red Deer and Paua diving. Remote untouched wilderness (PART 1)

Спорт

Hunting New Zealand for Reed Deer Stag's (Bucks) in Fiordland, Southland, New Zealand. Me and a mate headed deep into Fiordland to hunt for Red Deer in the 'Roar' Period.
In Part 1 we helicopter in Fiordland to dive for Paua, hunt down Red deer, and explore some of the most beautiful remote forest in New Zealand.

    I always find it relaxing somehow that you can just stroll into the bush without worrying about snakes and poisonous plants. Maybe I need to go to NZ for a holiday haha.

    Love the videos from home bro. I have to say though. Watching this one I paused at 11:15 so I could say something about the net. Well said bro, this is Fiordland and our islands in the south pacific, Aotearoa. We are the Kaitiaki (guardians of the place) and it is just a bit heart wrecking to see that huge net. Anyway. I am gonna hit play again and see how many pest species you tag on this trip. Keep up the good work.
