Hi guys, I've been watching your videos for a while now and have only just seen this one! It has to be by far the best one I've seen, thank you so much 🙂. I started shooting 63 years ago at 7yrs old with air rifles, shotguns at 14. I only started hunting with rifles two years ago and they were black powder ones back then. I bought my first centre fire only three years ago, I feel such a fool now, as I wish I'd started earlier. Now I'm stuggling to find good places I can walk into as these 70 year old legs can't do the distance they used to. So, looking for DOC blocks or private areas I can quad into is now high on my list. But videos like this inspire me to carry on, thanks again guys.

Can't beat Blue Cod when it's fresh.

Paradise , you are not wrong there .

Heading to Masons Bay for five days soon , and i can not wait . These vids are great boys keep it up !. Great content ,makes my evenings in bearable .

The nature is really good👍👍👍

You guys have aced it again, in the most magical place in NZ That was an awesome video for so many reasons, no wonder Stewart Island is so addictive Also one of the few places you can hunt, fish, and dive, and actually put on weight over the time you spend there

Great edit guys. Good job

Well done team look like a bloody sweet trip

Awesome video, stunning scenery, love the drone footage - incredible! Lived on the Island about 42 years ago and remember the horrendous crossings on the old Foveaux ferry, big diesel generators, the coal range and Butterfields Beach where I use to play across from our house at Halfmoon Bay. Cheers guys!

Without a doubt, getting plans in place already 👌

My mate and I lived in our fly-camp on this very beach for two weeks of very bad weather during April 1980. Like you guys, we speared fish on the reef (terakihi), caught fish on hand lines from the rocks, and gathered paua . I shot the only whitetail for the trip during a rare sunny spell one afternoon, while bush-hunting on Garden Point. I had my poison gear there and managed to collect about 20 possum skins. No hut there in those days. Great living on fish, venison, and paua every day. Superb photography guys, especially the underwater shots. Well done.

Epic, it could do with some more possum control we saw a few about! Cheers

The backstraps on whitetails is magical. What's even better is the psoas muscle up against the spine in abdominal cavity. It's small, unless you kill a very big deer, but it's worth saving.

Great shot deer on the beach. Years ago we ran down a wild sheep in the Ruggedy Flats that hadn't been shorn in years and cooked it up. It seemed a huge waste to leave the fleece behind.
