    One of your best vids boys, extended format is a winner. That country was the real star, the Elk were a bonus, didn't even know you Kiwis had imported them. Pity the meat appeared to go to waste. Maybe youse should also import some Grizz as well, they'd thrive there and give youse something else to hunt and hunt you back Ha ha.

    Happy new year! We carry what we can but sometimes on these bigger hunts we do have to leave some behind. In NZ we have wapiti, reds, sika, fallow, rusa, samba and white tail that I can think of off the top of my head. I may have missed one though

    Venison seems to keep reasonably well for a few days especially if the nights are cooler and you can keep them in the shade during the day. Flies are a bigger problem. We usually cool it down overnight then put it in a bag for the rest of the trip unless there is a meat safe we can hang it
