Whitewater Wapiti Bugle 2021 Ballot Period 2 | Fiordland Hunting New Zealand
Спорт
We got invited along to hunt the second period of the Wapiti blocks in Fiordland for the 2021 bugle. We had a lucky run with the weather and found ourselves amongst plenty of Wapiti bulls and red/hybrid stags during the peak of the bugle/roar (they were bloody going off!). There's heaps of hunting action in this one, we hope you enjoy the video!
Massive shout out to Scott for the invite, it was a pleasure hunting with you mate. We also want to thank the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation for their continued efforts to maintain and enhance the wapiti herd we are lucky enough to have here in New Zealand.
If you enjoy the video and like watching New Zealand backcountry hunts we'd love for you to subscribe- we get out on plenty of trips and enjoy creating these videos for you all to enjoy. If you're after more of our content head over to our social media accounts (linked below) and give us a follow.

A bloody good trophy head in the end. Talk about exciting Stalking. Those Wapiti roars are spine tingling even on vid.

Cheers for the comments mate! Bloody glad it's nearly that time of year again, gutted we won't be stalking waps but it will be good to get after some reds!
I give you guys 100% for the animals you have. The maintains you have, The effort you expend whilst hunting. The choice of animals you can shoot but don't. Your country is so beautiful.

Thanks Bill we appreciate your kind words! Being conservative really goes a long way here, especially in the wapiti blocks!
From the flat prairies of Southern Manitoba Canada, the terrain you guys have out there is so rugged and gnarly in comparison! The fact that you guys could capture so much amazing footage and kill a great stag like that is truly impressive!!

Thanks Shane! Fiordland is one hell of a place, it feels like another world when you're down there
Great effort guys and a just reward for the had yards you each put in. I’m now 75 and my best hills are behind me but you fellas took me up every gut and across all the creeks and rivers to get your bull, thank for sharing and producing a really great vid, including the hunts, mud and good tucker you shares with us in lockdown. Thanks, stay safe., Rex

Nice stage perfect eating size and beautiful animals. Nothing like mother nature. Real tips make it super cool you never want to leave the environment
What absolute magic. Fiordland is spectacular, but Fiordland hunting with you lads takes it to a whole new level. I’m Sure there are a lot of jealous hunters who would pay a PREMIUM for that experience.

Fantastic memory boys they will bind you as mates forever.
What a trip you guys had ! Enjoyed watching it with the video and edit quality of a high standard.
That was an awesome video, a fantastic hunt and a lesson to many of an ethical attitude to stalking. It was also educational as it truly showed what a temperature rainforest really looks like and showcased the beauty and magnificence of Fjordland. I am sure that this is a video that you will enjoy showing to your grand children. Oh you lucky fellows.
