Its hardly hunting in my opinion

Since I do know Southcity and have hunted with him on several occasions I just have a couple of things I'd like to mention.
We have hunted Clements Mill Road, Maungapohatu, Otago and the Southern Alps, no guides on any of these hunts.

Southcity invited one of his work colleagues from overseas on an Otago hunt for Red Stags this time last year. He spent 3 days of the 4 day hunt getting the visitor onto and eventually shooting a very nice stag. Due to this unselfish gesture Southcity ran out of time to search for a big stag and ended up with a much lessor specimen.

My apologies to the OP for derailing the thread.
