The hunting was great. Helped the hosts by removing 2 goats from their property. The storm couple of years ago has been really hard on them. Stunning land, great to walk but really tough to farm. Could have easily removed a dozen goats or more but they have policy to use any animal properly so 2 was enough meat for us. Didn't go hunt the steep bush as had friend's 9yr son with me on both hunts. He loved it and wanted a goat head. Future hunter I think :-)
The fishing was good too. The maximum accumulation limit of 2 days catch (2 blue cod per fisher per day so take home max 4 whole fish) did impact how much we could bring home for freezer but that just meant we ate well most days. Seemed like fishery is doing ok as for every legal >33cm caught we returned at least 5 undersize blueys. Most kept were 35-39cm however I did get a 55cm blue cod. Rare they're that size in sounds area :-)
