Perhaps Rusa, Sambar, and Fallow aren't their thing.
Their passion shows in what they produce now. Let them decide what they do. If you don't like it don't watch it.

I image you'd be the first to complain if they went to "your spot" and shot some fallow.

no they could shoot 10 fallow from some of the spots I hunt and not even dent the population - but trophy potential is simply not there - I still think though it would be good to see some more of what the North Island has to offer showcased - and I do like the show

It's great they are showing a range of hunting styles. I enjoy watching Luke charge around after piggies. Don't tune in for the duck episode, just not that interesting for mine, but will be for others, and they need to cater for the wider hunting market.

I remember they did do a Kaimai episode, but didn't see stuff all for 4-5 days in there - good luck getting a trophy stag there with a limited time frame. I wonder if there is a bit of pressure to find representative animals, and that's pretty tough particularly around the time it might take for Sambar and Rusa (access an issue?). Love that they get into the Caples and target Fallow, that's pretty cool

yes agree rusa and sambar would be a challenge to make a show from but in saying that some of the sambar country up Turakina way is spot and stalk and is not overly hard to see sambar- trophys are rare though - the few trips I have done one sees mainly young stags and hinds - they are more common than one is lead to believe but access is damn hard - jealous of the fallow down south - they are moose compared to what we have - agree duck shooting from a maimai is not my cup of tea but the oppourtunitys I have had to get out on pheasants with a good dog now that is the sport of kings
