Thread: Phil's South Island Trip

He will have to go back to work, but I may stay on for a few more days. After that I am dead keen to hit the West Coast. I am thinking of heading into the Whataroa and Perth River catchments and spending some time skipping around the huts hunting what I can (if I get a Tahr with PerazziSC3, I'll focus on Chamois and Reds). Would any body be keen to join me on a hunt in there for the weekend (in which case I would probably stay on and walk out later), or even longer? If you'd prefer to hunt one of the other West Coast catchments, I'd be just as keen. I fly back on the 23rd of Feb and other than my plans with PerazziSC3, I am totally flexible, so we could suss out something that works for you.

I'm looking forward to getting out there!

Cheers
