Thread: Rakiura

Spent 6 nights on Stewart Island in March. Went to a less popular block on the NW circuit.

All the typical info and approaches that people suggest did us well. Between the 4 of us we saw 8 Whitetail and shot 6.

Coastal. Lower altitude. FFS go slower than you've ever gone and sit, sit, sit and wait. You're not going to stalk them in all that crown fern unless you're a ghost...which is what they are.

One little bugger followed my trail into a know I was sitting and watching. Looked over my sholder and it was 3m away eating some lichen off a tree. Spun slowly and boom. It became dinner.

Another wee thing popped up 2m in front of my while I was sitting admiring the scenery. Fair to say my heart was in my mouth and it got away.

Magic spot, needless to say. Get in there and do your bit to get the herd down. One doe we shot was skinny as.
