Thanks for the pm
I’ve replied but as it was my first one I’m sure if it’s been sent

Haha, Long Harry is long dead. His story is included in the chapter on this block in my book “Chasing Whitetail Bucks - Stewart Island Hunting Magic”. Message me for a copy.

Stewart island white tail - Any opinions on the most suitable rifle caliber?

I'm going in November, mainly interested in ocean activity's, and will probably take a 223

Any calibre will suffice so long as the boolit hits its intended target. Most shots will be close, like real close! 223 will be fine, just make sure you hit what you want to hit.
