Is does haha your trip is still ages away it should an will change id think.
Hes going to have to work them lanky legs out to get close to them thats for real

Fantastic photo's. You lot in the South Island all look the same to me.

Excellent report, looks like you guys had mint weather.

Great photo's and some good video footage TM2. Thanks for sharing.

What model Nikon Spotting scope is that in one of the photos? looks nice and compact.

What gods do I need to pray to for that same weather in a couple weeks time? That certainly looked awesome.

Its a EDIII fieldscope. 20-60 x 60. For the cost I reckon they are hard to beat. Really nice glass, and as you say, compact & relatively light. I got it from www.cameralandny.com

Great trip and great report. We were hunting on the block next door to the north and also came out yesterday ahead of the rain.

How did you get on?

Nice work boys, looked like a great trip.

We had a great trip and saw plenty of bulls and nanny's about right through both the upper and lower ends of the block. We shot a 12 1/4" and a 12 1/2 and saw others in the 12 inch class but left them to either grow on or for some other hunters to have the opportunity.
Saw some bulls up in some very high inacessable peaks that wouldnt probably be shootable unless a big snow fall pushes them off the tops.

nice looking country up there

do you guys own anything other than 7mm ?
