I assume this was camping on the flanks of Faerie Queene. :D

There are no concessions to land in the Nelson Lakes NP.

This is an fantastic initiative. Hunters get to hunt, the Heli operators get business and DoC get the deer/chamois numbers reduced. WIN/WIN/WIN.

Cheers Ed, great to see the kids out there.

Awesome guys. I am loving it.

Big cheers to you VC. You got our party together and organized. Big cheers to Roktoy who took on the admin and finishing touches as VC set sail.

Without you both this adventure would never have happened. Thank you!

Faerie Queene got the treatment by the first party...I suspect that's were the solid 10 came from along with a number of hinds taken.

A bloke from the first party said to us not to bother with that area ..so given that and the way the remaining animals reacted to a gun shot ..I'm picking the folks from the first party did their duty and shot what the could.

Cool pics , great to see the kids in on the adventure, they will learn more there than at home or in front of a computer screen.

That last photo should be used as a base for a painting, or printed off in black and white and hung in a man shed. What a epic example of generations on the hill, simply priceless

That was awesome guys...great country and best read had in along time. Cant believe they wasnt more animals on show in that great country.
Maybe you needed a bush stalking ninja to find them lol.
Cool report and photos....was there next to no roaring?

Haha that is classic, I actually thought of you twice on this trip and the first time was exactly this.....

The second time was when negotiating a section of track with multiple bog holes in it.

I remembered your story from a year or two back and as I was heavily laden at the time I thought if i went in one I may never be seen again.

This had me prodding at them with my walking poles and treating them with the upmost respect [emoji106]

Personally I never heard a stag roar !!
