Thread: Into the Ruahines

I’ve just got back from a Hutt Valley Deerstalkers trip into the Ruahines, the purpose of the trip was to show that recreational hunters can contribute to game management in high population areas. Me and my mate saw over 50 deer in the time we were in the hills, we managed to knock ten over and do our bit for game management.

I’ve put together a video of the trip.
