[QUOTE="sydhunter, post: 1349040, member: 98916"] I have been fortunate in 2017. The year started with a flight to Christchurch NZ (from Sydney Australia) to hunt Chamois and Red Deer in the South Island of New Zealand, hunting with my brother and a local hunter friend who has a wealth of experience in the mountains. [ATTACH=full]81917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81918[/ATTACH] The South Island did not disappoint, we had sun, rain, sleet but managed to bag a red stag, and three chamois bucks. In May I went again to New Zealand, this time with three friends on a Tahr Ballot to the Adams Range, difficult hunt, with most bulls like the ones below being named Irretrieva-bulls: [ATTACH=full]81919[/ATTACH] We came off the mountain with one bull Tahr, and a near miss on another bull at 200m (the shooter did not see the clump of snow just in front of the bull Tahr). However, we managed to take a beautiful Chamois Buck at another location. I did not fire a shot, but enjoyed being part of the hunt. Late September Sambar Australia Alpine National Park We are fortunate to have six deer species to hunt in Australia, one of the most popular is the sambar deer. I had the opportunity to hunt with my friend from New Zealand for a week in the Alpine National Park. We were too early for the rut, but saw plenty of deer including three mature stags (not yet very big in the antler department), and my friend took an animal for meat. Let's see if I can head down again before the end of the year. [ATTACH=full]81921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81920[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
