I discussed the day’s events with him having
seen 4 deer on the way in. The next morning we
again had a glass from near the hut over a hot
chocolate or two. Darren picked up two deer but
they spotted us on the approach and they were
soon swallowed up by the bush. We climbed to
the tops and let the binos do the walking for the
rest of the day but nothing else was seen so we

I’ve continued exploring the hills of the South
Island in the following weeks, finding some
very handy spots and some places that require
a tad more effort but it’s all worth it. The
opportunities are endless with good hunting at
the throw of a dart on a map. Till next time.
