In this video we explore into the Mount Tanilba Wapiti ballot block hunting the ellusive Wapiti Bull. The trip takes place over the first period (20/03/20 - 29/03/20), you might recognize those dates as being the start of the Corona Virus lockdown in New Zealand. Watch along as we battle against tough weather conditions, steep country, thick bush and impending time restraints as our country entered a level 4 lockdown! Despite all of that, we still had a bloody good time and saw some incredible country. Make sure to like the video and subscribe to our channel for more New Zealand backcountry hunts!

Covid has a lot to answer for. I did manage here in the a week in the red rut but as I dint eat the meat of rutting stags and there is little chance of selling the meat due to covid I just sat watched and listened. even after nearly fifty years of stalking the sound of a stag roaring still sends little tingles down my spine. Great video and photography keep it up.

Hunting a roaring animal in the bush is second to none in my opinion, stops you in your tracks everytime! Cheers John

Great vid fellas!! You guys were there last year too, back to back in the same block, lucky eh 👍 Me and the boys were supposed to be in Mt Tanilba for the 3rd period, but Covid cancelled that plan.... Ah well there’s always next year 👍

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Shame about the circumstances but that's the way it goes sometimes I guess. Cheers.

Yeah it was a bit of a shame but bloody lucky to of had the chance for a trip before the lockdown! Can't complain about a shortened hunt when compared to everything else going on. Cheers for the comments
