Wow! That means a lot. So many hours went into this film and it might not be the most seamless showcase ever, but it’s a fitting one we think. The work to cement the memories is well worth it. Thanks heaps for your comment, and glad you enjoyed it!

I totally agree, the country is huge, certainly makes you feel small. That was something I struggled with the most when filming was trying to capture the size and vastness of the land. All the more reason for people to try it themselves!

Thanks heaps mate. Enjoy every aspect of it. Cheers for watching.

Thanks mate! Cheers for watching. Will be more to come, just gotta get out there!!!

Thanks mate!! Cheers for watching.

Wow! Cheers Nick! Glad we could give you an insight into it again. You get to know those hills pretty well after spending 10 days in them eh! Ha.

Thanks man, had a blast throwing it together. Fingers crossed for another block eh!

Thanks for watching, its so cool that it brings back memories for you too, it was something I had the pleasure of when editing this, remembering all the small parts that slip your mind.

Awesome James, I think that’s one of the coolest parts of putting films on KZfaq of our hunts, a bit of a memory bank not only for us, but for those who have hunted the same areas too. Appreciate the watch mate. Cheers!

Our pleasure!

Thanks Grant! An amazing experience regardless of whether an animal hits the deck or not! Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro! Better late than never hay! Cheers for watching mate.

More to come for sure! Keep your eyes peeled! Thanks for watching.

Cheers Scott!

Thanks, Jason! An unreal piece of the world we have down there eh. Cheers for watching!

Thanks Rob! Cheers for watching!

Cheers mate! Glad you’ve enjoyed! Appreciate the kind words. They’re absolute workhorses mate… a slow Buschl still has more ticker than most folk. Built different 😂

@@chasingpeaks true that . . . loved that response . . . "a slow Buschl still has more ticker than most." Having taken Si for his first trip into Fiordland and the Wap blocks I quickly learnt that lesson!

Thank you!! A real special place eh. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching mate.

Very lucky mate... Never will I make that mistake again.. lol - Kieran

Hi Sudz Stalk, Thanks for the Sub. We wish you all the best in the Wild Natives! You will have a blast and an unforgettable experience regardless of weather!

Pleasure mate! Thanks for watching.

Cheers big fella!!!

Thanks mate!!! Cheers for watching bro ❤️

Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks, mate.

Hi Severlan, The weight of DSLR gear takes its toll for sure. Always thinking about and considering other options. You’re not wrong. Some parties will shoot these bulls but they certainly get an extra chance at surviving if we don’t shoot them. Consider the possibility we will bump into one of them again in the future. Better way of thinking than taking home one of these younger bulls. 8+ yr olds 👍

Cheers mate!! Appreciate it!

Cheers mate!

Seems to be the only explanation eh, pretty brutal out there. Those hills don't discriminate! Antlers were basically floating, skull badly damaged.

Appreciate it!!

Couldn't agree more mate. Quality not quantity!

Cheers Julian, Trout is great. Especially from such clean clear waters. Be good to see if Alby becomes something in the future himself. Certainly a recognizable coat on him.

Bro his great grn pap wasent a moose. But yer they were there. My great greastest grandpap was a fish ive been told. Haha we all like a drink no dought. Cheers

Hey Seshins, Cheers for the Sub! Hopefully more content to come.

Cheers!!

Cheers mate! Appreciate it! It wasn’t too bad, only about a 15 min walk. It was a well cut track too. Certainly worth a look if you don’t want to fork out for a heli ride.

❤️

Hi Stewart, no conclusion. A young bull fallen to his death and possibly picked apart by scavenging birds.

Thanks mate!!

Hi Blake, We have a very different herd of Wapiti. It is safe to say none are of Pure wapiti strain, anymore. They are hybrids. Thankfully with a very selective management programme the FWF (Fiordland wapiti foundation) have successfully got some Bulls testing in the 70%+ wapiti vs Red deer genetics. Only in the last 10 years has it become very evident the wapiti genetics are still strong with a lot of wapiti characteristics in body and antler.

Meat pies are the bomb! 🙌

Yeah, no good.... Lesson learnt... lol.

Thanks mate! More to it than just an animal on the deck!!

😂😂

Hey Mark! We certainly didn’t set out to bullshit anyone - it’s a shame you feel that way. We just wanted to show people our experience of Fiordland and try to capture the animals we saw the best we could. Unfortunately that is the nature of the Wapiti herd in Fiordland these days, a lot of cross breading with reds, and hopefully with the management of the area, over time we will see better quality of animals with the limited Wapiti genes we have left in the country. Hopefully we see a shooter next time! Cheers.

Sorry Mark, but your ignorance is showing, regarding Fiordland Wapiti… They are Wapiti with varying degrees of Red genes aswell. Stick to your farm hunts 👍

You simply don't get it Mark...... The rugged terrain, the animals, the history, the weather and the challenge of the whole experience is what draws gutsy hunters like the chasing peaks NZ team to this majestic hunting location. You keep your Wapiti on the farm Mark - leave the Bulls of Fiordland to the real hunters!! Top effort Chasing Peaks NZ !!
