Your big boy is still kicking

Mate, I'd love to get hold of a short snippet of that footage to post a quick update on our Facebook page, still by far the most talked about moment in our series. Can send you out a few sponsors goodies to say thanks if you're keen?

Also, I understand that the Duley's went in over 2nd period following you guys, so he may well have hit the deck by now...

No willy was filming a crew in the upper 1st period talked to him on the beach

Hi yes there is an open block system in place out side the Ballot period see NZ Dept of Conservation web site and Fiordland Wapiti foundation web for closed period, I think next year they are going to close it from December on after the debarkel we had in there this January.Water Taxi see Fiordland outdoor co.Beware of severe weather condition in winter for fiordlandIf you know where your heading contact me for routes etc.

taierileckie fantastic thanks for the feedback. Yes, certainly makes sense to close the block for the lead up to the ballot, that would make the hunting much better in the rut, if hunters hadn't been in there for a few months! Thanks for the water taxi info!

Thanks for that Tony I just hope these bulls all survive a few more years to all show there potential. Now that the annual bugle hunt is over these young bulls will be safe for another year, not like a lot of the heads I see coming out this year, despite the effort of the FWF to educate people.

Thanks Laurie was good talking to your team on the beach was the hut busy that night we should have stayed.

Laurie Cain very quiet no one came in till about 8:30 am the next morning as we were leaving passed them on the way to the narrows
