Hi , I'm Mike from New Zealand.
I have been reading the site for a few months and just thought I'd post up a few photo's of my last hunt by way of introducing myself.
Its the start of winter here, so thought I'd get in my last meat hunt before snow makes the hunting hard.
The country I was hunting in, tussock mountains of about 5000 feet
Part of a mob of 8 red deer that I encountered.
A nice young Stag for the freezer.
I have enjoyed the site so far, am heading down Tahr hunting in a few days, so hope to be able to contribute a story or two when I get back.

Just one trip to pack him out. I skin and bone out the back legs, take off the back steaks and take as much meat that has not been damaged by the bullet from the shoulders as I can. It makes for a heavy pack but It's mostly down hill.
