Can you hunt in public National Park ?

Yes, depending on where in Australia or New Zealand you are. Victoria in particular has some amazing public hunting access into national parks and state forests. A great way to spend time in the wilderness pursuing these wild animals, as an amazing food source

Hi Jamie, hope all is doing well and awesome job on supporting your mates/family. Just wondering if you have any experience transporting trophies from NZ to Aus? A few mates and myself have been lucky enough to score a Haast roar block in the upcoming roar and we've all been doing a little research on the logistics of everything. In case we manage to get a head, we thought we should probably research the laws and regs. We have found the permits and that, but the process or best way to bring them over isn't as obvious. We're all pretty happy with just a euro mount style to make it easier. Would love to know if you have any ideas? Cheers, Jacob
@MountainMan_NZ8 ай бұрын
Hey Jacob, will you be travelling through queenstown? Suggest contacting the local taxidermist who will be able to look after all that for you. There's forms and declarations to fill in to verify its not a native species and it will need to be cleaned and treated properly so quarantine doesn't reject it lol Best contact Is David Jacobs owner of The Taxidermist in queenstown. He's a legend. Or high country taxidermist in Christchurch

Great property to have access to there bro, fun day. Try mount your gopro on your shoulder on the backpack strap, that's where i have mine, gets a better view when taking a shot and is very steady. I used to put mine on my cap but i think having it on your head allows for the deer to see your movement even more. The old session gopros and the mini are the go set to linear. Anyway good vid brother and great day out. 👍

@MountainMan_NZ9 ай бұрын
Cheers Duncan, so close but yet so far!! It was a tricky approach, and I had time against me with the falling thermals around 430pm'ish. I wish I had been a bit more aggressive and followed the stag down below the clearing (after it smashed its antlers into the other stag), perhaps they wouldn't have noticed me. Ah hindsight aye ahahaha! I love it though, an animal dead would be icing on the cake for sure; that encounter was still awesome
