A spring hunt.

[@caijager9946]

Nothing better than east coast rivers and bush. Been stuck in Dunedin all year, gotta love hunting down south but man I miss the Te Ureweras. Hope the surgery recovery keeps ticking along well.

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks mate, yep ticking along, some nice bush down south alright, but like you say nothing like the Urutawa's and Uruwera's 👌

[@jackscott2594]

It’s a bummer when you’re in recovery. But the enjoyment of getting back out is so satisfying and rewarding , it’s good to see you again gettback into the good life

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks mate😁 yea really enjoying getting back into it,, just have to cruise on into it.

[@jackscott2594]

@ I had a different injury that stopped me for just on two years but with help from a mate and my wife I was able to get back into building and then hunting and fishing which bought me back to where people like us belong

[@nzmeateater]

@@jackscott2594 Yea its good to have people around to help, I was given some advice from people at the start who had been through this sort of thing which came in handy later on. having patience is a big one. I consider myself lucky compared to some people who are literally f..ked permanently from a similar injury.

[@RoyMcQuinlan-el4ky]

That drone footage was awesome.

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it👍

Hey Simon, thanks again mate, thats awsome 👌, I didnt get a deer on the hunt and didnt really film enough useable footage, So I kept it short n sweet for this one lol. My back is getting better all the time, but just got to be careful, it will never be 100% again, but should get somewhere near it.
