[@rogeeproductions2509]

Thanks Tony

[@thomashumphries8531]

Beautiful up there. One of my favourite places. Just got to wait for my surgery and recovery. Watching others do what I can't right now keeps me sane. Thanks Rogee

You’re welcome brother🤙🏽

[@jakefuller9134]

Rodgee I bet you were glad to be back at camp after that massive recovery, the camera never does the steepness any justice. Awesome country to be able to hunt, the fresh air, the crisp water. Can’t wait to get over there one day for a hunt Cheers for another solid video. Also thanks for wearing your ledlenser in the video, reminded me I need to order a new charger for mine for my trip in a few weeks.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

[@VUDU_SQUAD]

Ya Videos always cheer me up my bro! Makes me miss home hard aye, but like you say do the mahi, get the treats. Pretty keen shooter myself, would you be open to talking about more about ya windage corrections and also Grain used with a thought process behind that. Chur bro, much love

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Hey bro, thanks for the support....now wind corrections are a challenge to understand, teach and apply. There are some good videos on this subject on KZbin, to become proficent ypu just have to get out there and practice have a look at these kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZK1oWiFoL2ertU&pp=ygUPZXZlcnlkYXkgc25pcGVy kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorUnpWOfad7qK8&pp=ygUYd2luZCBjb3JyZWN0aW9uIHNob290aW5n

[@VUDU_SQUAD]

@Rogee Productions Kiaora bro, anytime man - appreciate that l, mean - I'll check it out. Also more keen to hear your knowledge on windage shooting a 300 wsm as I'm reading from B- Data it has more flight deviation potential 500+ Compared to a 300 WIN MAG. As always, keen on the next vid. Hopefully the boys Matt and Big O are on too. Mad vibes bro

[@rdsii64]

When ever the hunting season is about to start here in my country, I always stop by your channel for my good luck motivation. I swear I have added hunting in your country to my bucket list. For now I have to dream but one day.....! In the meantime, the deer season is almost upon us again. I will start scouting next month.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Good luck brother...and get your arse over her for a hunt!!

[@hankbraff1135]

Great vid Rogee, the South Island has to have some of the most beautiful country to hunt, some great shooting with good friends makes the success's even more enjoyable. The river crossing looked painful indeed, gotta keep the family jewels tucked up, warm and dry, a great adventure shared, friendships bonded for life, what more could you ask for on a great trip like that. Rob Herbert as generous as always that knife will be treasured I'm sure, thanks for taking us along, very enjoyable video.

Great edit 👌 Nothing wrong with a prayer before heading into that country 🙏 Ya did far better then Pete and I when we went into that exact valley a few years back. Ha, We only managed to shoot rocks 🤦‍♂️( Missed) Alot learned on that trip that's for sure. But yea, awesome bro awesome 🤙

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Thanks JT, yeah I finally got a South Island trip that ticked all the right boxes🤙🏽...appreciate you feedback brother👌🏽

[@dkcorderoyximenez3382]

As you know, I've followed you for years...this mission was by far my favorite... Matt was right...shooting uphill is a very difficult task...it's like shooting a mortar and one loses sight of the vapor trail temporarily due to the white sky effect... All in all, I am still amazed at everyone's ability to place those WSM rounds on target for truly ethical harvests... One day, Rogee, (not Roger😅) I plan on becoming 25 years younger...then maybe, just maybe I'll get a chance to observe your adventures with my naked eyes... Cheers to Matty, Matt and Big O...you are big stars in this old man's universe...🙏

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother, yeah way better results compare to my previous adventures down south 👌🏽

[@rumpyNZ]

Awesome watch brothers, the reason there's a lot more animals on the northern side is because no one wants to cross that freezing river. Love your work, keep em coming team.

As always Rogee a great vid, the open South Island valleys are expansive and definitely different to the NI hills. Pleased your eye ball came right and nothing beats those Farlie Pies!

Mother nature has a habit of reminding you who the boss is, but then also gives you days that show how beautiful and stunning the environment is. Great views and another great post with real time learning. Just curious did you keep the skin on this hunt and what does your pack weigh with and without meat?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Yeah bro I kept the skin, pack weight is around 18kg

Absolutely brilliant film, unlike Mr Randy Newberg you didn't make the same mistake twice! On steep angles I shoot low, learnt the hard way for me! A film on angles would be really beneficial to people like me, you are the experts, great shooting! BTW, we have a tradition, when you give a knife as a gift (I dabble in knife making) the recipient needs to give you a silver coin (or near as damn it) otherwise the knife cuts the friendship, I know, I know, bollocks right?! Just get a coin off him lol!
