Sitting there all frozen on a mountain side thinking "Why do we love this alpine hunting?". It's Type 2 fun.
Tussock, snow and cold feet.
Snow on the tops. Flying to Christchurch for a work meeting then heading to the Alps for a looksee in a tahr ballot block.
Kea. None at Mount Cook last week. I wonder if there will be any on the West Coast given the huge quantity of poison in both areas this autumn.
Golden tussock faces and cloud.
Chamois rut. Bit of action.
The new chamois grip cap brings luck yet again.
More alpine views at Mt Cook. Glacier, peaks, and a few tahr in the space between, but not that many. Big and beautiful country.
Just spent a fun week here hunting the Alps with @nzdeerstalkersassociation crew.
First time I've seen this epic statue - monument to New Zealand’s tahr herd. Epic! I'm here with the @nzdeerstalkersassociation
The first big use and test of my day pack and it passed. The expanded meat shelf fits a full body cape of a tahr. Heavy and durable but reliable and very functional, just like my faithful rifle setup.
Epic mane on the bull tahr for early rut so decided to do a full body cape.
