    Excellent vid! Looks like great country.. I've got a little Sony shortwave radio (SW7600GR) and I pick up NZ on the 19 meter band (15720KHZ) quite often.. And I'm in Ohio! Would love to visit someday..

    Got any Chukar? Pheasant? How about huns or quail? If so, I think I just found paradise...

    We have Chukar (there's one in the video!), Pheasant and Californian Quail.

    There are seasons on gamebirds though.

    HA! Went back and rewatched it....sure enough I missed the chukar sighting the first time. Must've stepped away from the computer.


    NZ seems like a good place to live as a hunter, I'm jealous!

    Nothing poisonous except one species of very rare spider. It's nice and safe. Bring some bears over if you come, I want those.
    How do you feel about wild boar? Almost as dangerous and twice as tasty. I got a mess load of them, for trade on a "all expense paid trip".

    It looks like the suppressor helped keep the animals around for follow up shots!

    We've got wild pigs already, can always use some new genetics I suppose. It's a deal if you throw in some Bobcats or Coyotes.
