  • Tasman went for a nice week long tahr hunt in Canterbury early June, hitting some proper cold mornings and bluebird days. A bit of poor shooting, close stalking and rutting action topped off with some succulent feasting.
    Cheers for watching! Stay tuned for part 2 😁

    You never fail to amaze me, Tasman, on how much ingredients you pack to prepare your meals. I enjoy watching your cookups as much as your hunts. Thankyou!

    Mate if I walked into that hut and saw you cooking up a "michelin star" meal in the middle of the Southern Alps I would crack up! Nobody does Kai time better than you! haha

    Cool footage there Tasman, I would hope you take some long pants ,etc on your hunts, I got hypothermia once in winter with the shorts on hunting, didnt realise I had it untill back at hut later,,,took 2 days to recover.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад +1

      Thanks Fred 😁. That's actually a really good reminder, I'll pack something long just in case now👍. I tend to just wrap up super warm on the top half and the bottom half is all good, but definitely a good idea to have something if the weather or leg status changes... cheers mate

    I like how you kept in the embarrassing shots, I have made a few including my last time which was 2misses in a row with 2 mates standing right beside me. Life is a learning exercise and those are the lessons. From my shots I learnt, no matter what is going on find the best rest you can to shoot from. Easy shots are the easiest to screw up.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад +1

      Haha happens from time to time 😂 yeah that should've been a pretty easy shot whoops. But but there's nothing worse than wounding an animal so we got off lucky there!

    A bit disappointed to see you in boots and not your normal Jandals! As always, a pleasure to watch your videos, your animal photography is getting better and better.
    You could give the Duleys a cooking lesson or two, get them away from those abominable freeze dry things 🙂

    Oh yeah, that settles it, Andrews Stream this weekend it is. I really enjoyed seeing your full vlog style complete with pack content breakdown. Its all the detail I love to live through while watching. You are like a virtual friend to help me prepare myself for my next journey. I only just discovered your channel, it was actually recommended by another youtuber during his video. I was not disappointed! I really enjoyed your approach to stalking combined with photography. I cant quite picture where you are, it it up the Crow river top of the Waimakariri? Ignore this question if you want to keep it a little secret. CHeers for a quality production, Heath. PS I nearly fell over when you started making your own sausages, on trip! well done.

      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад

      Wow thanks so much for your comment! Very much appreciated 😊. That's nice of that youtuber :). Lovely to hear such positive feedback 😁. This spot is closer to the Rangitata, good numbers of tahr rund there for sure. Those sausages sure were succulent 🤣 Cheers for watching!

    Hi Tasman great videos.good to see you only take what you need,and not over hunt for just for the sake of trophy hunting. Very nice views from the mountain top.

    This was a good one. Do you seek out those prickly bush things! What a lucky brother. I hope to see the other ¾ of that pie in the second video, unless, that modest slice you cut was just for the camera and reality was that it was eaten entirely that night! Amazing scenery, fantastic weather and incredible backpack MacGyver skills. The coats on those Tahr were amazing. And what’s up with that Tahr dude and that tongue action? That was a good call not shooting the ones that would have ended up in the river, and then very kind of you to send out a warning shot, but then OMG, you were very goal focused (and ibex like) skipping alone those stones to take that shot. It looked dodgy, even for a professional. Any news on Arved’s return - maybe he is waiting for summer before returning? How could it be those intestines looked so gross, but the sausages so good. Culinary show off. It’s nice that you cook enough food for your whole crew. Tasman code - hut day = food day. Whole video was epic. Loved it.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Год назад

      Unfortunately the matagouri is all too often quite unavoidable, nasty stuff 😂. Hahaha the pie lasted one more night, too good to keep! The tahr dude was "tasting" the air to see if the nanny was ready for a root as far as I'm aware 😂 first time I'd seen it in person. I think the camera made it seem steeper than it was! Didn't seem too dodgy at the time anyway 😂.
      No news on Arveds return, however he's sounding pretty keen on getting into the old freediving over in Ireland, so here's hoping he gets stuck in and we get treated to some nz Irish adventures finally 😆.
      Yeah the intestines were yuck but it all scrapes off so all good, thinking maybe I should buy some casings for next time as it took a wee while 👀. It was a really fun trip, thanks Paul 😊
