In May 2024 I was able to spend nearly 3 weeks in New Zealand chasing Tahr and Chamois on my own. This is from my first hunt which was up the Copland River on the west coast. The recordings are done in the field and after the hunt so the audio is reflective of my surroundings. Spoiler alert - I didn't get any animals on the ground but I did see a couple of beautiful Tahr bulls. I wanted to be able to pass on my learnings along the way to help you get over to NZ for a backcountry hunt as this was an absolutely amazing experience. Feel free to ask me any questions you want. I would also ask you to support the 2024 podcast partners; Skeleton Optics - @skeletonoptics_au ⁠⁠⁠www.skeletonoptics.com.au⁠⁠⁠ On Track Meals - @on_track_meals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ontrackmeals.com⁠⁠⁠ Anyone with ideas for future episodes, or just a chat around backcountry/backpack hunting  - please feel free to reach out.  Insta: @australian_hunting_backcountry E: [email protected] Thanks for listening - look after yourselves and your mates.
