Experience the entire New Zealand self guided backcountry expedition in one continuous, epic hunting film. A seamless 9-day journey—full of raw, unbroken New Zealand wilderness deer, goat, pig & chamois hunting adventures.
The team touches down in the South Island of New Zealand for a self-guided trip across public peaks and private leases. Flying into remote country with the team at Helicopters Nelson, we tackle new terrain, steep climbs, unpredictable weather, and the steep learning curve of hunting the NZ bush. From living out of a repurposed water tank in the Gosling Valley, harvesting multiple stags, bucks & goats to scaling 2,000-meter knife-edge ridges searching for Chamois in Misery Valley, this is the full story—day by day, minute by minute. If you love New Zealand hunting adventures this is the video for you.
