Respecting the animal and the elements. Hunting in remote New Zealand means making tough calls. After Jordi took a late-light shot on a Fallow buck in a difficult river-front location, the team makes the ethical decision to wait for first light to ensure a safe recovery.

This episode highlights the reality of backcountry life—from the patience required for a difficult recovery to the simple necessity of washing clothes in a freezing river. But the mission doesn’t stop. As the sun begins to set, the pressure is on for Jordi to make it happen on a Red stag in the fading light.
