This week Matty is joined by returning guest Tobie Hynes.

Tobie recently went to Stewart Island, New Zealand, to hunt Whitetail Deer in one of the only places in the southern hemisphere where they can be hunted.

Stewart Island is an incredibly popular hunting destination and is booked out 365 days of the year.

Based on Tobie’s stories, you’ll start to understand why.

Podcast topics:

  • The Whitetail deer herd
  • Opportunities through the Hunters Club
  • Logistics of the trip
  • Declare EVERYTHING, and don’t buy a new pack of bullets
  • Don’t get lost — Here’s how
  • Gullies become a trip hazard at night
  • Your best chance at hunting these deer is… 
  • The sea life
  • Policing and fisheries on the island
  • Bringing hope your capes

And much more…
