I think it's a testament to the show that it's great to watch even if nothing is shot. I usually watch with my 85-year old mother (I stay a few nights a week to help her out) and she really likes the programme. Even she had a giggle at the Kaimanawa episode with the "problem" of the trout being too big....
She said to me one night "They are very patient, that's why they get those big deer!" I think it was during the episode last season where you shot the big red after waiting for about a day and a half for it to reappear. What she (and I) noticed was the other couple of hunters that happened to be in the same gully left after an hour or so. You waited and shot it just on dark a day later....
The programme is a must watch for me; and I can really understand how people say it's the first hunting programme that hunter's wives and partners are also enjoying too...
I winced last night when you said "and ONLY 12-kms for the last leg"......![]()
