If you like rugged scenic views, high cliffs and coastal views combined with adventure and great mates, then you'll love this video.
Just a warning, some wild sheep and pigs do end up dead...

I hope you enjoy.
:-)
Definitely on my bucket list to head over there.
How did you find the track by The Horns. Greasy as a butchers hook last time I was there.
Good Rams btw.
Looks like you had great weather
awesome place cool clip one hunt thats top of my bucket list 👍😎
What an adventure. Well done guys :cool:
The track was all good, pretty much dry all the way out there except in a few boggy areas. I imagine that after rain it’s a different story.Quote:

No shortage of nice rams there

Definitely bucket list material.
Awesome video too.
good watch
Did you dive while there?
I got good crays on snorkel out by the Sports Club.
Never play rugby if invited tho...they are hard.
I can highly recommend a few names if anyone needs contacts
It's a farking great place
Thanks for sharing your hunts
No diving this time. But grabbed some Paua out of knee deep water.Quote:

Was it particularly expensive? Would be nice to go there along with Stewart Island.
Awesome video, those were some very nice Rams you shot. Is it very costly to hunt there ?
Say return flights for $1,000, you can get them cheaper if book in advance.Quote:

Sounds quite reasonable, is that flying from Wellington?
You can fly Auckland Welligton or Christchurch
Depends on day of the week
Great Video (nicely produced), thanks for sharing . . .
Great hunting on the sheep... they seem to absorb the impacts pretty good... what calibres were you shooting them with?
I hear February is a good time to be over in the Chathams with more settled weather.
Yeah the wool seems to soak up the impact a bit. These were all shot with a 7mm08 using a Berger 140 grain projectile. Last time I used my .308 with 130 grain TTSXs.Quote:

We were there in February for the whole month in 2018, wasn’t much wind but there was some rain. Like anywhere you just have to go and take a coat.
You should contact Chris and give him a visit. I’m sure he’d like the professional support and I’m sure he’d be a great tour guide! :-)
February is a good month to go.
Not only as far as weather for hunting but also weather for access as some of the properties with animals on a difficult after wet weather
Pitt crossing can be weather dependent as well
Was an amazing trip Thanks Craig. This has been on my bucket list for many many years. 1 as we have family friends on the island and 2 my mums family landed as German missionaries so we have plenty of relatives over there. In fact the guy we went with was one of those...... the fact that I'm a hunter added to the wish to go and pretty well cemented it.
Awesome memories for sure
Looking to Euro a couple of mine and shoulder mount the bigger one

I guess you rented or borrowed the quads over there rather than ship your own?
Carry on luggage mate, they dont weigh any bags.....lolQuote:

Looked like an awesome trip!
To hunt over in the Chatham Islands you pretty much either need to know some one or use a guide. There’s a couple of guides on the main island and one on Pitt Island.Quote:

For the best all round experience I’d look up Flower Pot Lodge on Pitt Island, hunt, fish and have a look around.
It’s a bucket list place.
