In this I Am Hunter podcast, we chat to hunting guide and sheep farmer Brad Berry and Australian hunter Hayden Hanratty, a dairy farmer from Victoria about hunting in New Zealand during The Roar.
What did we chat about?
We look at both sides of a hunting trip, from what the hunting guide is trying to achieve for the client, to what a client is looking for when booking a hunting trip. Brad also describes what went through his mind as a hunting guide when Hayden passed up a big fallow buck to take a free range red deer (not that Rod was too upset, as he bagged the monster fallow himself a few days later).
We also talk about the amazing experience it is hunting in New Zealand. We travel there every year to hunt, and particularly love hunting in New Zealand during the Roar. That’s when the hills come to life with the sounds of big red deer roaring to attract female attention during the rut. There’s no other experience quite like it. If you would like to see what it’s like, check out Episode 2 of I Am Hunter, where Jess hunts a red stag during the Roar.
