Howie Morrison and the team from Hunting Aotearoa visited Glazebrook last week to experience a spring hunt in the Marlborough high country. Superb weather greeted the group who saw Glazebrook at its best. As well as checking out the stunning scenery they enjoyed an awesome day hunting taking a wild boar, fallow, goats and red deer while filming all of the action.
Howie was lucky enough to have a 160 lb boar walk past the lodge before he had his boots on! This set the scene for a really enjoyable day in the field. After filming a range of animals as well as the magnificent surroundings, a yearling red hind was taken for meat late in the evening and this capped off a superb visit.

The radio collared sika stags are certainly creatures of habit! Cam quickly located all 12 collared stags on Sunday. He commented that the consistent use of traditional summer sites is a feature of the recent data. All of the stags monitored in 2009 are back in the same places this year. In fact they are within 100 metres of the locations they were tracked 12 months ago which is staggering!
A newly collared spiker is still living with his mum in a family group of four, although this could well change once this year's fawn hits the deck! All of the animals seen were in great condition as they enjoy the benefits of spring growth.
