BRB & Little Red fly into Boyds airstrip, starting a 4 day Sika hunting adventure in the Kaimanawa, exploring new country while looking for the legendary Charlies airstrip
How many dogs you run i see you have at least a couple, can i ask the breeding, done alot pighunting around nelson but in western Australia now. Love watching your adventures and you give good info really good
That got my blood pumpin. So long since I flew so often with Air Charter Taupo with Graham, Arthur and Christine. The back country down there is one of my favourite places to be. One time I had shot so many deer that we took quite a bit of tea tree back to Taupo from the end of one of the airstrips, probably a teeny bit overloaded.
The same airstrip we flew into into in 1987 with Air Charter Taupo all those years ago.This brings back many memories of my first hunt in NZ.What an experience!!
Awesome hunting trip and great video and footage Gllen, excellent head shot on a nice young stag and great venison for the table too.Thanks team and greetings to you all,, Tony.
Definitely wasn't good in the Ruahine, hence the reason we took the long way round north of the Kaweka’s, was really cool seeing some new area from the birds eye view
Hi from Australia, i really enjoy your videos, thanks for all your effort, fishing wise, try throwing your lure with the current, not really natural coming upstream?, might help, thanks again !
@@BackridgeButcher Hi I’m in Victoria Far East Gippsland, Sambar deer here but still recovering from the Bush fires. Trout will sit in the water head facing upstream, waiting for there food source to come with the current, less effort , look for the white/pale rocks, they will sit on which makes there food stand out as it travels over it, thanks again BRB.
💯 sure you can use spinners mate, we & friends have triple checked the rules that we can find, appreciate your concern though, I don't want to go to jail
No dramas, last time i fished there was back in around 2002, I used to fly in with Christine and then hike down the river and fly camp, similar to what you guys were doing. Green Mepps Veltics work very well in those crystal clear back country rivers. @@BackridgeButcher
Met him at Makahu carpark and he let us stay in the doc rangers hut after we’d come out of Backridge fridge (bivi) in the snow after a Southerly had come through, we’d made the trip up from Motueka and had to wait for our ride from another part of our crew who had gone elsewhere. Top bloke with a great sense of humour alright.
Little reds a bloody lovely good sort m8
BRB time to hunt,great places to explore and learn more about thank you.
It's certainly a neat part of the backcountry
Nice vid , yea miss Taupo Air Charters also Chris X , those fish are hard work in gin clear water ,worms or live bait if allowed would trick em lol
Don't think I was ever going to win this fish battle Ken! Cheers for watching
Nice vid mate, had a bit of a chuckle from the peach reference. Not a bad head shot over 400 yards too, well done
Love your videos be great to see a break down of your Hunters Element gear you wear layers you use and when for, love there gear 👍
What does it cost you for a cost sharing flight? Can you fit 5 people in there??
You pay 1/2 the fuel mate
Bread for trout m8 👍
Seriously? Why do trout like bread? Small pieces of venison I could understand, but bread?
@@BackridgeButcher they just love it little balls rolled up size of marble
Yep great thanks guys , RIP , Air charter , and Chris X ,now way to much to fly in

Lab,GWP, wirehaired vizsla...kind of all crossed together mate

Sounds like you had some awesome trips mate, planes certainly make you feel alive!!

I'm guessing things won't have changed much?
Awesome hunting trip and great video and footage Gllen, excellent head shot on a nice young stag and great venison for the table too.Thanks team and greetings to you all,, Tony.
Thanks Tony, hit the stag about 6 inches down the neck! It looked like a head shot on the video, but I'm not that good a shot lol
@@BackridgeButcher Was a great shot mate, 👍
nice work team BRB looked like an awesome flight in, amazing country and that camera has great zoom
What an awesome trip together. Love the Pup's glassing technique 😂
Hahaha she's slowly learning her craft
To hell with that, there didnt look to be a lot of clear sky between those clouds and those nasty hills when you flew in...

Thanks mate for the kind words and advice, where abouts in aussie are you and what do you get to hunt??

Great vid . Good to see some great flying by the Ice Man Brian
He's super cool under pressure mate, cheers for watching
Try a green Mepps Veltic next time or a tiny Rapala. I thought that river was fly fishing only but?

excellent- bahahahaha "peach of a day" lol
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
great trip ,love that place
Special part of the backcountry, thanks for watching
Met Charlie years ago in the late 80’s and he was a top bloke with a awesome sense of humour
Did you meet him at the Boyd? His sense of humor in his books was amazing
Met him at Makahu carpark and he let us stay in the doc rangers hut after we’d come out of Backridge fridge (bivi) in the snow after a Southerly had come through, we’d made the trip up from Motueka and had to wait for our ride from another part of our crew who had gone elsewhere.
Top bloke with a great sense of humour alright.
Awesome mate, cool little adventure!
Cheers Greg, when are you after Sika next??
@@BackridgeButcher I’d like to do another mission or two soon on foot, then it’s 🚁 into Otutu for our annual roar trip
Shot my first sika stag on Charlie’s old air strip
What year was that?
@@BackridgeButcher it was 2020 didn’t know it was a airstrip till I watched your video haha
@@jadejaslarz8019 Awesome
