Dear Friends,Well for all you hunters out there here is a picture from a 394 point Elk. My pal Chris works for New Zealand Mountain Hunting Limited in Omarama, New Zealand. So with that said he and I have been out with clients and by ourselves and this is what we came up with. Not only the fishing but the hunting is world class. Crazy and amazing. I must admit that I am not a fisherman but the Brown trout are as big as your forearm (simalar to the Mongolian Artic Char). Well Chris works at a lodge that is top class all the way around. Heaven for most. Anyway, it’s been amazing. Went skydiving for my Birthday. Great experience. Went Tahr and Chamoi hunting. More pictures to send later. Wow, when Elk and Stag make there call it’s intense. I am now hooked.
So it’s all down hill from here.
Be well and bless.

Friends,
Finally made time to get a picture on the web. This picture was taken on the West Coast of New Zealand near Haarst (they are filming Witches and Warlocks here). My Pal Marcus the Kiwi (he and I work together in the Bush of Alaska) has shown me an awesome time. We went fishing for Blue Cod and Whatever else we caught. Well because I am alittle goofy, I didnt catch one Blue Cod until I caught 4 Sharks!! The first was a Dog Shark, then two very big “7 Gill Sharks” and one slant eyed yellow shark know as a “china men shark”. The picture is of the largest Shark it was about 9 ft in length. Great time.
I have been mainly Hunting with Marcus via Helicopter (no we dont shot them from the heli) and fishing from his Jet Boat on several different rivers. He lives in Wanaka. IT’s been great. Hung out yesterday with a Sheep Farmer and his dogs. It’s wild to see his Dog work over one thousand head of Sheep. I am off to Queenstown to work with some horses.
I hope you’re well.
Talk to you soon,
Mike
