The next day, follow a guide into the mountains, and hunting has been and continues to flourish in this land. It is not only a delicious addition to the table, but also a sport and recreational activity.
Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
When Europeans with hunting traditions landed in New Zealand a long time ago, they found that there were very few mammals and little fun to live here. For more entertainment, some animals were brought in and released into the wild as hunting targets, one of which was sheep.
But I didn't expect the fun back then, but now it's endless. There are currently 1.2 million wild goats active throughout New Zealand, occupying 14% of the country's land area, and the main way to eradicate wild goats is through hunting.
Even more awesome are the hares, these little creatures have no natural predators, and with their super reproductive ability, they can reproduce in unlimited quantities on any hillside with a little vegetation, and now there are more than 100 million of them.
There is also a thing called the possum, which has at least 30 million in number and consumes about 9,000 tons of leaves, berries and fruits from native forests every day. And it also spreads pneumonia among sheep in the pasture, and it will also damage the wires (molars) to cause tripping and power outages, and even eat KIWI birds, which is simply the biggest villain and must be eliminated!
Bring a custom-made shotgun, 308 caliber bullets, and there are dozens of private hunting grounds in the mountains, with a combined area of more than 30,000 hectares. 12 years of hard work, zero accident rate service.
Flying into the mountains in a helicopter, you first encounter a herd of wild sheep, which are very large and strong, and SC Johnson climbs on the shelter point, and with the best Swarovskispottingscope, you can pull it 30 to 70 times closer.
Everyone is still at the bottom of the valley, this group of sheep is on the mountain, because they are all together, it is difficult to hit a fixed one, and the bullet is easy to penetrate and injure other prey, so they can only drive around and climb down the mountain first.
The grass is dense and the mountain is steep so it's not easy to walk, and we come to a ridge with big rocks and the sheep are about 180 meters opposite us. Everyone has a gun mount ready and waits for the right opportunity, all wanting to harvest the biggest prey in between.
Xia Hu was the first to shoot, and a sheep fell to the ground in an instant. Then there was Xia Long, who hit two in a row, and Johnson was not to be outdone, hitting one with a few shots.
SC Johnson is excited to experience the thrill of taking control of his life, this breed is called Arapawa, mostly all black, and the ram horns are large and beautiful. Xia Hu hit an all-black one, and he and Mr. Xia Long hit two white-faced ones.
After walking for a few hundred meters, I climbed over a small ridge and saw five large red deer. The eldest one was very alert and ran away as soon as it spotted us.
Hurriedly continued to climb the mountain to find the trace of the deer, and finally found that the red deer was in a dense forest, more than 400 meters above the mountain. Sneaked a few hundred meters and started to climb the mountain, just over the ridge. Just about 150 meters away from the crowd, the deer immediately began to run up.
Xia Hu was the first to put the gun carriage away, a long distance, about 280 meters, and hit the heart directly, killing with one shot.
The two antlers are very large, with 43 forks, which translates to 530 club SCI points, and everyone is excited.
Take a helicopter and come to a high hunting place, and soon see a large group of rock antelope, at least a dozen, led by a large male rock antelope. The pilot drove the helicopter to chase the prey, and the male antelope separated from the mother antelope because of the helicopter chase and ran to an easy landing site.
Get off the plane, chase the flock, within 100 meters, shoot together, and hit this rock antelope in a short time.
According to club points, the antelope is a high-end game that comes from the alpine regions of Europe. European hunters loved it, so in 1907 the Austrian government captured eight and gave them to New Zealand, where they were kept in the mountains of the South Island until 1930.
Continuing to fly, another prey Tahr sheep likes to live on very high mountain tops, higher and steeper than the antelope's habitat, saw a few herds of female Taal sheep and a few males but not big enough, and finally found a single male Taal sheep.
After landing, move quickly, and there is a large rock 30 meters away, which can be used to put a gun but can only be shot standing up. At a distance of 280 meters, the sheep began to climb up a very steep cliff, and Xia Long hit the first shot, and made up a few more shots to make sure of it.
Put two prey into the plane and fly to the mountains, where there are a lot of wild goats. These things are not valuable, so hunters are needed every year to control the quantity. The best thing to do is to strafe it by helicopter, it's absolutely enjoyable!
SC Johnson fastened two extended seat belts, sat on the open door, and hit it with a shotgun. One shot at a time, that feeling is simply ......
Ninety animals in an hour, I can't take them away at all, and when I return to the hotel, the chef cooks the game into a delicious meal, which has a special taste in my heart.
This is called hunting, watching the prey fall under their own guns, and the most important thing is that it is reasonable and legal, in order to protect the ecological balance, without the slightest sense of guilt.
Drive to the small town of Alexandra, 90 kilometres from Queenstown, where an imposing old bridge pier wrapped in the morning light spans the wide Clutha River. Standing quietly here for more than 100 years, it looks like a gate to the past.
Located in the Mackenzie Basin, Lake Tekapo is surrounded on three sides by the majestic Southern Alps, a pristine water that always presents a deep blue and exudes a serene and noble temperament.
The turquoise waters of the lake and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are a spectacular and charming view. The lakeshore is a close-up view, but it changes with the seasons. In spring, it is full of colorful and gorgeous Lubing flowers, in summer and autumn, it is full of golden grass, and in winter, it is just a snow-white, like a picture frame, adding different embellishments to the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains in the distance, reflecting the eternal and holy nature of this pure land on earth, which is far away from the mortal world.
In the face of such a beautiful scenery, SC Johnson can only describe its beauty and tranquility as a quiet land on earth. The calm, wave-free, crystal-clear surface of the lake reflects the perennial snow-capped Southern Alps, and its tranquility is sought after by more people, just like us.
There is a small stone church next to it, independent of the high place on the lake shore, and there is no obvious difference from the general stone house from a distance, and the appearance of the extremely primitive, simple and rustic appearance is extremely compatible and harmonious in this open lakeside wilderness.
In the evening, the clouds and mist drifting slowly in the snow-capped mountains add a fairyland-like effect to the beautiful lake scenery. A fairy who is naturally beautiful, ice clear and jade, is wearing a soft light veil, riding auspicious clouds, descending from the ethereal fairy world.
I stared at the blue clouds on the surface of the lake for a long time, waiting to catch a glimpse of the fairy's beautiful figure, but I never saw her true face. Despite this, this beautiful and clean dreamscape completely enchanted everyone......
The reason why I waited until night was to see the legendary firefly cave, flying in groups in the night sky, like a river of stars and a long array of lights. How many people can't bear to miss such a dreamy scene?
