The topography and foliage have been very highly varied and expansive...truly very impressive. There have been times we feel that we are driving through Alaska, Colorado, Southern Wisconsin, Hawaii, etc., etc.!!

I don't know the truly accurate answer to your question regarding predation/predators here. Since it isn't a hunting trip for me, I intentionally didn't research the hunting reg's, hunting history, etc.
(I will when I get home ).

No natural predators in NZ other than falcons, hawks., only two native mammals both small bats.
Introduced dogs, cats, weasels, stoats wreak havoc on birds,skinks etc.

In the name of all things holy, for God’s sake, bring a fly rod next time!

That's funny TB...you already know I love fishing with a fly rod.

This was a trip that my wife planned and I supported her preferences...she always supports my hunting and floating/fishing adventures every year. Her planning gave us a vast and varied sample of the country, and I tried my best not to whine or rubber-neck each river we crossed .

We are already talking about going back, and she told me to bring my fly rods next time .

I am fond of unique-looking trees.
This guy is particularly resilient.

Last day of the season in the goose blind. Always a sad day when it comes.
