This is a video I filmed and put together for Gary Herbert's Hunting New Zealand. If you are coming to New Zealand and want our hunting safari filmed get in touch with me Mark Hamilton of Mountain Edge Video Productions.

Great stuff you will enjoy your hunt with Gary he is one of the biggest operators down this way. Get in touch with me if you would like your hunt filmed. Thanks Mark Hamilton
