Re: 2022 Red Deer Roar

Daryl,

No moose in Australia.

There were and are wapiti/elk in South Australia. If they haven't been shot out since. I missed on getting to hunt them by a week ... In that the farmer and wife decided no more new hunters a week before when I asked. They may still be there if not shot out. A herd from 60 to several hundred.

Louis,

Moose were introduced to Fiordland. In SW South Island. If any were found today, you would be famous. Maybe a hundred years ago? Last in the 1950s I think.

Elk/wapiti existed in good numbers also in Fiordland. A couple or so decades ago the Kiwi govt decided to save them. By catching them all. Putting them on large deer farms. For safe keeping until .... Never left the farms.

In the wild some may still exist. Probably cross bred with red deer.

Fiordland is both a challenging and rewarding place to hunt. One could apply for a permit/draw to hunt there for a period of time and block. Dropped off by chopper with your supplies for two weeks. Possibly in a tent rained in for two weeks!
