Fiordland wapiti blocks are open!

​The Fiordland Wapiti ballot is open, and expectedly many will apply. They opened on August 15th and will close on the 7th October. Dates are as follows; 1st period 20th March – 29th March 2021, 2nd period 30th March – 8th April, 3rd period 9th April – 18th April, and 4th Period 19th – 28th April. The fourth period are member only blocks, something introduced this year, and more details to come. For many Kiwi hunters Fiordland is the pinnacle and not for the faint hearted. It is some of the most testing conditions in the world. High rainfall and rugged country make the toughest hunting in the country. I’ve never gone there myself, but its on the radar. I’m semi preoccupied with trying to get a decent Red stag now, and I’m probably not quite there yet in terms of experience. Many hunters come out empty handed however their better from the experience and many will long to come back. The build up to the hunt is half the fun, with fitness levels needing to be up there. If you think you’re up to it, why not enter the ballot?
