John Dietsch of Hook TV takes some time out with Poronui guide Mark Aspinall. John was visiting Poronui recently filming for his popular Adventure Guides series which airs on the Outdoor Channel. In between filming John experienced some great fishing. The weather and fish both cooperated and some excellent footage was captured. The only problem was there was nowhere near enough time to sample the range of fishing experiences available from Poronui. John is determined to make up for this in the future with a trip based more around fishing than filming.

Steve Meng took this magnificent stag on the first day of his Poronui hunt this week. The great stag, taken on a hunt with Poronui guide Mark McGlashan had plenty of scars to show that he has been fighting in earnest although up until now there had been little in the way of roaring action. Now that a few animals are making a bit of noise the action is likely to turn to a frenzy over the next week!

The 2010 hunting season is off to a great start. Both Sika and red stags are well through the process of stripping velvet from their now hard antlers. The first hunters of the season were three visitors from Australia guided by Neil Philpott. They had a great hunt, seeing some magnificent free range stags with each hunter taking a superb Sika trophy. The great growing conditions have obviously had quite an impact on the quality of the antlers this year.
The biggest of the three trophies was taken by Adam Grgurevic and scored 184 Douglas Score (DS) while Glenn Hutchings trophy measured 171 DS and Tate Walmsley 160 DS. If this early success is any indication it could be one of the best seasons for some years.

It is also apparent that the seasons are starting to change with day length shortening and heavy dew turning up most mornings. The stags are already responding to the changes heading away from the open country to mark up territories. It will not be long before the first roars are ringing out across the property!
