The Hunters Club

- Season 2

(2016)

The entire Hunters Club team assemble in the mountains of the Mackenzie country, near Tekapo, on a mission to secure Himalayan Tahr for both the table and the trophy room.

The team head out into the hills of Marlborough on a pig hunt with a difference, integrating aerial filming, GPS tracking and remote camera dogs to showcase the sport in a new light.

After kicking things off with the classic Kiwi mai-mai based duck shoot, we change tack and adopt a style of shooting more commonly seen in North America; utilising blinds to shoot over recently harvested stubble paddocks.

The rifles are left behind this week as bowhunter Tim is joined by good mate Hardie on a return trip to Stewart Island, with the aim of settling some unfinished business from our first series - trying to nail an elusive Whitetail on bow.

More fun and games in Big Kuri Bay this week, as Tim sets himself the particularly tough task of bush stalking a Whitetail deer, before donning the neoprene to take advantage of Stewart Islands bountiful seafood stocks.

Anto and Andre battle some particular rugged conditions in the Southern Alps in an attempt to topple a trophy Chamois Buck. But, as they find out, things don't always go according to plan.

We're back with Tim and his dogs again this week, in pursuit of a big boar in the Blenheim back blocks. Things turn a bit frantic as both pigs and dogs make life hard for hunters and crew alike.

Temperatures soar as Andre joins up with his Aussie mate Adam and head into the remote Cape York Peninsula, on a mission to chase down some mean Aussie hogs with bow and arrow.

We're joined by a few new faces this week as the Hunters Club team head out into the hills around Kaikoura in search of some tasty meat for the freezer, with Goat, Deer, Pig and Wild Ram all on the hit list.

In the climactic hour long series finale, the team venture into the remote Southern Alps as part of the annual Tahr Ballot, in the midst of one of the most severe cold snaps in New Zealand's history.
