Episode #003 Imagine traversing the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, from North to South, amidst the unpredictable weather and diverse cultural contrasts. My friend Geoff Irvine and I bring this experience to you, as we embark on a fascinating discussion about his homeland. We touch on the peculiarities of New Zealand's geography, the distinct hunting styles between the two islands, and the current weather patterns that are causing more rainfall than usual right in the middle of winter. Spoiler alert: I also reveal my plans to return to New Zealand to partake in some thrilling goose and duck hunting for my 40th birthday!
New Zealand is known for many things, and its world-class waterfowl and Canada geese hunting opportunities are definitely high on the list. Geoff paints a vivid picture of the different hunting seasons across the regions, the history of Canada geese in the country, and the preparation that goes into hunting these birds. He also shares the reason why Canada geese can be hunted all year round in New Zealand - a fact that you may find quite intriguing!
But our conversation isn't limited to hunting alone. As we delve deeper, we explore the cultural contrasts in hunting and dog training across the North and South Islands. Geoff shares the journey of his dog Jess and how she has grown from a timid pup to a bold hunting companion, thanks to some training tactics that I shared during my visit to New Zealand. We also touch on different dog personalities and their impact on hunting and training abilities. We wrap up with stories from our own hunting adventures in New Zealand and the USA, while eagerly looking forward to future conversations and hunting escapades together. Join us as we take you on an international waterfowl hunting experience like no other!
