Hunters Element founder and CEO Rob Wilson headed deep into South Island high country with his camera and a couple of good mates, chasing cold-weather conditions and some proper testing ground for the Forge Jacket. With snow on the peaks, freezing mornings, and plenty of rough terrain, it turned into the ideal mission to put our toughest puffer through its paces.
Photographers Lennon Bright and Jason Beacham, along with mate and bow hunter legend Richard Barnett, got lucky enough to draw a coveted Wānaka Roar ballot this year. This set them up perfectly for an epic 7-day hunt with a goal to shoot a few prime Otago Red stags, and bring home some meat for the freezer.
Photographer George Collier shoots more than just ducks. He specialises in lifestyle, adventure, and landscape photography and loves working in nature.
