This week at Macquarie Island: 8 February 2013

After a busy week on station (recreational and work) the hunters deployed into the field for the last time. While on station they were able to participate in the combined Australia and Waitangi Day festivities and pack their personal gear into boxes ready to be sent home. This month the team have carefully coordinated a hunting trip around the island visiting and hunting their favourite locations prior to leaving the island early in March.
