I wouldn't call them forests like you'd know them... that I walk Tara, as New Zealand native bush is more than a forest most people know as a forest, its totally different to a British forest,or a American forest but yes just out in nature in the raw one could say, we have treking tracks all over NZ in our bush regions,some you have been a experienced tramper to go onto them cos they are experienced tracks one can get lost on,others you can trek in a few hours..

Maybe this young guys video will give you some idea of the area & what I mean by native bush..

A very quiet place on the coast where deer walk free and people drive very slow.  I am so glad you walk the forests. It is so peaceful there

Yes not many people ever get to even see a real live deer up this close in their lifetime..that's why I dont like to hear or see them being killed by hunters up there.they were just quietly grazing on a track while the sun came up..I hope Tara will tell us more about her experience in her photo..

Ahh thats so delightful, what an opportunity of a lifetime,one that not many get to witness up close..wanna see one I took also many years ago..I was blessed to see this momma & her baby one early morning on one of my treks near the Te Urewera National Park which was a national park near the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, established as such in 1954 and disestablished back in 2014, when it was replaced by a new legal entity and protected area named Te Urewera. I witnessed it for only about 8 minutes then they clicked I was there and ran off into the native bush,I still cant believe I managed to catch it on film even.
