New Zealand's South Island is a topography of fantasy, a map of dreams, its natural beauty so intense it mirrors fiction. Of course, there are no oliphaunts or hobbits here, but the red stags that dot its landscape are majestic enough to fit right into your favorite fantastical landscape. It's a place of dreams envisioned, and dreams captured. Those who chase those dreams are embarking on a Savage Journey, indeed!

In this "A Dream Come True" video, ride along with hunter Rob Gates as he chases a dream across the rolling hills and breathtaking valleys of New Zealand. Equipped with the Savage Impulse KLYM straight-pull rifle, chambered in 7mm PRC with Hornady ELD-X ammunition, and a Leupold scope, Rob was prepared for the challenges ahead. Every step he took into this untamed landscape felt like stepping deeper into a world shaped by the forces of nature alone. Thrill along with us as Gates pursues one of the most beautiful game animals in the world, in one of the most beautiful places.
