The hunting season is well underway in Southland/Fiordland.

Kirsty talks to Kathryn about duck shooting, muttonbirds and the Wapiti ballot. Also Fiordland has featured prominently at the New Zealand Search and Rescue Awards.

And Kirsty says locals will be affected by the impending closure of the H&J Smith department store in Invercargill, the Te Anau branch closed its doors after Covid.
