Lifeflight rescued an injured hunter from a ravine in south-west Wairarapa yesterday afternoon after his companion ran to a nearby house for help.
The man, in his fifties, had fallen down a steep ravine on farmland.
The Westpac rescue helicopter was able to lower a paramedic to the man, and winch him on board.
Crewman Logan Taylor said the man had suffered moderate injuries.
"He couldn't have walked out of there," he said.
