Public land red stag hunting high in the Southern Alps during late summer at velvet stripping time. We use the Garmin InReach to send out text messages to a helicopter pilot for remote location pick up at the end of our hunt.
@gregoryross.303منذ 3 سنواتExcellent video, excellent hunting, and an excellent trip. When I was hunting in the Southern Alps during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, there was of course id="hidden2" class="buttons"> no GPS, no cell phones, no locator beacons, and no digital cameras. And virtually nobody used a chopper to get them into and out of a hunting area. We tramped in, or used 4WDs sometimes. Things have changed since then! But, the venison market has virtually disappeared since then, so, there are far more deer and chamois around now than then, and using all the modern technology to hunt deer now helps to compensate for the lack of heavy commerical chopper hunting that there was in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, which kept come control on deer numbers. It's a great NZ heritage to be able to go out on any day of the year and shoot all the deer you like, as many as you like, and do whatever you like with the meat. Good hunting! ....وسعت3

@pt4036منذ 6 سنواتI've often wondered how much effort big stags like you shot take to strip and colour up their effort and video

@richardjackson3939منذ 6 سنواتGreat hunt, after you strip the velvet do you stain the antler, potassium permanganate works, just wonder what you do if anything? Cheers 1

@hairystagمنذ 5 سنواتGreat video. What part of the year where these stags taken?
@
@themish30منذ 5 سنواتAwesome video, thanks for sharing the experience. Anybody that has walked mountains like those knows why you choose the meat or the trophy and those are id="hidden6" class="buttons"> definitely trophies that will be remembered for a lot longer than a couple of steaks and a stew. The fact that half these whinging keyboard warriors call the ANTLERS "horns" shows there complete lack of knowledge. Keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to the next adventures. ....وسعت1

@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82منذ 6 سنواتhow much does the chopper trip cost you for both ways?? Great hunt, he didn't even know he was hit it was so clean. 1
@
@roosta2130منذ 6 سنواتNice stag bud but pretty sad on the meat recovery for prime animal on public land if your just after antlers safaris are a bit more respectable way going id="hidden7" class="buttons"> bout it you even had a chopper so there's no real excuse why couldn't recover meat on fly out day or picked up antlers on fly out .? Mark it on ya GPS haha But hey that's just me I get a better feeling getting my kill home to share then just having a story an antlers to show when like really you've got the ultimate story even without ya antlers you have it on video what's better then that just a thort but nice stag 1nce agian ....وسعت1

@MrNitrox91منذ 6 سنواتThis aint hunting, just killing. Don't shoot what you can´t carry home. You give hunters everywhere a bad rep. 1

@dawnsixمنذ 6 سنواتHow could you MURDER that poor innocent animal? That stag was some poor baby deers father and you took his life. Why cant you just be like the rest of id="hidden9" class="buttons"> us normal people and get your meat from the supermarket where it magically appears on the shelf and no animals are murdered? ....وسعت4

@jobaccamasakadoمنذ 6 سنواتI hate to trash these guys, but I have to agree with the other comments. Never waste meat!!!! No matter what. Never. Waste. Meat. I love you guys, but let's do better. Good video and good action.
@
@nathanbellamy7870منذ 6 سنواتWhat a tragedy that those magnificent animals didn't have the respect they deserved. If your not fit enough for the big country and bring out the meat. Don't go there and just stick to farm scrub.

@juliehobbs6827منذ 6 سنواتNo respect. When you take a life you do not waste it. 3
