My First Sambar Stag (Backpack Hunt)
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
A film from my recent short backpack hunting trip into the Victorian High Country. We hiked with our packs inside the Alpine National Park in search of a sambar stag and we had success. Thanks to covid lockdowns it had taken me a number of years to get my first stag so this was one to remember, thanks for checking out the video.

Two first time hikers take on Victoria's hardest hike, 'The Viking Circuit'. The four day 42km hike includes nearly 3km of elevation change. The circuit starts at Mount Howitt and goes across the famous 'Cross Cut Saw' being a ridge line across various mountain tops before taking participants up to a mountain top known as the Viking. Hikers then move down thick bush towards the Wonnongatta rive...
Ripper video fellas looked like a awesome time
May i ask whats the name of that hunt
Hi Nyle, There were three huts we visited but the one we stayed in is Stone Hut, but we ventured down further to hunt near Royal Hut.
@ethanbennettfilms thank you I'm a bow hunter been trying to get a tahr for the last 5 years but with no luck
This is a brilliant video, please keep them coming. High quality stuff mate
Thankyou 🙏 I try to focus on the hunting out there, but I enjoy capturing the journeys on film and aim to make small improvements with each video.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Whats the name of the hut is is it called green pont hut
@nylepaulsen9616 Hi Nyle, yes it was called Pot Hut. It was quality with 10 beds and matresses inside, built in 1899 I believe.
Well done, a tough hike but you did it 💪
That looks bloody difficult but bloody good. Well done boys
Beautiful hike
never been hunting before and i'm currently in the process of getting my Cat A and B. would you recommend any gear or firearms or even if i should do some guided hunts to get the gist of hunting
Enjoy the journey of learning. I'd suggest getting plenty of time in the hills, joining the ADA and learning from those more experienced at branch hunts, and the knowledge a guide would share would accelerate your hunting career for sure.
Hey Seb, Look up Peter Christianson (Spelling might be a bit off) Baw Baw Adventures, he has probably forgotten more than most would even know, He is an absolute legend and doesn't charge like the rest of them
Very good Job Man Keep it Up 💯❤👍🙏 New Subscribe
what song name
This is a cover of 'Open the Gate' by Zach Byran. Zachs version is even better but I wasn't sure it would be available due to copyright.
If you want the I filet ,open the belly at the front so you release the pressure and it will be easier. Enjoy your hunting, always.
Good advice John, thank you. I think we will be doing that in the future for faster and easier access.
Awesome video boys!
Thanks Anthony. Glad some others enjoy the content as I slowly getting better at them! Mainly just enjoy recording our own adventures and progression as hunters in order to watch back years down the line.
Rocking the YEET Cannon 😃 Nice work
Awesome guys. Just watched it all. The weather really turned to shit for you. Great team work looking after your injured mate.. I'm sure the bright brewery was a welcomed event!!
Thanks Jack, it definitely turned on us! Seemed to happen damn near every time in 2022!! The challenges just make the trips more memorable though, that's what I love about the weather disasters etc.
You mad fking idiots🤪🤪! For the FIRST time hiking you have tackled this!!! I havent done it yet as I know the section after Mt Spec is bad!!But WOW!!!! What a video!!! I have been in similar situations before AND YES...the part where it then SNOWS I have copped, so I know how you feel!. Was the other rack the section where it goes onto the AAWT? Also loved the amount of snow on the car at the end...gives an idea how much it snowed! WELL DONE GUYS!!!!
Livin the dream guys, great stuff.
It's a good technical hike, at a Grade 5 but not the hardest, not by a long shot. Try the Howqua Peaks route at a Grade 6 in Summer and harder in Winter requiring alpine skills, ice axe and crampons plus skis or snowshoes (it actually incorporated some of the Viking Circuit along the cross cut but includes a lot more scrambling and more off track work going up King Spur to Mt.Koonika and Six mile spur up Little Buller and down McLoughlin shoulder on Buller a variation includes going along the Razor near Viking Saddle. The Viking has only a small scrambly section or two near the chimney. Although it eould ne pretty tough in Winter. It also takes twice as long.I consider this walk , the Victorian version of the Western Arthur's.. Rope may be required for non climbers. There are even tougher ones at Buffalo gorge South rim and Little gorge but these may incorporate abseiling etc. Doesnt include doing the Victorian section of the AAWT ejich is a bloody hard hime but hopelessly tedious for the most part with all the bloody fallen trees
Sounds like a great circuit for a future trip and video. I just bought an ice axe and micro spikes which I recently used in my NZ trip, will be good to put them to use again.
@@ethanbennettfilms Lots of places to use those in Victoria, but in winter best to use crampons and Mountaineering boots for the most part if going above 1500m. But conditions vary and snowshoes may be needed as well micro spikes tend to it be useful in bad snow seasons where you're more likely to find ice and not much snow on the tracks. It pays to know how to use the ice axe in self arrest situations
Actually the most brutal hike I've done in Vic is the NW spur up to Feathertop summit and then down the untracked NE spur of Feathertop to the base of Fainter South. A rugged, exposed, off track and hard scramble up the ridgeline to Fainter South summit to Bogong high plains and tawonga huts and back to Falls creek via the hotham to falls walk.
Great trip mate. It’s spectacular Tahr country. Dave and Seth really know what they are doing. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Chur boys, good video, looked amazin, congrats
What a trip. I spent the whole film reminiscing of the good trips I’ve had with Dave and Seth and dreaming of next year!!! How good!!

That dude is funny, and really attractive
Nice one mate what rifle and scope set-up are you running champion
G'day Brad, I'm shooting a Proof Elevation which I purchased from Delta Tactical... I can't fault it, and I'm very happy with it. The scope is a Hawke SF Frontier 4-20x44, nice glass, illuminated reticle, nice turrets and a well made zero stop which is useful as we dial for elevation.
@Ethan Bennett Outdoor Films sounds great mate what calibre is the proof in
@@bradleytyrrell4417 I'm shooting a 300wm, but considering buying a 7mm PRC barrel as the barrels can be screwed on and off to easily change calibre.
@@ethanbennettfilms sounds awesome 👌 mate
Great film! Awesome to see high country backpack hunting 🤙
Good video boys. Keep it up i am watching. Markus
Thanks Markus! Saw your ute down Thompson's Rd Cranbourne a month or two back, looked great 👍
@@ethanbennettfilms thank you 🙌 Keep up the good work 💪
Really enjoyed this video. Sometimes it’s just about spending time with your mates.
Watching and filming deer is great, camping is great, hiking is great. You can't have a bad time! 👍
@@ethanbennettfilms So true! 👌
Big bucks there must be sparkies or something good trip boys 😊
Good on you That head is worth a million times more than a 30 inch + stag shot with a spotlight or thermal Congratulations
Thank you! Definitely feels good to earn it the hard way.
Congratulations, how'd you blokes go carting out all those quarters? Back breaking work in that country, but the best part of the hunt.
Thank you. Unfortunately due to time and weather restraints it was backstraps only on this occasion.
Congratulations that was wild. It would be really cool if you could do a vid on the equipment you use. Once again well done.
Thankyou! I'll definitely put together a short video of all my hiking equipment and give some thoughts on what I like and don't like.
Congratulations fellas on such a difficult hike and the snow makes it so much more difficult to navigate , great video and one which would have been difficult to film in such a cold with no gloves , well done 👍 thank you
Awesome. Still able to maintain a sense of humour when the going got tough.
Thanks for posting! Great for educating hikers on how to be prepared for any event or weather.
Thanks Alyce. We had intended to do the hike in three days however quickly realised that with the conditions and our fitness that it wasn't possible so suddenly there was a risk of snow we hadn't considered. After 5 hours in the snow we knew to be prepared for almost anything next time, oh gloves would have been so nice. Using the GPS on our phones was near impossible when hands have gone red and numb. We ended up cutting a jumper up and using it to wrap our hands for some protection for the last hour or two which helped. The next trip I will film will be the West Arthur's in Tasmania which is even more challenging.
Good on you guys! Fantastic effort! I'm looking forward to trying the loop in spring. I was thinking of maybe going counter-clockwise. Any thoughts on that? Enjoyed watching the video BTW.
Thank you, and no reason at all why you couldn't go counter clockwise. It would be nice and steep down the Viking but all doable.
