Excellent footage mate and what bloody brilliant country you’re in. You really do love what you’re doing and it’s a pleasure to watch and enjoy your footage. Proper hunting!
Hey Mark, I'm so stoked on how part 1 and 2 came together. The country is out of this would. Thank you for picking up on the passion I have for this project, I really do love it and am blowen away to live this incredible life. Am off to South Westland next month which will be an epic follow up to Fiordland.
@@JUSTWILDNZ I’ll look forward to seeing your next footage mate, my age doesn’t allow me to do what you do any longer, but it certainly brings back some great memories and that is enough for me. Great work, keep it up 👍
@@markoneill9064 Mark that is an incredible message. This is exactly who I see when I look at the camera, you are on the hill with me when I film my brother.
Sam, I take my hat off to you guys when back in day, when you did it, you did it hard. Reading all those crumpy books just blows my mind and the hardness of a man back then. Thanks heaps for watching.
Congrats on a great stag, well deserved in some tough country. I just came across your channel and watched the Fiordland hunts. I really enjoyed them, you had some great footage and kept me engaged the whole time. Keep up the great work mate and keep the videos coming. 👍
I admire your enthusiasm when it's crappy rough weather there and you're still smiling that's cool. I make a few videos for youtube myself too but I don't like talking while hunting as it can spook deer for a long way and the deer round here are very weary with a lot of pressure on them.
Hey brother and thanks for your awesome comment. I guess the smiles and loving the crazy weather comes from always being warm and dry after my first 25+ years of hunting being wet and cool. Good gear helps haha. Thank you mega for checking out the vids.
Love the vids mate binge watching them all as a new nz Hunter looking for all the best tips and tricks. Would love to see a video about how to not get lost and stuff in the bush (tips and tricks) much love I hope I could meet you one day ❤️
Hey dude, thanks mega for you suggestion on a episode. Was thinking about doing one "how I became a much better hunter" tricks and tips and then will start loading up more direct content on the membership community page. I use to be a HUNTS instructor so understand the barriers and frustrations for a new hunter. Check out the episode on rabbits. Rabbits use to be the foundation for hunters but is a stage new hunters want to skip. 35+ years of hunting and I still love rabbit hunting and it's meat. Also check out the fitness episode? let me know if these episode helped.
Good commentary, beautiful country. Most important for me is taste of the meat, which should have been the conclusion. Best elk I've tasted came from west central Alberta Canada, near Rocky Mountain Houes.
Thanks so so much!!! Yeah it's crazy country for sure. That meat that we earnt is just next level. Know how and where that animal die is everything to me. No one eles doing my dirty work. Thanks so much for watching and wow Alberta much be incredible
Waidmannsheil, As we say in Europa. You are blessed to live in such a country with such a diverse climate, flora and fauna. Good to see a happy hunter, you put a lot of effords in filming alone in various extreme conditions, verry well done. Of cause I subscribed to your channel and will watch the other video's you filmed.
wow have never heard waidmannsheil. thank you for your comment 🙏 yeah the filming isn't that easy solo but as long as I just run off passion it's seems to get better and better. thanks and enjoy
Thanks mega. The adventure of the trip was so incredible and then to finish it with over 100 kg meat and bone to always remind me of this trip is very something else.
Congrats a great bull, you really put in the hard yards for that one. The carry back to base camp must've been hell. Surely you just got the chopper to pick ya up from there?
Thanks mate. Yeah sure did, thanks the beauty of the Stillwater block is you can get dropped off and picked up anywhere. The key wilderness blocks is at high tide mark and then you have to walk for days (sometimes) to get into the real hot spots, making impossible to get all the meat out. Well over 100 portions of dinner from this one animal.
Nice work, we appreciate your efforts on getting this video out and the difficulties of both hunting and filming. 42 inches is respectable for that area. Cheers Pete
42 inches is great for most areas. The work the FWF are doing is allowing bulls of this quality and much better is making it possible for true giants to be harvested. Hunting in this area is a privilege, and being comfortable of spending 10 days out there without harvesting is a must. Spoke to a young guy this season that’s been in 8 times, and only one bull taken in all those trips. Truely magical country
@@stuatkinson5325 yep, this is my second shot in 10 trips. Best one I saw was 47 inches and I left him but filmed him. After I left him some eles took him which is why I know he was 47. Magic place
Congrats on a great video Justin. What’s more amazing is the mental fortitude you have. To come up with a plan and navigate on your own what you have to, is incredible. And the achievement at the end makes it all worth it. 20 years ago when I first met you I never would’ve thought you’d be capable of this. Kudos, What a journey mate.
My man. We are all capable of amazing mental toughness but it's a daily grind and I love it. I do it, not just to be a better hunter but also to try and be a better husband and father. I goal is to just try and be 1% better everyday. Is this the Steve from Kapiti that moved down South?
Thanks so much. You hit the nail on the head with the adventure. How lucky are we to be able to experience such epic trips and bring home meat to feed the family.
Fair play not many will do a solo trip in that country for that long well done on the Stag Those bluffs are tough to get up through but worse when your trying to find a way down👍
Bluffs on the way down are a different kettle of fish (what the hell dose that saying even mean? haha) That's when your mental toughness is really tested. to be bluffed out after a big walk only to head back up and try again....wow it next level hard work. Thank so much for checking out this vid.
Congrats, that's an awesome adventure and nice to see so many animals, and get a representative one on the deck. Like the compact rifle set up. Hey, also, the RAB rain jacket, did it keep you dry, or is the reality with any rain jacket in Fiordland your gonna be soaked at some point due to saturation?
Oh dude so many great questions!!!! firstly that insane rifle is a CZ EGRO 600 which has only just come out, this one is a 300 win mag and the groups I'm getting with Winchester Deer Season XP 150 grain blows my mind. The scope is Meopta....they range from $1k+ and is the best optics I have ever had and the price is so good. OOOOHHHHH the Rab Kangri GTX jacket kept me dry the whole time. Even when totally wet that night, some how it just dries it self over night in the tent. The trick here is the up keep and cleaning it correctly so the Gore Tex can do it's thing. I guess if I didn't nail my laying correctly then I might have got wet? I have had this jacket (pants were also Kangri) for 2 years and just sprayed some Nikwax on it for this trip. I wear this jacket in summer-winter and just love it. The Kangri has two big side pockets. Most of Rabs other high-end jackets are shorter for ice and rock climbing. in Kiwi$ Rifle 2k my scope 1.5k Jacket $900
Thanks dude, really appreciate it. Rifle is the new CZ ERGO 600. Mine is in a 300 Win Mag with Meopta optics. it's an epic setup with out the massive price tag
How did you find it? Fiordland is a different level. I take it you had to get FWF approval to go in solo? Have you heard how old your bull was? Any regrets/ things you would do differently from the trip
The weather on this trip was incredible. 6 odd days of no rain or closed out tops (clouds) is unreal. You can't put in for a solo ballot, I put in for 2 and my other hunting member had a non-hunter with him. They were in a different valley system. There was other party of 4 way up in the main head basin of Stillwater. Going in Solo is just what I'm use to when I started finding it hard to find people to hunt with. The FWF defiantly don't like the idea of solo and its never recommend. I'll send jaw down in a couple of days to get the age. Like I said tho he's was not fully in his prime even tho his front bulk was massive. Regrets? I just hope this Vid doesn't push someone out of their comfort zone and put them in danger just because I may have made it look safe and easy. I train every day Mind and/or body, this is my world and I just love it. It's what feeds my family and pay the bills. Being bush fit ready everyday not just every roar is my obsession.
On this episode I used a Siltarp Plus Solo. The "Plus" range comes with Guide lines and stakes. The rifle is new the new CZ ERGO 600, mine is a 300 win mag with Meotpa optics. I've always loved CZ and how much time they spend on the barrels to get it right. It's something crazy like 3-4 years work/time on every barrel before it's out to the market? I'll need to re-ask Kilwell (the importers into NZ) if that's right. I know when you see the prices of the Siltarps it will make you fall over but once you have one and use it....It's worth every cent.
"The sense of what gives me the right to take the life of this animal" What sense is that? How is that for you to decide? What do you do with the kill? Eat it? I can understand that. Or do you cut it's head off and hang it up at home? I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
This is such a fantastic question and thank you so much for asking it. For the last 3 years+, me and my family only eat wild meat at home. Zero meat comes from the shops. If I don't shoot it, fish or spear gun it...we don't eat it. I need that recognition of the death on that animal to be on me. I need to do my own dirty work and have the blood on my hands. This is not for anyone and I don't Judy others for buying meat....it's just what works for me. That life needs to be taken in it's own environment and I need to know how quick that death was. If we go out to a Café (which is rarely) for lunch then it's got to be free-range. only because the world doesn't cater for us.
Forgot to answer the main question. Even the neck meat and rib meat came home. Over 100 portions of dinners. I really appreciate you watch the whole vid
You got supermarkets to buy your meat leave the wild animals in peace he could have been an elder in his pack or a mother searching food and land ..there's no need for this
Bugger off these animals have lived a way better life than most farmed animals so be happy it lived a good life focus more on animals living in cages plus this animal was probably roughly 6-7yrs of age Nice bull by the way been dreaming since I was younger to hunt a wapiti bull memories will stay in your mind for the rest of your life.

Hey mega thanks for having my back. I understand the cloudiness people have when it comes hunters and that we hunt because we are animal lovers and the idea of a caged farm animal of a truck and the stress of it much be out of this world. Anyway I don't need to explain it to you, you get it. I hope you get down to this magical place.
@@JUSTWILDNZ you have farmed animals to eat I think you should leave the wild animals in peace . I would understand if we were natives living indigenous lives or there were a food shortage. Your hunting for the thrill of the kill perhaps your ancient instincts are firing off here but we have evolved .this doesn't sit right with me .but that's just my opinion .I don't like this. I don't eat meat either it makes me feel sick 🤢. So I can't relate to you at all
Can't describe how proud I am of you my Boy. Love ya heaps Dad
Thanks mega my main man, That means the world to me, Love ya mega
This man has the best attitude I’ve ever seen out in the cold rain. I love your videos man! Salutations from Texas!

How did you find it? Fiordland is a different level. I take it you had to get FWF approval to go in solo?
Have you heard how old your bull was? Any regrets/ things you would do differently from the trip
The weather on this trip was incredible. 6 odd days of no rain or closed out tops (clouds) is unreal. You can't put in for a solo ballot, I put in for 2 and my other hunting member had a non-hunter with him. They were in a different valley system.
There was other party of 4 way up in the main head basin of Stillwater.
Going in Solo is just what I'm use to when I started finding it hard to find people to hunt with. The FWF defiantly don't like the idea of solo and its never recommend.
I'll send jaw down in a couple of days to get the age. Like I said tho he's was not fully in his prime even tho his front bulk was massive.
