    Wow, incredible. I am 65 years old and have hunted New Zealand one time in 2010. Took a small Tahr with a bow. However, you are a real man. Unbelievable achievement. You guys do outstanding work with video and hunting. Keep it up, you are an inspiration.

    Great vid, awesome footage. Loved the solo commentary. Can really relate to spending that much time alone in the Bush. Keep up the good work.

    Absolute crackin video, ive said it before and i will say it again. "You guys make the best vids". I reckon that 8 pointer was fairly old. Tough call. Luv the colour of those tarns! Cheerz Boyz. 🦌

      Yea agreed on both counts - great video! And that stag was probably at his best 👍 always best to leave him if you aren't convinced though so good call 👏

      Cheers mate we really appreciate it! Yea was a very tough decision to make haha… Thought long and hard about it but decided not to as I was looking for something with a few more points, it will definitely make a nice trophy for someone though! Was hoping for some good hunting karma too by leaving it but sadly never happened that trip 😅😂

    Camped at that Tarn at 10 minutes a great spot although its had some pressure the last few years since it featured in a youtube clip. Its pretty epic area for sure.

    Awesome scenery as always - loved it. A little surprised you didn't take that stag. If it were me and I'd been trudging across the mountains with all that kit for ten days, I think I'd have drawn a bead on him. Then again, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me.

      @southislandriflewalkers5545  2 роки тому +1

      We're really selective about when and where we fly it, if we're wanting to hunt an area we don't put it up! Definitely spooks anything within earshot

      Sorry mate we don't like to share or name the spots we visit! We don't try all that hard to hide where we go if you know the areas, but alot of time and effort goes into route finding and exploring to find these spots.

      Would you say there are fairly versatile. In the terms that you can kinda of shrink or confine them down for smaller hunts as well like only a few nights?
