I'm not a hunter, but I've watched a bit of your stuff as it pops into my feed. I appreciate the stunning cinematography, the skill involved in your stalk and the way you tell the story. Beautiful country we live in, for sure. This was SO much more real than the shooting on private blocks of what appear to be more or less captive, managed animals. The smile on your face said it all.
Thanks man this is a good comment to read. So what brought you to watch the hunting videos, have you ever wanted to go hunting or are you just curious or enjoy the outdoors? I'm interested to see why you clicked on my videos mate, thanks for the comment I really appreciate it
@@j.e.wilds-hunting I'm a keen fisho and follow quite a few channels like the Morningtiide boys, so I think I either got recommended or linked to one of your top water kingie vids. Amazing stuff. From there, I think the algorithm sends me some of your stuff, but I also watch a bit of Rogee Productions etc, so maybe from those hunting views? Either way, fishing is the same hunting instinct, I believe, and I have shot a few hares, rabbits etc and have a licence - so the outdoors and hunting stuff is of interest. I just can't be bothered with watching shoots of non free-range animals, no matter how dramatic the footage or how big the antlers. Lone hunter with his old canine mate, stalking a wily old 9 pointer in the stunning wilderness, you bet.
@@thor_6886 we all share the same passions whether we hunt or fish, same drive just different playing fields. Good to hear your enjoying the missions man. Thanks for reaching out also! I just got back from a 3 day Tahr hunt so look forward to some snowy mountain videos coming up
Very well done on the hunt, showing great maturity as a hunter, awesome job on the filming but best of all sharing it with your best mate. That dog may be old, sore from walking but being with you on a hunt is what he lives for. Well done!!!
Yer boi. What an awesome video bud i really enjoyed it you just in one video captured all the reasons why i love to hunt - the crazy beautiful nz backcountry, the amazing animals that call it home and the hard work it takes to do it safely while paying respect to any animal that is harvested. Kia Kaha, keep it up. O for orsome. Yeow.
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it and the whole experience is the reason we do it isnt it. The kill is the part I dont like. Thanks for the comment mate I appreciate it
JE Wilds totally agree. Exciting. Fun. Bittersweet all at the same time. Always feel almost a bit sad when I knock one over but I love it all the same. Good luck - looking forward to the next one.
Finally...Thanks Joe! Epic video... really told the story with a nice flow and pace. The back (strap) story was great...you shared a 10-years-waiting experience with us...really, thanks Dude. The comfort level you have in that environment shows through in the video quality. just a man & his dog on a romp. Cheers!
Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it! Haha yeah I've spent enough time in the Bush that sometimes I get nervous when I'm in town 😬 haha. Cheers for the comment mate I appreciate it!
Love watching you and your mate . You put in the big yards and reap the rewards and your footage is first class. You are very selective with the animals you shoot which is great and getting paid for something you love to do is a bonus. Cheers
I can believe this channel hasn’t blown up yet absolutely amazing stuff just keep doing what you do I’ve rewatched all your stuff you’re live my dream I’ll get there you are my inspiration
Wasn't disappointed with part 2, awesome once again and too get yourself a trophy, doesn't have to have loads of points but a trophy for all your hard work fella. Please keep the videos coming you do such an awesome job, thank you for your efforts.
Another cracking video mate. Appreciate the extra effort you make in hauling the camera gear and filming. I’m keen for more camping stuff on top of the hunting if poss. Chur
So I've seen the last few vids. Wow great arrangement clear views great sound. Yes I'm local but stuck in Australia. Have vowed to go bush when I finally get home. Thanks for your efforts, I do go right along with you and due to your exceptional film making (compared to the other 30 Nz hunting channels I watch) I can feel the stalk, hear the creek burbling etc. Thank you.
Thanks and I am glad you enjoy the journey with me, I am happy to hear that people are following along and experiencing it themselves. If the travel bubble opens up let's hope you can get out into the wild! Thanks for the comment mate
Great hunt, great photography. Please Keep these videos coming. New Zealand looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for the journey. Felt like I’ve had a trip myself. Cheers mate
Seems the gear rundown is the one you guys are asking for, I will definitely do a full breakdown on the gear for each different type of hunt I do. It is a good idea mate, thanks for the comment
I'm a photographer and not really that into hunting but I subscribed because the production values here are so superb. Makes me just wanna get out with a camera and hit the back country. What an awesome place we live in. Bravo mate.
This (part 2) is my favourite of the trip Joe. Awesome to see the genuine, 'as it happens' excitement. I love your cinematic work but these more 'raw' and natural edits make everything more real, more 'actual' in the story telling sense. Top notch Joe ... looking forward to more content. Cheers, Matt.
Brilliant. I’ve only recently ‘found’ your channel and loving every bit of it. You’re approaching the filming in a really novel, artistic way and importantly not glorifying the ‘kill’ which so many seem to do. From here in Scotland, my own stalking is every bit as spectacular with scenery just like NZ (maybe a bit smaller!). Great advert for NZ and respectful stalking. When I eventually make it over to NZ, I’ll be booking a guided trip with you guys! Some gear reviews would be good too but keep the videos coming!
JE Wilds Originally from Inverness in the Highlands but now on the outskirts of Glasgow. Mostly Roe deer and fallow down here but plenty of Reds up north. If you ever fancy coming over, would be delighted to sort some guided days for you.
Top notch videos bro, stumbled across part one as it popped up on my feed. Subbed to your channel half way thru it. Won't miss any more, virtual guiding bro 👍 Now that's kiwi ingenuity 😎 Well done
Nice work, great vid. Well done. Classy editing too👌 looking forward to the next one. Cheers from Melbourne, the lockdown capital of the Southern Hemisphere 😆
Wooo!! Its looking better there though! There's light at the end of the tunnel, right? Well, at least, that's what I gather from the general downward trend in new cases. 😁
Wow, what an absolutely awesome video & hunt. I don't get out as often as I would like to any more, & watching this was epic. Especially enjoy the comradery between you & your old dog.
I just stumbled across your video's , absolutely fantastic !! Beautiful country , great footage & of course , "Excellent Stag". Well done , great hunt 👍
That old stag has some character, still scrapping after going down! Unreal filming and editing mate, bloody nice to watch. What sort of drone have you got, would you recommend it?
Yeah he was probably the boss of that basin haha. Imagine seeing him patrolling the area in the Roar! Thanks for the comment mate. I am using my Mavic Air 2 in this vid
Awesome part 2.really set the scene in part 1.I do alot of solo hunts like this myself so appreciate what you go through.Its not all about the kill that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.
You know what it's like then! Glad you enjoyed the mini series mate I have received some good feedback that makes me want to do more. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate the support
Hey Joe, I got a stag this size lower down the valley, roar of 2022, just above the lower valley rapids. Not as old, but a good 10 points. Beautiful valley, eh. A ton of animals in there. My first stag, my first deer in ages after some poor luck ( or skill ;p ) Glad you had an awesome trip. Special place.
Just stumbled on to your channel. Good stuff! Very well done! Great country you've got there. Pup knows his job real well. Great dog! Subbed! I'm in coastal Oregon. Similar country in some ways. Doing an LOP elk hunt that just started today. Not filming, just hunting. I'll be checking out the rest of your channel... Happy New Year 2022!
Thanks Matt and I'm sorry to cut the first part short as I thought 20 mins was getting too long was my reasoning. Glad you found part 2 and thanks for subscribing I appreciate it
Great hunt my friend.That Is so difficult to film you own hunt and do such a great job.I am from Pennsylvania and love to hunt Whitetails and spring hunt wild gobblers.I love to archery hunt for whitetails.Just harvested a mature whitetail on 10/30/20.You sure have some beautiful country to hunt there in New Zealand.Would love to fly fish in your country also.I am to old now to climb those mountains with all that gear like you.Congrats on your great hunts.
Well deserved mate. Most would have shot that first stag on part one, including myself. Interesting to see what's out there when you let the small guys go.
That's right it is always exciting to wait the time out and see what is going to show up. If you have the days it is a good tactic to play out I feel! Thanks for your comment mate and I'm glad you enjoyed it
As a poor $ hunter I get alot more out of watching you hunt on foot and work hard to get a good outcome. Not all of us hunters can afford expensive helicopter flights into remote areas. All the expensive equipment too is nice to see, but not affordable to all of us. A nice film to watch with you and your dog, without other people around. Cheers
Well the boot I've been using as my all rounder for the last two years is the Zamberlan Guide GTX. I am happy with how they go if I'm doing a bit of all sorts. I just got some of their Lynx model as well so will be hunting in them a bit from now on too. You can find them both at all your Hunting and Fishing stores.
@@j.e.wilds-hunting Cheers mate the old Meindl are just about done.Thanks for the quick response and I wish the very best in your future keep the great honest content coming
This channel reminds me of YBS young bloods but hunting!!! Keep up the great work grind and it will pay off!!! Great quality and footage that stuff is not easy to get those shots! Plus editing! Thanks keep it up brotha all the way from Albuquerque, New Mexico! DNSN Outfitters! On the way!!!
I love footage like that! Great editing. I'm not hunter but i have question. Why are you hunt? For food? Pleasure? Trophy? Or this is some kind of a job? Did someone hire you to shoot a buck? And how the hell did you transport such a big animal! I'm just curious :) I would sell my soul for life like yours. Beautifull views, passion and skills. Great job!
I hunt for many reasons, in fact most of those points you noted. The experience of being in the Wild and all that comes with it. That primal journey that dates back to the start of human kind with searching for food still remains among a lot of people in the World today. Although we can buy our meat from a supermarket now days where someone else has done the harvesting for us, there is still a large portion of people that like to follow that primal urge and harvest their own meat. For me I really enjoy the whole experience, the hunt itself. The kill isnt what drives me to do it. It is more the journey involved. I get the memories to relive forever of the places I've been. The antlers or trophy is just a part of the story that forever reminds me of the journey of that experience. In this particular hunt, I took as much meat as I could. My Dog ate well too. I have a trophy to remind me of the journey, I have a video to relive forever. I have created the ability for others to share the journey as well, like yourself experiencing the hunt with me. Respect goes to the Stag forever.
Bloody spot on Joe. I don't know how you do this shit solo - both filming and nailing a solid stag. Keen as on some camping and bow shooting filmage. Blimey backstraps for doggo, jealous as.
Let me know what you guys want to see more of in the upcoming videos! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙌🏻
Sika roar would be sick
Is that us next year haha
Scope camera shots, but really deer, chamoise , Tahr, goose hunting...
Gear equipment tips etc

I love footage like that! Great editing. I'm not hunter but i have question. Why are you hunt? For food? Pleasure? Trophy? Or this is some kind of a job? Did someone hire you to shoot a buck? And how the hell did you transport such a big animal! I'm just curious :) I would sell my soul for life like yours. Beautifull views, passion and skills. Great job!
I hunt for many reasons, in fact most of those points you noted. The experience of being in the Wild and all that comes with it. That primal journey that dates back to the start of human kind with searching for food still remains among a lot of people in the World today. Although we can buy our meat from a supermarket now days where someone else has done the harvesting for us, there is still a large portion of people that like to follow that primal urge and harvest their own meat.
For me I really enjoy the whole experience, the hunt itself. The kill isnt what drives me to do it. It is more the journey involved. I get the memories to relive forever of the places I've been. The antlers or trophy is just a part of the story that forever reminds me of the journey of that experience.
In this particular hunt, I took as much meat as I could. My Dog ate well too. I have a trophy to remind me of the journey, I have a video to relive forever. I have created the ability for others to share the journey as well, like yourself experiencing the hunt with me. Respect goes to the Stag forever.
