What a weedy city-boy mincer.
Enjoy yourself it's later than you think ;)
What do you expect, He's liberal
_\DeepInThought/_ that’s a pretty deep thought, not saying that I disagree with it Hahaha
Haha...I love how VICE considers deer hunting so out of the ordinary and wild. VICE brings us stuff like LSD Underground and behind the scenes of ISIS. Putting deer hunting in the same mix is really LOL!
To be fair you'll probably find a lot more people have tried LSD than have gone hunting in the UK.
I don't know why its a problem I enjoyed watching both isis and this
+Søren Markov some people just enjoy moaning I think lol
Ignore the idiotic comments. Hunting is a way of life for many of us here in Canada, harvesting your own meat, in touch with Nature. I give you guys a lot of credit for taking part in this activity. To be honest, I really did not think there were many places left in the UK for hunting. Great video, and beautiful rugged country, much like my home here in Newfoundland. Keep the videos coming.
I love how you freaks always use phrases like 'in touch with nature' and 'in harmony' with nature. Why not have the decency to drop the word games and call it what it is? You want to CONTROL nature and I'm pretty sure that you get perverted feelings of empowerment by doing so. Just listen to the various failed attempts that the narrator makes to set himself up as the underdog. Pathetic! So, it's a FAIL for you with your little word game. You're the idiot!
David you'd rather get the hitmen in supermarkets to get your meat for you? Sicko.
Stupid fucking vigens and their nasty soybean bugers
You left wing nut jobs need to die and go to hell. Hunter's are the oldest
Perforion in the world thay faut wars sow u can have the right to say what u assholes say yes a lot of our boys in green are hunters to not to forget the cops to.
I'm from rural new York and hunting is the way we get meat and always have.this guys word choice like victim, and the blatant hatred for the sport was slightly annoying in this video but not a terrible shot from the city boy
@@davidconnelly again you can live in the city and eat your store bought vegan burgers made from soy that cost a ton and destroy good habitats for wild game but I'll stick to food that is good for me the environment and doesn't cost a ton.
Responsible hunting is the best form of conservation and contributes more to the preservation of many species and habitats than any other form. Culling is not murder. It removes the weak and old animals to ensure the health of the herd. In most parts of the world it is mans responsibility to control the population of deer to curb the risk of disease and starvation if their numbers get too high.
One stag is worth a £1000, how much of that goes back into the local economy and the preservation of the Highlands, where if it wasn't for hunting red deer it would probably be another sheep farm or commercial forestry. Hunting is an age old tradition and when practiced responsibly it is an ethical and rewarding pastime for you and your quarry.
Chris Britton in the U.S. there are a few dummies that are against hunting not realizing that the money we spend on licenses and taxes of sorts also help them have paths and what nots in the wild as well.
the kulling to controll the weak and old , bullshit ! if you like to hunt then do it dont make excuses for doing it , the Scotish forestry commision kill not kull , thousands of deer a year and leave them where they drop
@@tomhughes5123 that's because Brits would rather eat beef. Do your part and buy some venison.
@@tomhughes5123 yes the forestry commision slaughter deer which is wrong, but working deer forests don’t. They selectively cull old and weak animals. I’d be more annoyed about the RSPB shooting stags and leaving them to rot on the hill so they can feed sea eagles which doesn’t work because they’d rather take farmers lambs. Proper hunting is good for the environment.😊
Scottish scenery is some of the best in the world.
I live in Scotland and most things I see are just corner shops and dodgy houses
@@callummcgalliard1554 Well that's not the highlands is it
3:08 "when the morning came, the darkness had gone" this journalist has an amazing insight !
These Scot are not a “Tribe”, I would hope a documentary presenter would respect that please, there are living there way, so, I say again, respect that please
Welcome to the comments section of a hunting video, the most triggered place on the internet.
Tactical Pondy did you just call me triggered??? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I’d love to hunt in Scotland one day. The scenery is absolutely beautiful as well.
whent for my first time a couple months ago first time i had been hunting proporly beutiful
BB Breakdown how did you hunt u just had a rifle and went hunting?
@@r.i.pnoobgtagriefermykdmat9574 that’s how most people do it ye can’t use bows in Scotland just a rifle
Hunting is so much more ethical and environmentally friendly than store bought meat, having lived in the country and London and knowing people who go hunting, hunters are much more respectful and conscious of the natural environment then almost all the city dwellers I’ve met
"When the morning came, the darkness had gone..." SO TRUE
the guys no poet
Hunting. Far more ethical and environmentally friendly than store bought meat. I need to get into this.
do you still have this account and did you get into it
@@miljenko4209did you?
@@derschwereGustaf yes
@@miljenko4209 very nice, I did also about a year ago
"most traditional form of hunting in the world." Haha because hunting didn't exist before the 1800's right
this is one of the few vice video's where i can say i've been there. it's truly a beautiful place
You would think they would have shown them how to hold a shotgun properly because I didn't see ether of them put there face to the stock
The first kill is often the toughest/hardest to get over. Even more so if your from the city/ culture that does not cull their own meat for the table. Once that sence of reality is lost of growing and hunting ones own food perceptions and expectations are things become hazy and rather distorted. The main thing is to keep the mind open to experiences and to form your own genuine opinion. The shot was a good shot resulting in a clean kill. The animal did not die for the sake of being a trophy but was utalized in the fullest compasity so brovo to everyone involved for that. This always a nice short film, I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it. And happy hunting.
I hunt for sport and give meat to charity. I'm vegetarian myself. I shot my first turkey and deer when I was 12 years old.
Yay! Going on 3 good videos in a row. Good shit Vice.
"Wild Deer"
...Thank God they aren't hunting domesticated deer.
I like this guy. Entertaining to watch, doesn't take himself to seriously.
Good stuff.
BTW great video as always Vice.
As a hunter, it makes me proud to see that people understand we are conservationists.
wow...what a wimpy and grumpy wee urbanite. Very little respect for a place he knows so little about. And why, WHY does he "shoot the shit out of the river and sky"...would expect that from a child, not an adult presenting a documentary.
stfu, the dude is having fun, you can't own a fire arm in Britain so it was probably his first time, just cause he is shooting the sky or the ground it holds no difference then going to shoot something at the fire range
***** Yeah well my point still hold, he prob never had a gun or owned one and it prob his first time firing it.... So he was excited doing it, everyone condemns him for it, I find it fucking stupid
Søren Markov We can own a firearm with a liscense, same as the US. The difference is its much harder to get one
Shooting toward the sky is *very* different from shooting at a range. I know Europeans aren't typically accustomed to handling firearms, but this is something that should be common knowledge. What goes up, must come down. Never discharge a firearm in any direction that you're not 100% sure where the round is going to end up. Lots of accounts of people being killed by some asshole firing a gun "toward the sky," some up to a mile and a half away.
In the US, it's a felony.
Don't shoot the ground either, it will ricochet.
What you need is an angled berm designed to absorb projectile impacts. Go to a gun range.
I'm glad there's still a few ppl like you.
My generation is mostly blind to what lurks behind everything they use/eat/see
great video, thanks dice
Jeans?? While crawling around in the Scottish Winter, this is a real city guy!
Thank you for Vice, Mr. Smith.
"Now's the time." *TYEW* that was perfect.
'When the morning had come, the darkness had gone'...wow, deep man!
Are the hunting and gutting techniques the same or different from the one's you use in this video?
“Nature at our mercy” falls into stream
Didn't even press his cheek against the stock when he was shooting the clays 😂
Is there anywhere I can find the soundtracks to these videos, or at least track lists from them?
That last shot of the deer looking at them from the hill. Goosebumps.
I am not, depressed, angry, miserable, suicidal nor aggressive; I am in fact Scottish. It is a common misconception when meeting a Scottish person that we portray those negative traits, whereas we are generally a cheerful bunch. I was merely offering a constructive critique of the video with the fervent hope that the chief protagonist hones his skills and begins a fruitful journey into video journalism.
The English aristocracy introduce deer stalking in the 1850's? What a load of shit.
People have killed deer for hundreds of years stupid fake facts
+Lord Ollie - yeah people have killed deers for that long,but deer stalking specifically done like this was introduced in the 1800's,not too many people shot deer with guns in the 1300's
"Most important thing: don't shoot the dogs".
That had me in stitches.
Good form, lads.
that's what makes this video so funny to watch
This guy and his mates clearly know sod all about shooting and deer stalking in Scotland...
....just like most people.
I thought they kept their minds open, listened to what they were told, stayed positive and respectful and did a bang up job in the end.
Well done the Vice boys. Good to watch.
Would like to know what caliber rifle you are shooting, and perhaps the distance of the shot. Love the video. Scotland is gorgeous.
Hunting is the gentleman's game. Amazing.
06:01 "i was like terminator" lmfao XD
The UK might only be an island, but some parts of Scotland are still very remote
Vice has allways been like this.
beautiful landscape
WHEN THE MORNING CAME, THE DARKNESS HAD GONE
really
14:30 A tear for his deer.
I watched the firdt ten minutes with horror, you fell in the burn, couldn't get your cheek on the stock & peered down the muzzle of a closed gun...But.... you took a balanced view & summed up your stay very honestly.
Kudos to you boy...
Great Story Vice
I own 60 acres and have been hunting Whitetail for 30 years. I am a avid Grouse, Woodcock and duck hunter as well. I love bow hunting ans It's not as easy as you think. Don't go by what you see on T.V.
I wouldn't be using UK as an upstanding model; they may have very low gun-deaths, but they also have a violent crime rate higher than South Africa. The U.S has over 2.3 million defensive gun uses per year, and a violent crime rate nearly 1/4 that of the UK.
The loyal audience from Indonesia is always there, friends
Oh yes you are correct. I've had one since 2009, and even had some soft point ammo for it. I just need to get out there (after some hunters ed).
VICE rocks my little boy world
Is that red deer or red stags. We hunt them here in Australia. Got one last year with my remington model 700 in .300win mag.
Vice uses some dope ass music ... this intro music and FOB intro music is perfect
The head stalker dude seems like a chill guy.
Did you watch the video without any sound? The deer they kill goes to supermarkets.
'Worried that I might not fit in.' Hahahahahahaha Where does he think he's going? As a Scot, the portrayal of the highlands in this video is highly amusing.
I'm a Scot as well and to be fair i was quite pleased with the portrayal-seemed like the highlands I know and enjoyed. I'm sure if they went to Inverness they would have portrayed it differently
"I had a gun, so i shot the river and shot the sky, just to show mother nature who is boss." LMAO
Oh the land of my ancestors, I do so love you.
those dogs are faking awesome
That's quite funny, my ancestors were supposed to have been in Ardnamurchan :O
English Springer Spaniels and the Big grey ones are Irish Wolf hounds. Both are ancient British breeds.
So, a small country and cold weather are the reasons? Also, I don't know how big you think New Zealand is, but it's fairly large.
Tears in his eyes from the realisation he just ended the life of a living being. And of course the stress-relief after hours of building tension. I keep loving the vice features. Even though they ain't always about the most outrageous things anymore, they're still really good.
Cold air.
0:46 Get it?! NO-EYE-DEER!! hahahah...deer.
Good video
What month was this filmed?
couldnt help thinking of skyfall throughout this video lol
In Sweden it is allowed as well but it requires a new registration for it to be legal, the main purpose of having the suppressor on, is to prevent hearing damage on yourself and mainly the dogs that you hunt with.
haha at the master stalker slipping at 11:15
on top of that, people whom are required to join the military are also required to keep their weapons from the ages of 20 to 30+, which explains why Switzerland has such a high gun per head ratio.
Nice Swarovski optics.
i really enjoy hunting like this as im in south africa the landscape is quite different so the shots can be quite long but i much prefer eating the meat of an animal that has lived its life as intended. it ate when it wanted to ,fucked when it wanted to and roamed freely. taking a life is never easy and i understand how viscoius people can be on the subject but the truth is that single shot that dropped that animal and it took 40 seconds to die is actually far more humane than a slaughter house...if you want to argue the please read up on abbatior methods and see how disgusting your market meat is
I'm trying to find the song they play in the beginning! ahh
i had a gun, so i just started shooting the river and the sky just to show mother nature whos the boss hahaah
lol at the guy slipping 11:14
The most isolated part of mainland britian was a town in caithness called apple cross until when in 1960 they built one road. So considering that he was at a petrol station with people it is hardly isolated. I still prefer the scottish accent in particular Dingwall as its very deep.
I half expected the pellets to ricochet off the water and hurt someone when he shot the stream
i ate a bowl of cereal watching this
It wouldn't be interesting if it was just some guy who knew what he was doing. It's the experience in the learning attempt that's interesting to watch (specifically this video)
aaaaw those springer spaniels!!
No deer tags in Australia, and I would be going out into the bush either way - so I might as well get some venison from it.
If I don't get my deer? I can try again later.
We have game seasons that cover most of the year.
Cheers for that, made my dday. XD
The way he held the shot gun made me wince
It was just how it dropped, it was more of the atmosphere that was upsetting really
Teddy Roosevelt was an avid hunter, yet if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have any national parks in this country.
deosn't get cold, great fishing, decent hunting, the best football, great races. yeah, I can't think of many reasons to go to AL, the few I came up with in 15 seconds seem good enough.
does someone know the song in the beginning ? =) ( from 00.11 )
I love the satisfaction of catching a fish, taking it home and eating it. It's the idea of knowing where your food is coming from and knowing for a fact that it is fresh, i never really liked hunting but people are always giving me elk and deer meat, I love it. I also garden as much as I can so I have all kinds of fresh vegetables. I think more people should try ( to produce as much of their own food from sustainable methods as possible instead of grabbing frozen shit from fucking safeway.
"Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning."
the guy who did the video about the man living in Alaska is also good
11:14 Guy trips.. LOLO
traditional doesn't mean the oldest, it means it is the most original or unchanged form of hunting.
When he shot the animal, it was quite upsetting to witness. But it was also very interesting to learn and see it too.
Does anybody know where this is, i wouldn't mind visiting the area and do a bit of hunting?
Literally says in the title lol
I have a feeling that you weren't hugged enough as a child.
Is that a silencer on the gun?
Throwback to when Vice actually did nuanced, interesting shows and not pure far left propaganda.
What was the catalyst for the transformation?
How the hell did he get the thousand yard stare from that? Shoots one deer, looks like he just came back from a tour in Nam.
😂
