While hunting or tramping I love the sudden exciting sight of red deer in beige tussock, during summer when the deer coats are their deep orange colour, and also summer chamois are a beautiful deep fawn colour, with the black stripe down the backbone, and their black face mask, and they too stand out strikingly in the beige tussock during summer. Both species have quite differently-coloured hides during winter, as you know, and do not stand out so markedly in the winter alpine landscape. Good video. I hunted plenty, and worked for NZFS in the South Island alpine during the 1970s and 80s. Shame that the place is going to be 1080ed , but clearly from your video, not enough hunting, so, there is an overabundance of deer there, so the 1080 will simply control them and then they will bounce back soon enough. Keep up the hunting, guys.
@@WildNZOutdoors as expected Chris, top notch. Matty's stag is an absolute cracker, that "farm stag" also had a mad head. Really nice location and a real honey hole of heads. Have you been back since the 1080 drop?
EPIC, just an absolute epic mission fellas do the hard yards, get the rewards!, enjoyed every moment watching it, stunning scenery indeed, those hills dont get any flatter the older we get either!, absolute shame it got poisoned, have you seen or heard how its knocked the numbers at all in there?, cheers fellas, greg
Cheers for the comment Greg. The 1080 has hit it very hard. previously as you can see but the video there was good amounts of deer in there and had reports of only 2 deer sighted last trip in there. Such a shame as the blood lines running through there were amazing and the place was starting to produce some amazing trophies! Hopefully it bounces back.
Thanks mate, Owen had an off day missing a stag and spooking a cham. He then bailed out a day before us. I have some great bow hunting footage coming up where owen redeems himself. Keep an eye out! Cheers
Liked it? Absolutely loved it. Great video. Well earned stag
@@TheBighorn1 thanks man, really appreciate the comment.
Cheers
