Really appreciate the time, effort and quality of your content Joe. Looking forward to this season and the new format with the outro is a great way to wrap the vid. Cheers
great content i listen to your podcast, i lost my grandfather two years ago. he was a hunter from central north island listening to you reminds me of him and all his stories thankyou 😃also great clear shots your camera is great !!
Thanks for sharing this epic journey and reminding us all of the rewards that come with persistence and passion. Can’t wait to see what’s next on your channel!
love every second of this post . It was like watching a movie where you dont want to miss a blink . Good on you, keep to it up , you are are an inspiration of many
Awesome vid mate and what an epic animal. I’ve only just begun my hunting journey, recently doing a beginner hunting course. Lots to learn but can’t bloody wait. I’ll have to get over to NZ on a hunt one day!
Thanks man and thats cool to hear your getting into it, last time we spoke you mentioned you were interested to learn, I will see you here one day no doubt
Glad to hear it mate that's awesome, yeah I generally spend 6 months or so filming for this channel and have just started to release the videos I've filmed so far. Say hi to your boys for me
Absolutely stoked you’re back hm pumping out the Vids for all us lads back in Oz reminiscing on old hunts and planning future hunts 🫡🫶🏼 Scotty from HeliRural producing the goods again. A buddy and myself used his services last year and were stoked with his services and will be using him again next year for the roar 🙏🤙🏼. Keep it up bro
Good to see a JE video pop up on my feed! always loved the JE WILDS hunting and fishing hats. Went to NZ recently and popped in with fingers crossed to find one, but no luck. Loved the place
Hope you refueled your creative batteries while taking a break for your last film/edit Joe. Good to see you back again with a stonka vid. These self film/hunts are hard work.
I did things a little differently this year, I have filmed all my season's content and now going to edit them all together. Instead of editing in between hunts. This time I smashed out all the filming back to back and now time to create the films. I hope your going well bro, it was probably 15 years ago when we were on the hunt forums together aye
Love the channel! One day, I will get to New Zealand to hunt. Living in the US, it is fun to watch the diversity of animals that NZ has to offer. The hunts look amazing, as does the landscape. Love it all
This channel is my favorite hunting channel for sure. Amazing country you have there. I am excited to hear more about this season. Thanks for the quality content!
What a great shot and a well deserved and earned monster stag. Can’t wait to see the West Coast hunt. Really admire your determination to achieve success
Hey Joe, absolutely awesome video, hanging for the mini series now but in saying that all your videos are exceptional 🍻 hope Katherine and bubs are going great👏👏
You put together a first class show/video. Huge kudos to you! So envious of what you do, and where you do it. I’ve hunted here in Canada for the last 25 yrs, taken some nice animals, just wished I could have started earlier when I still had the physical ability. Looking forward to this season coming in Sept, most of it will be in Nov. Got an elk, a moose, and Whitetail and Muledeer tags.
Does anyone else hold their breath when Joe's about to pull the trigger or is it just me haha Awesome vid mate. Looking forward to the next one !! (Outro is a great idea too!)
Wow! Very cool trip! I have hunted and fished my whole life. Your hunts help me re-live my hunting and fishing trips and bring back so many memories! I have been in Hawaii for 20 yrs., Idaho for 25 yrs., Alaska for 5 yrs., and now am in Washington state for the last 12 yrs.. I say you gotta build memories!!! Thanks for sharing yours and doing what you do!🤙🔥 BTW Good to see the family. At the rate that kid is growing, it will soon be able to tag along with you and Katherine cause I took my 2 girls and even now in their late 30's they mention those days with a smile on their face... Good job and keep up the good work! I love your story telling way. Looking forward to the next one... always!!
Theres plenty more on the way, I know ive been slow on the uploads but ive been filming my hunts since March to get a good backlog of footage. Now its the editing time!
So stoked to see the stag videos are back! Planning for my first hunt ever this year, I appreciate all the tips you include along with the effort that goes into these videos! On a side note, do you ever show the process of packing the stag out? With your pack filled for a days worth of goods i'm curious how you fit that large of animal into the pack. Does it take multiple trips or is there a technique to fit all the meat without needing an empty pack? Keep up the great work Joe, another amazing video! Cheers!
Thanks man I appreciate it! I dont show the video of me processing any meat as yt does not like that type of footage which sucks! Generally it takes me multiple loads for the meat but if its a colder time of year I space those loads out over a couple days
Brilliant video, exceptional detail of NZ's wilderness. And what a stag! Back straps must have been close to 1mtr long (each). Really appreciate your commentary, isn't too much, great you dont have music blaring, just good natural sounds in the hills. Well done!
Wow, your content is nothing short of amazing and getting better each video.. you need to consider coming to Aus to hunt the mighty sambar, keep up the great work..JE wilds😎
Man hearing that intro made me so happy, missed the vids brother and can't wait for all these new projects you got coming up! Getting me hyped for getting out and doing more photography every time I see a video!
I much enjoy your videos JE. Hunting has changed quite a bit since I hunted in the 1960s and 70s when there was no internet, no digital photography, no cell phones, no voicemail, no GPS, no range-finders, no LED lights, no locator beacons, and very very few helicopters flew recreational hunters around. We hunters tramped for days sometimes to get into remote blocks, and then usually had no communications with the outside world because 2-way radios back then were heavy beasts needing heavy long wire aerials, all of which most hunters did not bother with. My NZ hunting memoir RED DEER WRITING has recently become available in a NZ-edited, NZ-published (by Opaoa Publishing), 2023 edition, available from all NZ book shops, and if they don’t have it in stock they will order it for you.
I can see why that big stag that got scared off by the plane got so big, that is some gnarly country in there. Awesome to see young animals with a lot of potential too, that bigger spiker had some serious length to him. Great result in the end, awesome public land warrior.
Hi Joe, another epic video, love the way and locations that you hunt in. The podcasts are top draw too. Ive been to your beautiful country, but alas didn't hunt. When I return I definitely will. The hunting and fishing stores are amazing too. Got my hoodie that I wear all the time fishing. Keep up the amazing work. Stay safe man. Jamie, England.
Great video. Glad your back we haven’t seen a hunting clip for a long time. Hope the family is well. You’re 100% spot on with back packs. I personally went with exo k3 a couple of years ago. Took me a year to pick one. Why? Because of the 💵, now I don’t regret it. Just come back from NZ, did a wildness tahr hunt. 👍 Guided “The Hype of the Hunt”. Your spot on listen to what your guides says. I also went to hunting and fishing Kaikōura store. Think it was Anton store? What a top bloke. You guys in NZ don’t know how lucky you are. Keep them videos coming.
mate grab some of the coffee satchels by Marcona they have the milk etc all freeze dried in (unless you like it black) come in latte and cappuccino. they also have caramel latte. THE ABSOLUTE BOMB!!
I was missing your vids, good to see a new one.....obviously a good hunt is a day or 4, but the time to edit and produce the finished video must be a huge amount of hours!. My wifey is from Hari Hari and that's where I hunt for my animals....really looking forward to the upcoming West Coast episodes mate.
Man, I've waited so long for this video and it didnt disappoint. Bloody awesome mate. Would love to get a closer look at that big boy you couldn't get to, he looked epic.
Greetings from Sausalito, California. Breathtaking beauty in those mountains. My Northern Calif hunting environment is very different, but many thanks for taking me along on your hunt. I learned, again, the virtue of patience. What GPS do you use to trackback to your camp and landing site?
Chuuuur mean to see you back in your habitat😂😂😂 it's funny how I was just whinging to my wife about no new JEWILD vids... but in saying that in that moment, Nek minute BOOM new vid up....
Wow magnificent animal bro congratulations! Massive work put in, bet that was a sweet sleep that night . Can’t wait see rest of season, appreciate everything you bring to the hunting community I wish more shared the same view and values ! Good luck for rest of 2024 season 🤙🏻⛰️
Welcome back!! Have been missing the hunting episodes 👌 you've definitely put the NZ hunting trip on my bucket list! I just need to go back and tick off the great white dive, then I'll be booking a trip. Cheers!

Haha was seeing a few reels on instagram and wondered if you were back. Been hanging out for your videos. Love your style and enthusiasm. Looking forward to the season 🤙🤙
Love watching your videos as someone who doesn't have access to the landscape you have. Would also love to see how you strip and move the stag after it's been shot (if youtube allows it)
Love your work Mr JE wild. Love the channel. Love the content and respect you show to each animal. And big love and congratulations on becoming a father. It’s Best job in the whole world. Curious what grain pill you run in the 300WM? I have the same calibre and scope on Sauer classic 101 so definitely keen to come over and hunt with it in NZ soon. Appreciate your help. Thanks again
Really enjoyed that mate, and great message at the end about motivation for others. Cheers for the effort to film these videos in such rugged terrain.
Really appreciate the time, effort and quality of your content Joe. Looking forward to this season and the new format with the outro is a great way to wrap the vid. Cheers
Thanks mate yeah I wondered if people would like the outro or not, I will try it a few times and see what the feedback is

Awesome stag with great character Joe. Some great, but tough looking country too. Looking forward to the upcoming series.
Thanks mate yeah it was steep country aye but that fog was the real challenge
He has an impressive ability to stay quiet and still for long periods, a crucial skill in hunting.
Loved it man! Quality video right there! looking forward to what's coming up!
Fantastic video, wild scenery! Bucket list hunt for sure! Not many people know the effort self filming a hunt, never mind in terrain like this! 👍🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
Another solid episode, has been well worth the wait!!!
