I bloody love your videos Peter. Gradually over time I’ve stepped back from really analysing the area and focus on deer. As a result the amount of spooked animals increased 10 fold. Even though you know, sometimes hearing it is important. The penny has dropped and I will be back into the sign finding and analysing rubs wallows and surrounds
The Victorian ADA hunter education course, that started at Rawson and still continues, has certainly helped a lot of deer hunters on their journey. Now 06 was a long time ago. I think I had more hair then! Regards and good hunting.
G’day Peter,very insightful information about the habits and movement of Sambar stags up the bush.As deer hunters we should also try and practice off hand shooting more and more. Thanks for sharing your valuable information.Cheers,Rob.
Hi Jetty, my experience with callers is limited and I do not try to call sambar but use them as a tool to try and hold them when they bark at me. Or to keep them calling. I don't believe I have sufficient experience to do an instructional video. Regards Peter.
Great vid, thanks mate. Have you figured out any sort of strategy for finding cast antlers? Or do you just get lucky every now and then and come across them?
Hi Gavin. How I love those words: get lucky. I have a reasonable collection of cast antlers, although I don't specifically search for them. I think, for me it is due to two reasons. When I'm walking in the bush I am always looking ahead and planning where I will walk and paying close attention to the ground cover. This along with the ability to recognize portions of an antler at a glance combined with luck, is my technique.
Rob calling me a legend has become the subject of good-hearted banter between us. I have reminded Rob that a legend can be a myth with no basis in fact or a fable.
Hey I got a 700 acer bush block I hunt private of course I would be more tnen happy yo share it with you if you gave me some tips as I been trying to find a massive stag fir ages and cant😊
Now Flex, that is a very tempting offer but...... The quest for a massive stag is a bit like the dream to win tatsloto. But unlike tatsloto, dedication, perseverance and a bit of luck will eventually lead to the prize. The focus as I said in the video is; I know you are here; I am going to find you! Then one needs some luck and to shoot true and straight. You can always pm me via facebook. Although I am sometimes out of reach for long periods. No internet coverage in the mountains.
How ya going peter onother good informative video we never stop learning interesting on subject on antler rubbing where i myself have taking not so mature stags that hav rubbed out like that can only wonder very sexually active that year 😊 therefor maybe leaving bigger stags very dominant and less to fight for thanxs for putting video together more work than hunting alone . 😂 Rosco
Good, thanks Rosco. Mike Harrison who ran the ADA Bunyip Sambar study pen, put the excessive rubbing by subordinate stags down to frustration. I didn't mention it in the video; it's not always the stag with the biggest antlers that is dominant. It is the meanest and toughest on the block. Regards Peter
It’s awesome when experienced fellas such as your self, share your knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you Daniel.
This is pure gold. Thank you for imparting this detailed, in-depth knowledge.
Thank you, R.M.
Appreciate your time Pete, very informative cheers 🍻 👍🦌
No problems Rob, I enjoy making them.
Cheers Pete getting back to the basics of sign reading 👍 it’s where it starts
Hi Matt, sign is a great indicator. But the temptation is to spend too much time looking at and for sign instead of looking for the deer.
Thanks for sharing Peter. A long time ADA member, I've always enjoyed listening to your experience and years of Sambar knowledge .
Thank you for your kind words.

Nathan, the trick is to keep our nose out of the ground and see them first. Thank you for the compliment and good hunting.

@@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq makes sense, thanks for that. It sure is a good rush when you lock into one 👌🏽
Sure is Gavin. But then the search is on for the second one!
Now I understand why
Rob Fickling referred to you as the one and only Sambar “hunting legend” on beyond the divide.
