Feels like I have everything and a few to many things when hunting, but always when watching your videos I somehow end up buying more stuff anyway! ;) Great video as always, we been longing for this one.
Bro im so jelous everytime i watch ur videos im always like man u must live an amazing life also ur trio group is just golden love your vids keep up the good work🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow… I missed it… already 8 days. I was waiting your video for long time. Last 2 weeks was very busy. At last I watched it. Love ❤️ it. Great to see you guys are ok after the lock down. I’m Ready for part 2……and more
Hello sir that is a amazing trip, I have a question for you if I can, i want to buy same rifle like yours, but I see on bergara website, the premier mountain 2.0 don't have a threaded barrel for suppressor, and I see your bergara have one, the question is if you buy the rifle with the threaded or you make it, Thanks 👍
New subscriber and excited to have found your channel! I haven't heard you mention anything of bears or other predators to be concerned about. I live in the US and am not familiar with this area. Just curious.
The only things us kiwis can hunt are all introduced 🤣🤣 the only natives we have are birds that are pretty harmless. No bears, no snakes, no mountain lions, no poisonous spiders/insects... the most dangerous thing is an angry pig or slipping down a bank
When I see you hunting video I think it's. Me I am also a hunter I also killed bull thar and white mountain sheep Please reply my comment my boss of hunters..so much love for you.....❤️
Seems to me that maybe they should sell hunts for these animals rather then cull operations much like places like Africa as a means of population control and use the funds generated to preserve the habitat the animals live in. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 so without doing any research I have to ask do these animals have a set season to be hunted and if so why would cull operations be performed during the time that hunters are in the area. I’d be pretty pissed after paying for a helicopter to take me into a area only to have it culled while I’m there hunting. From what I know of these culls from other sources there’s no discrimination young, old, male, female and trophy class animals all laid to waste. I understand you have no predators ( and likely don’t want theme )and this is population control however it’s seems a more profitable solution could be found and one that maybe protects areas where trophy class animals can be hunted and not culled. I can’t imagine classing a trophy animal and just as your staring your stock a helicopter comes in and culls it while your making your move.
Other sources can provide some facts before expressing strong opinions, repeating fabrications or ignorance isn't complimentary. There is a management plan for the species, mismanaged by most involved given the population has risen from the nominal 10,000 (there are specific area levels) in 1994 to between 30 & maybe 50 000. Shows most hunters are way out of their depth, not wanting'/able to contribute usefully. Misinformation by either liars or incompetents prevails, with extremist agenda influence from both environmental protection and hunting groups. Culling operators self interest (& egos) has contributed to the failure to meet the plan's standards (3-5x excess population isn't success, and their efforts have caused other major problems). Unlikely to change much either, egos and hunting can easily go hand in hand whether professional or recreational without sound oversight. Much room for improvement exists. And speculation, using selective information that is wildly inaccurate doesn't help. The culls are mostly leaving the trophy bulls except in the highest environmental valued areas, so those who will get off their snatch have plenty of scope. And you don't need a licence in NZ, just a free permit (or owners consent for private land) and firearms licence.
@@johnmead8437 no I didn’t repeat any ignorance. Simply asked if selling hunts at an affordable rate would help with population control and repairing habitat, as well as create local employment and revenue in local communities. As well I expressed that having a cull operation in the area you flew into Hunt would be very upsetting ( for the hunter ). Most of what I know of NZ hunting has come from videos produced by hunters from NZ and Australia hunting there so if I got my facts wrong you’ll have to take that up with the producers of these videos. So no speculation just repeating what has been produced by your fellow country men. Hell I’ve even seen Canadian Geese being shot in NZ with high power rifles. ( as they are a evasive species ). In Canada 🇨🇦 that is highly illegal and will land your ass in jail. Different laws different countries. So that’s why I asked. As well common sense tells us when you release animals into a food rich environment with no means of population control other then man the population is going to explode as man has a way of screwing shit up. I have seen examples of this here in my own country with the introduction of Moose into NFLD where there numbers are 3 to 1 moose population vs human population. Studies have shown that eventually there numbers will drop due to destruction of there own environment and food source. In other words they will starve to death. The same fate of death by starvation has already hit our woodland caribou population as they follow the same migration paths year after year and there food source takes decades to replenish itself and much has been destroyed by logging and oilfield production. We also have our own cull operations to control CWD however these are carried out in the off hunting season ( as we have set seasons to hunt ) and are performed based on head submissions sent in by hunters for testing. You call others ignorant when it’s your own ignorance that has lead to the release and over population of evasive animal populations as most all game was introduced to NZ and not native to your island. 😂😂. Yes our moose is native to Canada but was never native to the island of NFLD. It was introduced, left to populate with no natural predators ( all had been killed off in NFLD many years before ) by the time man stepped back into the pitcher the damage was already done. As is usually the case nothing is done till someone calls you out on the miss management. Now we hunt and eat them and sell expensive hunts to Americans that are interested in nothing more then a head to hang on there wall and bragging rights to a mostly BS story they tell there friends back home. 😂😂. Honestly my only concern would be for the hunter having his hunt destroyed by a cull operation. That’s ignorance at its highest level. Good day mate. 😂😂😂
Introduced mammals cause various environmental problems in NZ. Professional hunters were employed since protection was removed when the pest status of these pests was recognised (1930s) and hunters couldn't control their numbers. In the 1960s wild animal recovery for game meat export was developed (buy NZ venison!! it's eco friendly and quality), and this became lucrative and like the wild west due to open competition for the animals. Helicopters were introduced to access remote places and rapidly became used for shooting platforms and recovering the carcasses. And the pests (now valuable) were significantly reduced. The tahr favoured high open country, and were susceptible to this, being reduced dramatically (finding one was difficult in many places in the early 1980s). Those markets are limited now, and the Conservation authority (DoC) again use helicopters to reduce the numbers (hunters don't do this, how many videos can you find of most tahr seen being shot). Tahr can keep out of sight well, so when most hunters can even find them plenty exist, and they have been made warier by amateur shooters (including most aerial cullers and trophy hunters) doing their best. There is a Thar control plan (Department of Conservation website), it's failed to date and cost $millions and enabled tahr to devastate alpine vegetation in many areas.
It is just a lovey day when je wild uploads a video
I hope you guys are doing well with Covid! These videos are always amazing and make me just wanna get out there myself. You're living the dream!

Awesome stuff! 👌
Excellent video really enjoyed it fantastic quality 😊👌, do they shoot them from the helicopter?
Love your videos, hoping to make it over there someday. Quick? Why are they culling the tahr, are their to many of them ?
What model are you using for leupold scoping scope?Thank you guys GREAT Video
Love your hunting ever thought of taking some out with you who has never been there
Pity about the cull chopper but great adventure as always team
I'm watching this in Darwin and it's about 30° but I wish I was there ! 👍
Watching from Nepal ❤
what type of rifle do you use
Hope you have fun
JE what packs are you guys using in this episode?
Love your adventures.
what kind of weapon is that, how much does it cost?
New subscriber and excited to have found your channel! I haven't heard you mention anything of bears or other predators to be concerned about. I live in the US and am not familiar with this area. Just curious.
Theres literally no predators to the deer and thar which is the reason there population is so high..
@@nzoutdoors5587 there's no predators to anything here
@@graysmith4278 Thats what i said before......
The only things us kiwis can hunt are all introduced 🤣🤣 the only natives we have are birds that are pretty harmless. No bears, no snakes, no mountain lions, no poisonous spiders/insects... the most dangerous thing is an angry pig or slipping down a bank
@@fisheatrepeat Haha pretty safe country
sooooo goooooddddd!
What did ya say happened to that Tar next to the water?
epic man!
Best gears hunt 🥰
Very good hunting place...
I like your haunting place ❤
Nice
How much does it cost for a helicopter drop off and pickup?
Been waiting for you guys to turn up 2022...
LESH GØ !!! 😜 🤘😎
I’d have to train for a year for a hunt like this. I’m a flat lander.
what did he say at 7:32, the animal was a ____ victim? Is it a virus or parasite?
Culled by the Department of Conservation
It's a tarh cull victim
Nyc bro 😍 I love Hunt
Nice video of nice people.
Why are they shooting them from the helicopter?
They are way overpopulated, an invasive & very destructive pest that is also valued by hunters.
I wish I could still hunt but unfortunately I'm on probation and also waiting on a new heart
Vidio yg sangat menarik buat di tonton
niceeee
👍👍🇦🇷🇦🇷 desde Argentina
♥
I'm like that's life Vere TOOOP
When I see you hunting video I think it's. Me
I am also a hunter I also killed bull thar and white mountain sheep

Can someone explain the chopper bit to a European (from a flat country? They 'just' shoot them? I hope for population management and not for fun....

Why not make hunting more accessible instead of sending helicopters out to slaughter animals?
