@@takisd143 Nothing wrong in using a chopper as it seems you are on your own , so if you slip and get injured the pilot knows approximatly where you are and and if you can not make the pick time he will alert help, alone you are wise to use a chopper good hunting in the future
Total respect to you JE Wilds i love what you are doing promoting educating old and young hunters along the way. I resently talked with Gerald Fluerty my good friend from National Park . I am originally from Rotorua but live here in Qld where we used to do guided hunts mainly on Red stags. Three years ago after covid i returned home to film /hunt Sambar deer unfortunately i had a fall and did a bit of damage to my old body. Present day im semi disabled , but that hasn't stopped or held me back from my passion Wild Deer Photography . Believe it or not but you are an inspiration to me as i could never do what you do along with Joe Fluerty. So heads up please continue what you are doing i look forward to your next adventure bro, kind regards Rob Harvey Wild Images Australia 😊
Hey Joe you have inspired me to go out and hunt man. I always hear you say the reason you make videos is to inspire other with your hunts. Just wanted to appreciate you mate for all your hard work and dedication! Cheers!
I would really like to see how you break down the beast and get it home. I can imagine the UA-cam rules can be a bit difficult with things like that though.
Thank you. I'm too old to hunt anymore, but really enjoying watching you getting out there amongst it. Just loved that you were patient enough to wait until the next day for that stag. Not many guys would be that that careful to make sure of the shot. Great example to young hunters. The scenery is stupendous, your filming is very professional. Just a pleasure to watch. Thank you again. Cheers.
Incredible hunt, J! Your expertise and dedication shine through in every shot. The way you strategize and patiently wait for the perfect moment to take down that stag is impressive. This video is not just about hunting; it's about respect for nature and the thrill of the chase. Well done
You really take us on a journey. I am from SOUTH AFRICA , some of the best hunting in the world but I now think NZ in those mountains is most definitely the best 👌
As always love your post. You are among the first I have been following since I started hunting . I have learnt a lot from you and still doing as there is no end to learn new things . Cheers
Fantastic video, Joe. I love the content and the respect you show on all your films. It would have been interesting to see how you got the stag back up to camp and store it before the end of the trip. Regards from the UK.
I’d love to hear more stories about how brutal packing out all the meat is in your post video vlogs. Love your content!! Sending respect and good vibes from Texas!
Doesn’t matter where you are in the mountains, when you have a scree chute like that, the angle is always the same. It’s steep and it’s tough going. And don’t start sliding cuz you don’t know when you’ll be able to stop. Beautiful animal, for sure.
That was awesome video Loved every moment. The country the scenery. Great voice overs great pictures. I know we have had to wait for sometime for these videos, but I truly think. This year’s hunting videos are next level.
Man such a great ep! I love the Roars over there this was my third year, cannot wait for next year. Your videos are keeping me Keen over here in aus ! Thanks JE
Big hullo from Canada! Going hunting for the first time this year, your content has been one of my favorites in all my research / prep and got me most excited to get out and start doing it myself. Obviously different conditions where I'm at, but doesn't mean I can't take anything away from your experiences! And maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to hunt in NZ as well. Cheers!
Sketchy aye! The gopro just didn't do it just with how steep that was. Crazy to think I had long spikes on my feet in the shape of a crampon and still slipped! I'm hoping your youtube channel is all about hunting for coffee, haha that sounds like my type of channel
@@j.e.wilds-hunting That stuff with a layer of ice under the surface scree was something that used to make one pucker a bit. Encountering it when running across such places that get partial sun isn't nice. Especially if you have to go back the same way.
Totally agree bro those big boys are definitely worth waiting for. I finally managed my first big 12 point old boy this roar after years of hunting. Another great episode brother 🤙🤙
Loving the vids! Especially your skill regarding how you talk to the camera! It genuinely makes us all feel like we’re on the mountain with you! As for one of your future “Outros”… how about unpacking what to look for in a good set of Binos? What magnification is best? And what field of view? Do the Binos really need a range finder? Etc, etc….
European glass. Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski etc. Look after the lenses religiously, & don't lend them. 8x is good, if competent & able to keep steady up to 12x can be used. Size & weight matter when on the hill. 10 x 40s are a good compromise, bigger lenses give a few minutes more in poor light. Quality gear costs. And much of the stuff salesmen experts peddle isn't that good, we like cheap or overpriced & easy. Range finders are good to have. But encourage long range shooting. Many animals are limping about or have died miserably due to that fad. They get edited. (It's easy to miss at close range also).
Great video as always man, it's next level 👌, but only criticism I have is would like to see more of the antlers after the shot, I found it such a huge build up and then such a short clip of the trophy was almost disappointing, I wanted to marvel at its glory alot longer. But again awesome video, keep up the great work 👍
Thanks mate and I will try for the future hunts, for me it doesn't generally cross my mind to film much of that but it's real good feedback! The antlers are hanging up in the Helirural hanger if your in Canterbury
@@j.e.wilds-hunting The measurements would be interesting. It's interesting seeing how the animals & country has evolved through the decades, including the antlers. Bruce Banwell's books are an interesting record for comparing the pre commercial period, & the current. The releasing of farm bred deer to "improve" the wild stuff is a pet peeve, the local herds each have their own traits that make them interesting, & despite the hammering they got when worth a dollar those traits survived. Overpopulation is probably due to seriously reduce quality again. As it did when the Acclimatisation Societies managed it like the GAC want to, restrictions and ecological damage & Adern-like ideals.
Epic vid man! Can’t wait for the next episode. Can relate to that minor heart attack you have when your animal isn’t quite in the spot you think it dropped 😂
Put a pin in the map of DoC open hunting land south of Auckland should have a good chance of hitting pest infested hunting opportunities. An hour into the bush/hills etc probably has plenty. Still have to find them, they are wild animals & don't want to get shot at. And more animals means more eyes & ears.
The adventure is the best part. The country you rock around in, is so awesome. Definitely inspirational. Makes me just want to grab my Bagara and head for the hills too. Keep up the great work bro 👊🏻
I have that same Eberlestock Mainframe and the vapor 5000 and batwings. How did it do packing it out? Did you take one quarter at a time? Ive never packed an animal out yet
You’re getting some free gains on them hills mate. Well done on another film. I appreciate you taking us along on your journey. I would like to see what tools you use to process your deer on the out take. Thank you
Awesome! What a stag! I’ve hunted my backyard mountains in Norway for a few years and been close to nice stags. Fingers crossed for a giant this fall. Inspiring watching your channel. Stay safe ✌️
Hey Joe , I just LOVE your Hunting and Fishing Videos ..... I too am an Outdoorsman ...Lol . I Fish mostly Lures , topwater. Thanks a lot . Bradley from South Africa
This is awesome. Thanks for the vids so far. I was kinda interested in hunting before and been dragging my heals studying for my Core. I'll probably get to that by the end of the year. Just waiting on my PAL for now. Looks like a lot of fun and the reward from hard work on a successful hunt too.
I was considering Bagara along with Fierce Arms. I bought the 300 Winmag. Very light and very accurate. Watching you shoot the Bagara has me thinking. Possibly a 6.5 Creedmoor. Great hunt!
Hi from Scotland. What I like about your videos, is that you’re a real true and ethical Hunter out there doing it and taking us along with you
With the aid of a helicopter

@@michaelopare1412 I've been chompin at the bit !!!
Just gotta say, thanks for your content, it's motivated me to get off my backside and out hunting in the local forest parks.
Incredible hunt, J! Your expertise and dedication shine through in every shot. The way you strategize and patiently wait for the perfect moment to take down that stag is impressive. This video is not just about hunting; it's about respect for nature and the thrill of the chase. Well done

All depends what your hunting for
As always love your post. You are among the first I have been following since I started hunting . I have learnt a lot from you and still doing as there is no end to learn new things . Cheers
How does he get the Stag home? Does the helicopter take the whole animal or something? Theres no way he gets that stag back to his tent
Mate lost for words. What a hunt what a stag what an adventure can't wait to see more.
These videos absolutely never disappoint, another brilliant video so keen for the next one. 26:55
Ahhh. The excitement of a real hunter! I can tell how pumped you get. Damn I love hunting. Thanx for the super fun vids!
your videos are inspiring mate, love the video
Awesome Country Joe and a cracking stag it doesn't get much better than that.
Another masterpiece bro. Can't wait for the next hunting adventure you bring for our viewing pleasure. Inspirational!!!
What a thumper! - grouse country and a great watch as always!
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
Great job mate - self filming ain't easy and you're making it look so good. Pro shots, Pro audio. High level production. Thank you

Man such a great ep! I love the Roars over there this was my third year, cannot wait for next year. Your videos are keeping me
Keen over here in aus ! Thanks JE
Currently 110 F (43.3 C) in Montana wish I was hunting in the snow right now. Definitely looks like a bucket list hunt
So excited brother can’t wait
Congrats on 250k bro 👏
Absolutely epic video Joe, congrats. Can't wait for the next ones on both channels 👏🍻
Wicked trip again man!! Love both the hunting and fishing, honestly your videos are top notch
Great video, can't wait to see how you went on all the other hunting trip this roar 👍

Awesome vid Joe and thanks Hunting and Fishing. I really hope this effort you are putting in translates to some real numbers for the channel.
Absolutely loving having JE Wilds back on the agenda!! See you on the next one! 😁🦌
Viewer from Denmark. Love your videos. You have such a different landscape than we do. It is awesome to see.
Just stumbled across your channel, and wow what a ripper. The filming and dedication to making the best possible videos is unreal 👏
Luv the show
Too old to hunt now but watching your stuff is almost as good as being there
Keep it up
Epic video mate and epic old stag!
Amazing work for a solo mission bro. The camera work and editing is next level.
Awesome old Stag! Great video!
(😂when you slipped on that ridge, I fell off my bed!! Gemini Crickets, man!! Don't do that! Lol)

Great work loved it..
Really enjoy your content man. Even my 2 boys are into watching your channel.
sooooo good to have you back keep up the good work
Another great video bro from Florida !!!!
Very inspiring videos love watching them, well done
makes my day when i see Joe post keep them coming
Thanks bro!
@@j.e.wilds-hunting all good mate glad to see you out there doing it 🤙🏼
@@j.e.wilds-hunting hey quick question what region are most of ur hunts based in
Did an amazing job capturing everything and still hunt! Skill level goated brother keep it up 🤙🏽
Totally agree bro those big boys are definitely worth waiting for. I finally managed my first big 12 point old boy this roar after years of hunting.

Sick video bro, looking forward to the fishing. Man be good chilling with you guys fishing always looks like so much fun.

Another one bites the dust! Pretty cool stalk on this old boy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The best creator on this platform
Always awesome content mate! Best UA-cam out there 👌
Awesome stag. How do you pick your hunting locations?
Put a pin in the map of DoC open hunting land south of Auckland should have a good chance of hitting pest infested hunting opportunities. An hour into the bush/hills etc probably has plenty. Still have to find them, they are wild animals & don't want to get shot at. And more animals means more eyes & ears.
Scotty probably tells him where he sees big animals and drops him in there
Absolutely awesome hunt Joe! Can’t wait to see more!
I have been waiting for this vid a lot! Respect man
Man your contents unreal. I finish school in Aus next year and first on the bucket list is a hunt like this
Awesome mate!! Enjoyed.
The adventure is the best part. The country you rock around in, is so awesome. Definitely inspirational. Makes me just want to grab my Bagara and head for the hills too.
Keep up the great work bro 👊🏻
Where the fuck is the adventure when hunting a deer with a 50k dollars equipment?
nice video broskki
Awesome hunt ,incredible high country down there.great to be along following you .
Epic as always! Great big ol stag great work!
Nice stag, Joe. Love your channel and the hunts.
Cheers mate
Always stoked to see a new upload on your channel👌
Big Waidmannsheil from Germany!! Really enjoying your videos 😍
I have that same Eberlestock Mainframe and the vapor 5000 and batwings. How did it do packing it out? Did you take one quarter at a time? Ive never packed an animal out yet
@JEWilds1-t3v I'm sorry, I'm not following. Is there another platform I need to ask this question on or something?
Awesome video joe
Love watching your shows.
Beauty Hunt thus far Brother 🎉 JE Wilds done it again

NICE HUNT, I can relate to your feelings going down the mountain with all small rocks sliding down. Congrsts
Love the videos mate Gday from Australia definitely have given me inspiration
Great video sir. Amazing adventures you have had!
