    Brother , you live a most amazing life. I can say first hand that you a tremendously privileged to have such pristine wilderness at your disposal. A real life garden of Eden without the large predators to compete with. You’re very blessed and I hope you decide to have a son or adopt a young man to pass on the knowledge and lifestyle. Consider becoming a foster parent to a teen who needs the peace and stability of a mellow man like yourself and the healing power of nature and physical strength he’d build running a trap line with a back pack.

    Been hunting with only a Bow for meat for 40 yrs, you are on to it..I found dive boots & camo on face ( charcoal ) were a game changer..when I started we made our own camo, because you could not buy it..Shot a wild Boar last month as he attacked our boar George Kune..standing in our bedroom, through open window, 40 mtrs , heart shot with a 70lb Compound Bow..hes fat as and in the freezer..You are a legend in my whare, you could teach the tamariki so much, a " Bush craft School "

      I noticed in the bush a white face is the first thing you can see of a person. Obviously why Africans and Aborigines are dark skinned. They are closer to the original hunter. We are snow adapted.

      @@redtobertshateshandles My success with a Bow skyrocketed when I used charcoal from the fireplace across my face an bare skin..bare feet or the dive boots made getting close easier..stop , crouch and look n listen every now and then is a winner..I have shot many deer at under 20 mtrs, hunting by stealth..always into the wind.

    Did you guys see his shoes..?? Just rugged and torn falling apart.. A true hunter..nothing fancy about him..just the REAL DEAL.. Good work and wish you all the best with more harvest with your bow.. GOD bless you

      Having shoes in New Zealand is a sign of great wealth. I'd give anything for those shoes. And those shoes are the only ones his whole family own - that's why he stalks barefoot regularly, when it's one of his siblings turn to wear them. I''m in my 60s and still waiting for my first pair - which I will get when my uncle dies 😁😀

    I just love this video! Ground spot and stalk strategy is what I use as well. I've never been able to shoot a deer yet in two seasons but you inspire me to keep trying. I find it literally awe inspiring that you can actually smell a deer! Like whoa!!!!! Love the barefoot approach! You are definitely bout it bout! I know you're all bout that possum trapping but I would absolutely love to see more bow hunting vids! Thanks for sharing your adventures being a beastly hunter, trapper, woodsman!

    Very nice bow-hunting. Well done. Yes, an arrow at close range shot from say a 45-lb re-curve bow, has a hell of a wallop, and it's shock power at close range has a great killing effect besides the broad-head's cutting damage. Heart, kidneys, and liver are all good eating I enjoy. Bows are versatile weapons as they can shoot fish, birds, small game, and large game. Keep it up, it's a good video you've made, so make more of them.

    Wow, it got me a little bit of surprise about you eating those organs, tongue, heart and brain. I never tasted any of those in other animals. I did however ate fish tongue, fish cheek and tasted fish eye. It's hard, almost bead like, even it's dropped to the table, sounded like bead... so I ended up spitting it because I can't eat it, hahaha!
