Having had a lot of requests from hunters seeking more information about where and how I hunt with my climbing tree stand, I decided that a RUclips video would be the best way to answer most of those questions. It shows where and how I set it up and includes footage of several sambar stags close enough that you can hear them breathing.

This footage is of Steve Grubissa's German Wirehair Pointer "Jussy", locked on full point for over three minutes on mature sambar stag. Being only metres apart and being full exposed to each other the stand off is only broken when Steve decides to take the shot.

This video covers the antler growth period of sambar stags. It shows stags of different age classes as they grow their antlers from velvet to fully formed hard antlers. It covers genetics and nutrition related to antler their development and displays stags with malformed antlers and the effect their genes have on the resident population.

This video is of a hunt spread over a weekend for a trophy sambar stag for my good mate John Davies. John and his son Brock hadn't hunted sambar deer before and were keen to experience this style of hunting. Getting to a high vantage point and using binoculars to let your eyes do the walking was the way, that 19 sambar deer were sighted over two days. Passing up on three lesser stags resulted i...

I videoed this sambar stag wallowing twenty plus years ago and as a result the footage is not of the quality it would be if it were recorded with a camera of today. What it is though is a great example of what you may see if you have the patience to sit and wait at a wallow at the right time of the day. After videoing this stag for almost ten minutes I decided to take him after he exited the la...

This video shows how close you can get to a sambar stag by crawling in close, sitting still and lowering your profile. It demonstrates that you can get within 13 metres of a mature sambar stag without the need for full camouflage clothing. I was wearing olive green pants and top, and wearing a face mask and gloves that blended in with the surroundings.

This video features free range sambar deer feeding in a blackberry thicket filmed from a treestand. You will see the advantage that can be gained by being elevated over habitat that would be impossible to hunt at ground level. It shows how sambar deer communicate and interact with each other when they pick up a scent that they associate with danger.

This video footage demonstrates the use of a homemade caller, that mimics the sound of a sambar calf. * Note how the stag searches amongst the ferns looking for a sambar calf. When this stag advanced to within 6 meters my Labrador dog couldn't stand it coming any closer and chased it away.
