A big thumbs up from me. Your passion and dedication to what you love is very well portrayed in your videos. The walking scene at the start was so well done, loved it👍. A lot of time away from the actual hunt goes into making these videos, something majority don't see. So I for one really appreciate the end product we all get to see. Not much in life is free but RUclips is pretty close to it. So thanks again for going the extra mile. I also get a laugh seeing you get the mandatory "thumbs down". Maybe they just need a hug, some loving, some chocolate or my favourite, M&M's🤣😂😂. If that doesn't work they can always dial a friend, good luck with that😂😂😂😊. Keep up the good work👍👍👍
😂😂 I did see that on your fox video too. We’ve got to laugh at it. Cheers for the encouraging feedback Robbo, looking forward to many more adventures mate.
Pat James might look a little red in the camera Pat but it’s a very bright orange. Most hunters will have some blaze orange on them so other hunters can see them easily. It’s coming from a safety aspect as we all share the public space and helps other hunters identify or distinguish us from potential game. 👍🏾
Possibly the best Australian Sambar deer hunting video I have ever seen. Thank you Daz for the time and tireless efforts you have put into this one and the willingness to share so many tips! Your skills with cameras & drones are also unbelievable. I'm looking forward to my next trip away with a few mates sussing out opportunities for a winter hunt later on. Thank you again mate.
Glad your enjoying them Andrew. Nothing beats the excitement and planing a new adventure with good mates. The anticipation and unknowns ahead are such big motivators for me. Good luck out there buddy 👍
Enjoying your video's man started hunting in the 50s around Kaimanawa's NZ 1st stag 11 yes old legs bit buggerd but enjoy real bushman hunters Cheers. Wattie
Camera work and drone footage is 10/10, really awesome way of giving a perspective of the land. Always find yourself and other RUclipsrs ability to hunt and film at the same time unbelievable. Good stuff daz
Well done Daz. Some great tips and some extremely clever and unique footage. I loved the way you magically had the camera following you, that was smick. Tribute to you for sharing the adventure in this way.
Cheers Nath! Im slowly getting better at creating the shot angles, it’s been a steep learning curve and sometimes the mind boggles but having a blast learning new skills 👍
Great video i like how you put so much detail into the commentary on what you doing And why. It helps new Hunters like myself With some good tips. Well done.
Thanks Matt, good to hear you've gotten some value out of it. Sambar will always challenge you but we can get somewhat of an edge using some proven tactics. Good luck out there bud. Daz
30 years ago when I hunted upper Buffalo river, we called Sambar the "ghost deer", few around, hard to find, never gave you a second look. Much easier now that the herds have built up! great vid need to get back home to Oz and continue my adventures... Keep I up, I would like to throw a lure into that river and have trout for lunch!
Mate, this has been amazing to watch and like mentioned in other comments, super educational for us sambar newbies. Cant wait to head down this year and use some of your scouting techniques. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us all. Awesome job Daz!!!!
Cheers Matty! Glad you got some pointers out of there mate, that’s what it’s all about, we all move forward together if we help on another. Might see you in the hills one day 👍👍
@@IntotheMountains really like your bino harness. I looked them up online as I like to keep my wind checker, bow release and range finder handy. Gonna get one. Thanks again!!
Great videos quite enjoy the secnery and closeups of deer aussie bush ive never seen a wild deer buffalo pig or camel dam victorians 🤦♂️ haa 🦘✌ cheers
Some of the best hunts are those we take in our own. Great video with spectacular scenery and a nice result. Keep them coming mate and thanks for the Saturday night entertainment👍 loved it!!
Thanks mate, this was a special one. I don’t normally film my solo runs as it’s a bit of an escape for me but at the same time it’s nice to put back into the hunting community some positive stories. Cheers for your support bud 👍
Another great clip daz, always looking forward to watching ur clips, very well done. Keep enjoying the great outdoors and bringing the great videos to watch. Also a cool looking stag
Awesome production daz! I really love the ride along adventure style videos, it really brings us as the viewers right into the hunt and opens up an opportunity to learn heaps just by watching. All the effort stopping and starting with the camera certainly pays off. Love the music too 🤠👍. Look forward to seeing what adventures this winter brings.
Unbelievable - as a new aspiring sambar hunter it is very hard to know where or how to start finding these ghosts.....great videography and I love the explanations and breakdowns of your thoughts and reasoning! keep them coming please!
Good feedback Alex, glad your getting some value out of them mate. If your in Victoria take a look at the Ada hunter Ed course run in may this year. That’s the best place to start 👍🏾
Cheers Paul, however the last shot wasn’t with a drone... 🧐 I wish I could pilot one that well and get the audio over the buzz of the drone but they need to come a long in tech still. This was done with a bit of custom camera magic 👌🏽
Paul Brown that’s the feel I was going for. Don’t worry I haven’t done a bear grills on you 😂 it’s actually a clever bit of tech attached to a long cable that motorised with a little bit of custom work and some driving you can pull off some nice shots. I’ve used it a bit in my other vids but most people put it down to drones. Cheers for watching to the end buddy
An hour well spent watching this one Daz, beautiful country plenty of deer and handle bar stag to boot as well, tell me was he good eating those couple of backstrap steaks looked primo, bit of salt and pepper and your away, really enjoyed watching this one thanks for taking us along with you.
Thanks Hank glad you enjoyed it mate. As expected for an old deer that didn’t have any time to hang the meat he was a little tough on the steaks but I’ve had a lot worse. The rest of the meat was hung and then I used the pressure cooker and no different to other Sambar.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this Daz! Some great looking open passable bush country in there! Hopefully the fires haven't affected it. Grandad Harley was a classic stag mate. Must be at least 12 or 13 years old! Thanks for sharing mate
I reckon your right on it with his age mate. Easily the oldest deer I’ve looked over. The fires have ripped through most of the area but time will tell how severe the burn was. I’d say the deer will bounce back soon enough though. A great spot 👍
Fantastic content yrg again Dazza! I have no idea how you do the walking scenes first up and at the end when your on your own but bloody brilliant. Awesome country ripper old stag. Top shelf video thank you for sharing
Cheers mate, don’t worry I didn’t do a bear grills on you and have a cameraman hiding out back 😂 it’s a cool bit of gear I use to get these shots, looks like a drone on a string 🧐
Fantastic movie Daz ! Lot's of great bush reading tips in there . Nothing like getting away from the concrete world to where we can breath hey ! On a side note , any idea when the sling hooks will be back in stock ? Cheers
Watching this while in iso and so hanging to get out in the bush, guns can’t be cleaner, safe reorganised and new loads worked up. Hope can get out soon. The best samba vid I’ve watched great work.
Well done dazza on another awesome film and congrats on the old stag. It must be the time of regressive stags I shot one with similar antlers in November and have seen 3 more since. But he ate very well nice and tender keep up the good work
Cheers Brad, yep your right mate, there was a few being taken last year when this was shot. Boagsy also shot one just like mine. Love it very cool stuff
Congrats on the handlebars! I like the malforms. Your best vid yet, a big thumbs up. Next time I'd be taking a spin rod and a few lures and spend an extra day on the main river. You never know what might be in some of them holes ;)
What a winner Daz! You kept me hooked the whole way though, and also hunting this place on google earth to try and find it :D Thanks for the upload and taking the time to put it together!
Haha good stuff mate, should be an easy one to work out, heaps of hints there and you know me, I’m always in the public free range land. If you walk in far enough you deserve it 🧐
Great vid Daz and loving the new cable cam addition. Went away myself the last 2 weekends and still cant manage to get one on the ground. the conclusion i need to allow more time and head in further instead of rushing through it. As always keep it up and happy hunting
Hey mate: just wondering if you have seen much getting around after the fires? Me and few mates looking to do a scouting run. Just wondering what you think.
I haven’t been up since the fires mate. Travel is very limited at the moment as there are a lot of track closures but check out hill dogs Chanel as he has been filming a bit up there. 👍🏾
Great video, I learned heaps! Thanks for taking the time to explain your thought process when planning your stalks/scouting, not many other guys do that. How come you don't have those quarters in game bags? What about flies?
Cheers Luke, glad you found a few pointers in there. In winter time I often leave my quarters exposed with no problems for the initial hang, I’d then cover them once they relax. There was only the odd fly about and temps really low. The bottom half inch or so I trim off for my dogs at home and the fur protects the rest. 👍
Cool ...but , I wonder about the distance it ran and then stopped so short , bedding in the open...?? Was this animal sick , possibly ? Pretty unusual circumstances , but , great stalk , perfect shot placement...well done !!
Your spot on Dave, I was very surprised to catch up with him there. I spent a heap of time glassing the hill above that spot before walking him up thinking he’d head high and I might spot him going up. He was extremely old with very poor condition. No teeth so I suspect he struggled to get enough nutrients. I’d say he wouldn’t have made it through the summer. It was a first for me seeing a deer under pressure do that. I looked him all over for a wound or bad feet, even the organs looked normal. They are tuff buggers hey
Daz, bloody awesome video mate. Really loved it. It's got me all excited for the cooler months. Hey, around the 5min30 mark.... What camera are you using? The stabilisation is awesome!
Hi Daz, I'm interested in harvesting wild deer (in QLD) and I was hoping you could share a little bit of info on how you learn whats safe to eat, how to identify signs of disease or illness and the process you follow. If you have some books or videos that you could recommend on the topic that would be great! Cheers, Peter
Good stuff mate thanks for creating this video, the cooler weather can't come fast enough. Had to laugh at the finger dingers, I bought a few hundred orange ones from eBay a while ago and hand them out by the handfull during hunts, everyone makes the same lame jokes 👍😂
Great footage as usual.Sometimes the non typical/mongrel heads have the most appeal(well that’s what my Mrs saids about me).Great job to get most of the meat out of the bush.Your pressure cooker would have got a good work out.Cheers.
Awesome job as always Daz! Amazing spot and great filming as well. That stag had fantastic character! Just wondering whether your new spot escaped the fires?
Thanks Leon, I haven’t been back to confirm this year as it’s very limited access. The charts aren’t always right but if they are accurate it looks to be toasted. Deer are resilient creatures and I’d like to stay positive, I don’t think it would take long for them to repopulate the area 👍
Into the Mountains ah damn that sucks, looked to be perfect country but as you said I’m sure they’ll bounce back soon. About 85% of spots in east Gippsland has been raised as well but some areas definitely needed it, not as hot as it was obvious it it’ll be interesting to see what it looks like in a few months!
Calling really depends on the species. Ive tried with inconsistent results calling sambar over the years. They aren't considered a calling deer so that can make it challenging to find them. We have great success on the Red and Fallow deer vocally. Daz
I can't believe i didn't have to pay to watch that movie. Brilliantly put together from the videography to the education, the views the campsite. Just as amazing as the system you were in. Where is that? ;-) (Don't answer). thank you.
Cheers Christos! Yes mate all free just doing it for the people 😂. But seriously why not share some experiences we have and the good side of hunting. If I can help some guys getting started with a few tips That’s a great outcome. Stay safe out there mate. Daz
Hey Richard, sorry mate I led you astray there, I’d already been glassing that spot for a while and consequently ranged it (just a habit) before I started talking to you on the camera. You do need a form of rangefinder to use that feature accurately 👍
great vid mate. appreciate the work put in. just wondering about that saw. was it ecka? and i have a similar pack. the crossfire dg16. bloody love them. so comfy.
@@IntotheMountains you too mate. We got a heap of spots onto of a few spurs hear on the property and nice bulldozer tracks to the top so it's gonna be easy going without the black berries lmfao. I dunno if it me or sheer luck on seeing a few but do you see alot of sambar hanging around new tracks ect. I've seen a heap hanging around them its almost like they are attracted to all the shit being ripped up and alot of stags rolling and ripping up on the fresh dirt track too. The fresh green stuff hasn't come up so it's not that attracting em. Have u seen this before?
Zac Roberts yep spot on. Deer will readily be attracted to turned over soil. Logging coops, land slides, graded tracks, tilled paddocks will attract lots of macro pods as well as bovines. I’ve used this technique many times to attract deer to an area on private land to photograph. Take a pic or shovel ona well used game trail. Turn over a section of trail and put a camera over it. You’ll see good results of interest on that spot. I’ve even had deer scrape than spot so hard they ended up creating a wallow from it👍
@@IntotheMountains cheers Daz I've gone from chasing pigs to chasing deer so im still learning abit lmfao. I couldn't believe the amount of action. I went to check the fire damage and the sign was fresh as.... ud think the fire would have pushed em out but they have stuck to it
A big thumbs up from me. Your passion and dedication to what you love is very well portrayed in your videos. The walking scene at the start was so well done, loved it👍. A lot of time away from the actual hunt goes into making these videos, something majority don't see. So I for one really appreciate the end product we all get to see.

It’s not just you two giving each other the thumbs down for shits and giggles is it??...😂😂
Gilly McGillface ahahaha yeah I’ve gonna check Robbos account next time 😂😂😂
Why do you wear a red hat in the bush ??
Pat James might look a little red in the camera Pat but it’s a very bright orange. Most hunters will have some blaze orange on them so other hunters can see them easily. It’s coming from a safety aspect as we all share the public space and helps other hunters identify or distinguish us from potential game. 👍🏾

I'm not a hunter, but this is a great video. I find deer hunting fascinating.
Thanks for taking us on the hunt, the amount of effort you put in to get the all the shots is second to none.
Thanks Matty, lots of effort as you know. A labour of love. All free to RUclips! 🙃
Enjoying your video's man started hunting in the 50s around Kaimanawa's NZ 1st stag 11 yes old legs bit buggerd but enjoy real bushman hunters

Fantastic vid, you really capture what it is all about. Magnificent country, and really include us in the action. The whole hour was brilliant...
Thanks Mark! Appreciate the support. 👍🏾👍🏾
Absolute ripper of an episode Daz. Love these longer videos. That handle bar stag was a ball tearer.

😂 yeah I hear ya. We must keep similar company. Hard to use them in an Aussie hunt company without a few laughs. Great product though
Loving your content great work 👍👍
Great footage as usual.Sometimes the non typical/mongrel heads have the most appeal(well that’s what my Mrs saids about me).Great job to get most of the meat out of the bush.Your pressure cooker would have got a good work out.Cheers.
Cheers Rob, pressure cooker just got by, he was as expected a tuff deer in more way than one😂 just don’t tell the misses
11:06 one of the most clean shot ever, well done! that meat will be super delicious mate. Fantastic video, very well set up as well.
Thanks a lot
Appreciate the support Max. 🍗
👍🏼good job nice stag
Awesome job as always Daz! Amazing spot and great filming as well. That stag had fantastic character! Just wondering whether your new spot escaped the fires?
Thanks Leon, I haven’t been back to confirm this year as it’s very limited access. The charts aren’t always right but if they are accurate it looks to be toasted. Deer are resilient creatures and I’d like to stay positive, I don’t think it would take long for them to repopulate the area 👍
Into the Mountains ah damn that sucks, looked to be perfect country but as you said I’m sure they’ll bounce back soon. About 85% of spots in east Gippsland has been raised as well but some areas definitely needed it, not as hot as it was obvious it it’ll be interesting to see what it looks like in a few months!
hopefully the country you were hunting in didnt get to affected by the fires, great video mate
Thanks mick, it has been impacted mate but I’ve not been able to get back in at the moment. I’ll give it another go when the cooler weather rolls in.
Great video. Would u ever try calling? Is that only during mating? Or an American thing. Keep it up. Subscribed and waiting for the next
Calling really depends on the species. Ive tried with inconsistent results calling sambar over the years. They aren't considered a calling deer so that can make it challenging to find them. We have great success on the Red and Fallow deer vocally. Daz
Another awesome video Daz, cheers. Also what rifle sling is that mate?
Cheers buddy, I was using a safari sling on this trip mate.
Awesome as per usual. Well done
Thanks Marco! 👍👍
Awesome video mate well done not shore if that back strap you cooked up was off the old stag you shot but if it was it would be tuff I recon
Haha yeah mate it was and it was! To be expected but the rest went in the pressure cooker and was fine 👌🏽
Amazing adventure mate as usual ,,,just curious to know what calibre ? Scope & Binocular magnification power you use ? Cheers
Hey Ram. I’m using a 7mm rem mag here. Binos are Swarovski 15x56. Scope is a Swarovski 3-18 👍🏾
Epic mission mate. Hats off for you.
Thanks for your ongoing support mate 👍
Nice vid Daz, love the solo hunts eh 👍🏾
Thanks mate, I decided to film this one, was a great adventure. Can’t wait to get back in there
I can't believe i didn't have to pay to watch that movie. Brilliantly put together from the videography to the education, the views the campsite. Just as amazing as the system you were in. Where is that? ;-) (Don't answer). thank you.
Cheers Christos! Yes mate all free just doing it for the people 😂. But seriously why not share some experiences we have and the good side of hunting. If I can help some guys getting started with a few tips That’s a great outcome. Stay safe out there mate. Daz
Thoroughly enjoyed felt like I was a there learned heaps thanks for sharing
Cheers Tony, good luck in 2020🍻
Awesome hunt. Love the epic shot too
Cheers Matty! 👌🏽
Great work 👍
great vid Daz, was this filmed before the fires?
Hey mate yes from memory around august last year. The fires will have a significant impact no doubt. 👍🏾
Nice watch mate. The GPS you have is that the Garmin rino? Does it have ranging ability? 46:33
Hey Richard, sorry mate I led you astray there, I’d already been glassing that spot for a while and consequently ranged it (just a habit) before I started talking to you on the camera. You do need a form of rangefinder to use that feature accurately 👍
Into the Mountains thanks. I have been looking at that GPS so was a bit confused. ;).
great video mate...making me keen to get out there asap :) what rifle and scope are you using?
Great stuff mate. This is my mountain rifle set up. It’s a sako carbonlight chambered in 7mm RemMag topped with a swaro z5 3.5x18 👍
great vid mate. appreciate the work put in. just wondering about that saw. was it ecka? and i have a similar pack. the crossfire dg16. bloody love them. so comfy.
Thanks mate. Yes the saw is made by eka it’s the 17inch Viking model.
Love ya work Daz another good video
Thanks Zac, good luck in the season ahead mate 👍
@@IntotheMountains you too mate. We got a heap of spots onto of a few spurs hear on the property and nice bulldozer tracks to the top so it's gonna be easy going without the black berries lmfao. I dunno if it me or sheer luck on seeing a few but do you see alot of sambar hanging around new tracks ect. I've seen a heap hanging around them its almost like they are attracted to all the shit being ripped up and alot of stags rolling and ripping up on the fresh dirt track too. The fresh green stuff hasn't come up so it's not that attracting em. Have u seen this before?
Zac Roberts yep spot on. Deer will readily be attracted to turned over soil. Logging coops, land slides, graded tracks, tilled paddocks will attract lots of macro pods as well as bovines. I’ve used this technique many times to attract deer to an area on private land to photograph. Take a pic or shovel ona well used game trail. Turn over a section of trail and put a camera over it. You’ll see good results of interest on that spot. I’ve even had deer scrape than spot so hard they ended up creating a wallow from it👍
@@IntotheMountains cheers Daz I've gone from chasing pigs to chasing deer so im still learning abit lmfao. I couldn't believe the amount of action. I went to check the fire damage and the sign was fresh as.... ud think the fire would have pushed em out but they have stuck to it
