Love your videos man, truly an inspiration to all NSW public land hunters - absolutely cracking stag. Got to ask, how can you justify going to a forest 9 times without seeing any deer!! I would be very disheartened and would have surely given up long before - it obviously paid off, but just trying to understand why you didnt think to move on to a different forest or something? Keep bringing out vidoes man, really enjoying your content!
@@joshbrown5722 thanks man. I probably should have changed forests but there was just enough sign on the ground and evidence on my cameras to keep me coming back. I go out each time with a really low expectation, I just love being out in the forests walking around, if something happens and I shoot a deer, it’s a bonus. Hopefully have another vid out soon
@@joshbrown5722 dedication definitely helps in the state forest game. As long as you’re willing to work harder and walk further than the next guy, it will usually reward you…. Eventually! 🤣👍
@@dtbadventures yea 100%, the other day in a spot we've found a lot of sign but haven't seen deer, I saw a 8point stag and does, scared the stag but managed to get a doe, only a young in but a first ever deer and out of state forest
@@jfisho.7 ANYTHING out of a state forest needs to be celebrated, top work!! I dont have any access to private so its go hard and make it work or its nothing. I love the Nsw state forests, they have been damn good to me the past 3 years, you just got to walk a little further 😁👍
Highly enjoyable video
Thanks Steve
stunning stag good work
Thanks mate, he’s mounted above the Tv. I relive the hunt every time I look up!

Well done bud

Epic mate. Well done. Had any issues with the stitching on the straps/frame coming apart on the hybridX?
Been about 7 months and multiple heavy pack outs. So far Im really impressed, not a stitch out of place.
Great work, enjoyed watching the journey.

Congrats!! Great work! If it was easy there wouldn't be any around any more.
True that!

Cant argue with that mate, best problems to have 👍
Well done mate amazing effort. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Do the miles get the smiles mate well done.
