Operation Anglem - Stewart Island Whitetail Hunting and Spearfishing | 10 Days in Paradise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Hunting, spearfishing, exploring, relaxing and wildlife - Stewart Island has it all. We spent 10 days hunting whitetail deer and exploring the Christmas Village hunting block back in February of 2022. We lived off the land and ocean by spearfishing for dinner, daily catch and cooks of fresh blue cod and butterfish. Our main aim for the trip was to climb the tallest peak on Rakiura to get a look over the entire island... it did not disappoint! Incredible panoramic views of Rakiura, the Southern Ocean and Fiordland.
Watch along as we enjoy what Stewart Island has to offer and sharing our experiences along the way, sit back and enjoy!

Hi guys, I've been watching your videos for a while now and have only just seen this one!
It has to be by far the best one I've seen, thank you so much 🙂.
I started shooting 63 years ago at 7yrs old with air rifles, shotguns at 14.
I only started hunting with rifles two years ago and they were black powder ones back then.
I bought my first centre fire only three years ago, I feel such a fool now, as I wish I'd started earlier.
Now I'm stuggling to find good places I can walk into as these 70 year old legs can't do the distance they used to.
So, looking for DOC blocks or private areas I can quad into is now high on my list.
But videos like this inspire me to carry on, thanks again guys.
You guys have aced it again, in the most magical place in NZ
That was an awesome video for so many reasons, no wonder Stewart Island is so addictive
Also one of the few places you can hunt, fish, and dive, and actually put on weight over the time you spend there
Cheers Bob 🍻 hahah too right, you definitely eat well there!
Been waiting all week for this, looks great!
Far out lads this has probably got to be your best video yet. Video quality and editing is bloody top notch, that sunrise up Anglem was something special.
Cheers mate, that's kind of you to say! Really chuffed with how the footage came together
Well done team look like a bloody sweet trip
Didn't look like the lads were short on food, the mean cook ups each day. Now that's hunting
Eating well is a tradition down there!
Great edit guys. Good job
Awesome video, stunning scenery, love the drone footage - incredible! Lived on the Island about 42 years ago and remember the horrendous crossings on the old Foveaux ferry, big diesel generators, the coal range and Butterfields Beach where I use to play across from our house at Halfmoon Bay. Cheers guys!
Glad we could bring back some memories for you! It's such an incredible place
Awesome views
Epic trip whanau, what an amazing place eh. I'm guessing you'll be back eh. Absolutely stunning
Without a doubt, getting plans in place already 👌
Wow nice work guys
that island is swaming with gws. surprised you had not seen one when diving...
My mate and I lived in our fly-camp on this very beach for two weeks of very bad weather during April 1980. Like you guys, we speared fish on the reef (terakihi), caught fish on hand lines from the rocks, and gathered paua . I shot the only whitetail for the trip during a rare sunny spell one afternoon, while bush-hunting on Garden Point. I had my poison gear there and managed to collect about 20 possum skins. No hut there in those days. Great living on fish, venison, and paua every day. Superb photography guys, especially the underwater shots. Well done.
Epic, it could do with some more possum control we saw a few about! Cheers
Waking up to THAT on day 8 - Must have made your trip. Great Photography and Another great vid guys
Was definitely one of the best camp sites we've ever had! Absolutely magic up there!
Yes is looked Magic. From day 7s hike and weather to wake up to that.
Tried to climb Mt Anglem many years ago absolutely hammered down 3/4 way up no visibility so gave up . Awesome footage thanks guys.
It can be pretty rough down there! We got very lucky it cleared! Hope you manage to get back down there, it's an incredible spot!
Another awesome trip team and awesome footage to go with it, thumbs up,, Tony.
Brilliant video boys👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome video boys🤙🤙
Another awesome vid fellas. Brings back great memories from my trips down there. Keep up the great work.
Happy we could bring you along!
Awesome trip and well filmed, always great things from you boys.
Thank you mate!
Nice footage.
Truly one of NZ most beautiful places to be. Paradise indeed. Nice job boys.
Couldn't agree more mate, one hell of a place 👌 cheers!
Fricken awesome trip and video. Such a beautiful place. Loved the laughs. And sheesh - your meals looked fabulous. Great content! Keep it up.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Another awes video thanks lads. another great trip
Epic mission....sooo cool to watch...thanks for sharing
Great video as always lads! Keep up to good work pumping out the amazing content. You guys make these adventures so appealing.
Thanks mate, it's pretty hard to have a bad time on them!
The backstraps on whitetails is magical. What's even better is the psoas muscle up against the spine in abdominal cavity. It's small, unless you kill a very big deer, but it's worth saving.
Definitely! We call them the fillets, nice to know their real name thanks! Hands down one of the best cuts on a deer 🤤
Excellent, thanks for sharing, look forward to all your content.
you guys living the dream thks so much for the vids
Great shot deer on the beach. Years ago we ran down a wild sheep in the Ruggedy Flats that hadn't been shorn in years and cooked it up. It seemed a huge waste to leave the fleece behind.
Haha no way that’s pretty cool, wonder if there’s still any wild sheep roaming the island
Absolutely amazing mission and fantastic videography, just keeps getting better! 😁
Thank you!
Absolutely epic lads.
Epic watch fellas, you sure know how to put together something real special 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
What an absolute blast that trip must have been. Great to have mates into that kind of stuff and a country that is safe to do that.
Too right mate, we’ve got it good here!
Absolutely epic video thanks team 💯😎👌
Heading to Masons Bay for five days soon , and i can not wait . These vids are great boys keep it up !. Great content ,makes my evenings in bearable .
The nature is really good👍👍👍
Pure gold once more guys. Just awesome. Keep it up.
Thanks mate!
Paradise , you are not wrong there .
Can't beat Blue Cod when it's fresh.
Very clever filming and editing. Like it
Best looking trip, didnt get a extra deer or two just dont matter with a trip like that,,
It’s a Magic place down there 😎😎😎
Excellent. Awesome trip & place. Thanks for sharing.
Stewart Island is one hell of a place, can't get enough of it!
Awesome fellas 🤙👍
Awesome edit lads one of the best 💪
Awesome vid! I'm glad that I stumbled on your channel. Subbed
Cheers mate!
Awesome vid. Been looking to go there for years, looking like next year could be a go. Pretty motivated after watching
You should! It's such an incredible place
So good lads 💯💯💯
Great video, outstanding photography. We had the yanky River block back in 1998.shot a few deer but the best part of the trip was the seafood and the birdlife. Magic spot.
There's just something about the place isn't there! A step back in time to a simpler life
Awesome stuff!
Awesome work fellas! makes me want to head back there! love it
Do it!
Epic mission, glad you actually got a view up on Anglem in the end, it's a pretty special spot! And good job keeping the attitude up after some long days in the bush
So are we! Would've been pretty gutted if the clag stuck around!
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 I'll have to look out for an eventual hunting/packrafting mission across the tin range from you guys surely...
@@xanderwijninckx858 funny you should say that...
Fantastic watch guys ur videography/music an editing is getting more awesome with each vid so well done👌👌👌
Thank you!
Enjoyed the show...You boys should produce the hunters guide to cooking! Food looks amazing. Good times.....
Hahah thanks mate!
Great video lads one of my most favourite places in the world….. my folks had a Crib on Stewart Island and I hunted there quite a few times with my Cuz and know how tough it can be in the bush. The cemetery and dump were the best places LOL Great camera work and commentary
Epic, what a spot to have a bach! Classic, we saw more deer on the golf course than the bush last time we were there 😂
Awesome video brothers, its such an amazing place! some of the most epic hunting iv had is on the island, place of dreams
Cheers! Its a wicked spot!
Great video guy those things in the sea you saw with the drown could have been lions mane jellyfish they can be massive upto 120 foot long
Far out! If only we'd been able to get closer!
Great editing, great filming and really well put together. Thanks for sharing.
I was lucky enough to be in the same location almost exactly 2 yrs before your trip. You've captured this far better than any of our footage did though !
It's a nice spot!
lol we had exactly the same scenario play out waiting for the Mana to pick us up Deer popped out on beach Alex sprints back up to hut and grabs rifle pretending nothings happening then BANG
Sounds like a familiar story down there!
epic vid
Nice boys!!! So close but a whole world away. I live 30kms north from here in big ol Bluff and have done the track before but never taken my dive gear, how'd you find hiking with all your gear? How heavy were your packs, new to the channel and can't wait to see more, my kinda videos🤙🤙🤙
We had most of our gear dropped off at the hut, would've been a bloody heavy haul otherwise! Don't think we would've been able to manage it with the dive belts hahah. Cheers mate
farkk mean video boys
sun fish by the looks
That would be cool! I wish we'd been able to get the drone in a bit closer to find out!
Epic trip! One of those trips where you actually put weight on? Fantastic camera work and editing skill too.
Hahah yeah I'd say so, definitely eat well down there 😂
good video boys , i’m heading there in april and was wondering if you know if any spots where to chuck some cray pots cheers
Cheers mate. In all honesty mate we haven't done well on the crays down there yet haha
Sad to see Paua cooked like that! Sack that cook, otherwise a great time I'm sure.
Hahaha fair comment, I've had it since then cooked (and tenderized) properly... a much more enjoyable meal!
Hey great video. How much did it cost roughly to go and stay there?
Fuel to and from bluff ~ $100pp
Ferry to and from Oban ~$100pp
Water taxi to and from block ~$400pp
Block booking $30
Then the usual food costs on top of that, hope that helps 😄
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 yeah sweet thanks for that
pegasus next ?
Probably not the next trip but it's on the radar!
lol ya dont kill the fish then measure it..
Any suggestions on how we could live measure them? We tried asking nicely but they don't seem to listen...
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 look for what looks like bigger fish..and go get them.
