Great video mate. Us inexperienced hunters really appreciate people like yourself taking the time to pass on the knowledge. Thanks for your insight.
Nice one Profty, great video to hand on some tips!
I'd also add a few. When walking/stalking, have some awareness of the recent weather. A wet night will have softened the leaf and twig liter on the ground, helping you walk quietly, whereas a dry day will crisp them up. I do mix a bit of stalking and then stand still for a minute. But for newbies, practice real stillness. Find a good place to sit and look out. No fidgeting or snacks with noisy wrappers. Sit and practice listening and looking. How far can you hear? make a map in your head of where some distinct sounds are coming from. Eg is that a bird's warning call? Perhaps pigs or fox over there. Once you are able to be still, Nature will come out - and some of that will be game.
100%
Mate. You are great teacher. I have retired in Bombala- Wyndham area. I accidentlyt shot my first sambar spike in May 21. Was watching and learning from Your videos. Since May 21 I have harvested more then 20 deer (sambar and red deer). I have lost the count by now. Some of them on Public Land. You are a great teacher. Thank You for your video.
I was going to say the same, not every one has a flair for teaching....if he decides to run courses or classes in the near future, I'm in mate.....
Some random thoughts. My most successful bush stalks have been in heavy rain. It's miserable, but rain covers noise and scent to some degree. Damp foliage also makes less noise under foot than dry leaves. I know camouflage is controversial, but agree that whites faces and hands aren't helpful. Bow hunters are very good at covering up. Lastly, I understand why people wear blaze orange and deer have different colour perception, but they are good at seeing UV reflectance. I bought a UV torch and it was an eye opener shining it on my hunting clothing. I have to say that my few blaze orange items looked as bright as a fire under UV light!
I'm not a big fan of adds but tbh I love your videos and anything helping you make more I'm all for it and you really deserve it!
Keep it up!
I found the cheap camo tape to work well on stainless barrel. I also found remington rifles - short action to be useless.
Really excellent video thanks. Content on the mindset of hunting, especially as it relates to hunting in NZ and Australia is very thin on the ground and this video covers some of the key aspects brilliantly. It's great work and greatly appreciated.
Thanks Profty. Some good info in there. High ambition, low expectation! I like that!
One comment on "cover".
I find it best not to go right up to larger objects when using them for concealment. Pull back a meter or two as this will decrease the size of the angle the object obstructs your field of view, ie if your right up next to a tree trunk your field of view is going to be significantly restricted; Your going to need to execute a larger head movement to see around it increasing your risk of detection. By pulling back, you only then need to slightly move your head to see around it.
You can then decide to move forward if you wish to use the object for firing support
Yes that’s an important thought
Thankyou for this video profty.. will use this in the bush.. specially the face and hand covers.. loving the content mate
Great work pulling this video together Profty. I got a lot out of it and I know others would have too. Keep up the great work and positivity. Chris
Great video as always mate.
My perennial problem seems to be spotting them myself. I am usually quiet enough that I find myself literally on top of a Sambar that I don't know is there until it honks at me from point blank range, and then freight trains off through the forest.
If I could add a tip I would say that the Sambar calls are great when you think you've sprung yourself with a noise. If I have been approaching bedding areas and made a big crunch etc I will usually give a couple of calls. Aiming to make any deer around think I am a young deer just thumping around.
There's been a few times I've walked right up on a bedded deer doing this.
Hey mate one thing I learnt also as profty said is be still and slow down stop , scan use your binos, look for horizontal shapes or lines, not much grows horizontal like aa deer's back appears, bar a fallen tree. If it's a still day look for grass or tree movement especially if you make noise, deer are never really asleep they'll wake to noise like you'd wake to your front door being open lol. You'll get there mate keep putting in the time.Also there called ghosts for a reason, my uncle who hunted reds ,fallow,rusa for 30years withwith maybe 10 trips.unsuccessful, it took him 3 trips to the Vic high country to get a sambar stag, keep on keeping on mate you'll get it
How have you only got 25,000 SUBS BRILLIANT
I use a slip on neoprene camo barrel cover for the reason you mention. I spotted a mate in the bush with camo one time and all I saw where his white hands. Big lesson!
An excellent set of ideas for tuning one's movements through the bush - ESPECIALLY the use of structures for concealment.
Second--Great video ! The bastards keep hearing me coming- ill go quiet as a mouse for awhile (like when I think I smell deer), then decide nothing is around, so I move a bit quicker/twig, and.. I hear them crash off.. I've got to be more patient, and plan longer stays in the Bush to take the pressure off..
Cheers. Been doing all of the above. Thanks for the tip about getting from A to B quicker under the cover of the wind etc. I’m tree hoping but concentrating on moving quote I’m moving super slow, and yeah I can see I’m focused on keeping quiet than looking and hearing.
Some good tips profty Stalking with the sun at your back is a good one, We don’t like looking 👀 into the sun. Nor do they, but it comes with a problem,there’s 2 of you now. Eg your shadow. Even in your video you made a shadow, too over come this is too walk the shadows of the trees, or make your movements when the sun is covered by clouds,, but all Is nothing to smell. Keep up the good work mate. 🐻
Love your work mate! As a beginner hunter. Every tip you give is gold!
Thank you mate! I have watched alot of your video's. Your passion for hunting really comes through and I like it. Hunting is pure and organic and natural. Its one of the fundamentals of what we are. I am just getting into this and I have never got anything yet. But hopefully soon. I live in gippsland victoria so I know I'm in a good spot to have a great chance at getting a deer. I really apreaciate these videos they have helped me learn alot. I have never been hunting and dont have anyone to teach me so this is gold. Cheer Mate
Thanks Profty, some great advice that I'll be putting into practice there
Great video, I really got something out of it, looking forward to your thoughts on wind and scent control.
Great vid profty , your doing our passion a big help by teaching new hunters and experienced hunters a thing or two, myself included. Keep up the good work brother 👍🍺
Brilliant work. Excellent content and teaching style. 👌
Man thanks for the super helpful video profty. Most appreciated mate. Respect
Great advice Profty 👌
That was a great vid Alex and a very good educational lesson for new hunters I hope that newbies learn from this .
Great video mate very good tips
Thanks Profty. Some very useful advice.
Nice tips Alex, well done, thanks.
Nice work profty 👍🏻
Hey profty, love ya videos mate. Would be awesome if you could do one on your top favourite nsw state forests to hunt.
Keep doing what you are doing mate!
That demonstration of being quiet got me 😂
Someone once said spend more time looking and listening and observing and less time moving and you will gain a better understanding of the environment
Mate - enjoying your video, but I have to pause and ask - where did you get the blaze vest from?
I do feral control in Queensland and can't find one anywhere!
Thanks - back to the video...
Some great points mate.
Excellent video mate, everyone can take something away from this. Cant wait for the next installment 👍
Your a true good aussie hunter.....
Great tips , I used to hunt a lot when I was a kid and got back into it a few years ago , now days the problem I have is finding a state forest with game in it , I’m on nsw south coast and travel 10hrs away to Pilliga forest just to get something , my 3 closest forest I’ve spent maybe 1500-2000hrs in them and still yet to see a print ,dropping or any other sign of any game
Do get me wrong there’s plenty of game on private land near forests but next to none in them
You live on the south coast… and there’s no game in your forests.. that’s not true. Small adjustments to strategy could help, that whole thing about deer living in private and not going public.. the deer don’t understand land legal demarcation, the have habitat and react to pressure. How come so many other folks are enjoying the best hunting in the world for next to free on the south coast?
@@AussieBushHarvest I’m trying a few state forests a bit farther south this year , my closest state forest is just void of all life not just game , in 3 years only seen one wombat and a goanna , it’s more of a location thing than anything else , I have a thin corridor between ocean and impassable cliffs with a large towns at either end , so it makes it hard for game to get into , they literally have to travel through the centre of town to get in there
Saying that I still get out there once a month with hopes I’ll see something one day
Mate I needed this I've been on 4 hunts now and haven't seen anything yet still keen to get out but
I thought hunting was going for a walk with a gun. I still bump more than I see before I spot them. I'm not as fit as this young guy so I try to ambush more these days and I have had some success..
intelligence is the best substitute for fitness
Great tips and tricks!
Great video lots of great information but from what I learnt, it dosnt matter how bright your clothes are cos most animals are colour blind, now I havnt really looked into it very much but I havnt found any differences in clothing choice, it’s completely up to you what you wear don’t get me wrong, I just never really understood the camo part when most animals are “apparently” colour blind, please shed some light on the topic as more information would be amazing cheers
No not brightness, it’s blaze orange that deer in particular are colour blind too. A quick google search will show you studies from the US which break down the light spectrum they see differently to our own. It would still be smart to cover anything reflective. The point I was making about Camo is that often hunters will cover everything except the parts of our body which move the most such as hands and our faces.
Have you ever thought of live streaming and doing a Q&A?
Great video
Also just to add ... deer can only see in 2d not 3 dimension like humans which could explain why it’s so common for them to jump off cliffs and bridges to there own death . They can’t tell distance but can see movement way better than us
I just shot a fallow about 2 hours ago I dragged it to the track cbf cleaning it now ill do it in the morning
hopefully a bit cooler tonight for ya
@@AussieBushHarvest its freezing iam wrapped up in my sleeping bag atm fully clothed & beanie and iam still cold
The only time I have spotted an animal is when I am still. The only time an animal has spotted me is when I am moving.
I have found walking steps in the same fashion as you have demonstrated along with stops to use your ears and nose, to be the most effective method of the 'active hunting' that we partake in SF Australia
Your a legend 🤙love the vids
great video!!
Love ya work.
What are your thoughts about wearing blue jeans? Many people claim hunters should never wear blue jeans.
The logic there is that deer can see blue, also denim won’t insulate at all when wet. But if it’s dry.. and predominantly the top half of the body is the Camo focus, it’s up to the hunter to choose
What make is your chest rig mate?
The company is Twin Needle, an NZ brand
First
bright orange beany is gunna help all the camo gear, lol....
Deer eyes are dichromatic they don't see the spectrum of color that blaze orange is in it appears as a brown/grey color and blends in with colors around it
cheers for the insight bud....@@KrisDries-phc0001
