Haha thanks Dennis, yeah that catch up at camp was a classic one. I watched the whole series for the first time since editing it all together and I think that camp scene is one of my favourites. So raw
Favourite part is hearing the story at the end. Fantastic work on capturing an ecstatic story on how it all went down. I felt like I was right there with you fellas. Thanks for the share
@@MountainMan_NZ great to hear from you Jamie, and thanks very much for the reply. I seriously felt like I was there holding the camera for you blokes haha. I really appreciate and feel your appreciation for this beautiful country. I am lucky enough to live in the Yarra Valley and don't have far to travel to experience all the Bush has to offer. Sambar, birds, fauna.... Its a good part of the world. Eagerly waiting for the next videos mate
Great job on the video. Loved Andy giving a breakdown on his hunt, pure excitement and one of the many reasons we love to get out into the bush for moments like this!!
That’s what it’s all about. Your faces tell the story. Congratulations Andy on securing a pisser Sambar stag. Hard work pays off. You guys executed the plan and your team work paid off. Great footage once again Jamie.
Thanks again Rob, I am so pleased to have captured the camp convo with Andy as I stumbled in under headtorch! I just knew that he would be dying to tell his story and its moments like those that totally make a trip for me!! I have hunted solo before and that's got its upside too, but sharing a camp and hearing stories like Andy's one just brings such a smile, and to me epitomises what it's all about. And yes It was great to see the plan pay dividends, after all, the process had started several months earlier and having flown from Perth with out having the advantage of local knowledge means that days like this one are cherished
MountainMan HuntingFilms - Grouse memories for sure. Hopefully your kids will be keen to get out hunting soon. My eleven year old daughter gets her rifle within the next couple of weeks. She loves going hunting with me..
That is gold, I love Andy’s re-enactment of the events shooting the stag, you can tell he was busting to tell his story to someone, if that doesn’t encourage any young budding Sambar hunters to get out there nothing will.👍
Love the excitement on andy’s face when you rolled into camp.. good mates good times the stag is a bonus and memories made forever next level vid mate seriously well done
Mate loving your videos. Shows an awesome appreciation for the aninals and whenua you are hunting on. Good shit. Looking forward to the third video. Looks like a donk!
@@MountainMan_NZ and that as meant in the spirt that I'd really like to be able to follow what you are saying, the actual whispering makes perfect sense and draws the audience in. I'm sure we all wish we were all there with you.
Great effort congratulations on a nice stag and your right Jamie the value of the hunters in the high country is under estimated I hope government advises can wake up and acknowledge this good stuff
Thanks Scott, yes our value shouldn't be understimated but at the same token we cannot take for granted being able to hunt sambar in the highcountry! I'm yet to find a place quite like it in Australia
Great vid mate. I love watching the series you keep putting together, gives me all the more motivation to get out there myself. Look forward to a closer look at the stag. 👍
That's great to hear mate, good luck when you head out! I am having withdrawals now though, so I'll be relying on all you lot to keep me sane with hunting content until my return in 2019!! Cheers, jamie
Cheers scott, its awesome to ave captured someone else's special moment! He'll have this one to show his 3 kids and wife for the rest of his life!! Glad you enjoyed
Hi Daz, I seen a couple of ~27s at between 450 and 500m but by the time I got closer they had moved off into the bush and bedded down and never showed again that evening; one of them looked reasonably solid but not overly heavy...
MountainMan HuntingFilms great times. It's often the case up there, as your forced to move along most of the time your walking past one good deer to find another. We might have to take a month off and just sit in there hey 😉
@@IntotheMountains totally, we barely scratch the surface in terrain like this and see only a fraction of what's there. And despite probing down the spurs and any faces or ledges to work thr angles, there is still so much that we can never really properly assess. Noteithstanding the bush and flats below!
Cheers mate, I think we have about an hour of footage of deer feeding, bedding and socialising! Such a good way to learn about their intricate movements and behaviours
Thanks Chris, it was killing us that we were not able to assess the animal that night around the camp fire. I've been in the same situation with Andre Alipate after I shot a big red stag in the Southern Alps on last light and had to spend the night playing what if and guess the size games; its agonizing. And the longer the night wears on the seemingly bigger and grander the animal and the story gets haha.
Haha cheers Andy, he was a happy camper for sure (and rightly so!!) Think we yacked on like that til midnight before attacking day 3 to do it all again!
I think 27 inches long x 29 wide, but maybe andy can confirm... I can't quite remember!! The overspread makes them look bigger (I like it personally, although it gets penalised by Douglas Score system)
Haha That's awesome guy's congrats and well done! I love the enthusiasm in the story. Absolutely fantastic 👍
Had a big smile on my face watching it.
Thanks mate, the camp convo makes me smile watching it again too!
Congrats Andy well done, another great episode look forward to the next one.
Thanks hank
Brilliant as always mate. I enjoyed the excitement of your success the most, very genuine which is what it’s all about.
Haha thanks Dennis, yeah that catch up at camp was a classic one. I watched the whole series for the first time since editing it all together and I think that camp scene is one of my favourites. So raw
That feeding deer most likely assumed the rumble of the rifle was the sound of thunder.
Favourite part is hearing the story at the end. Fantastic work on capturing an ecstatic story on how it all went down. I felt like I was right there with you fellas. Thanks for the share
Awesome to hear James, that was my highlight for the day too; it's hard not to feel part of someone else's buzz when they are fizzing like that!

Love the videos but it would be great to get some subtitles for the whispered bits.
Thanks David , good suggestion!!

Cheers for watching (as usual) Dan, it's a pleasure to showcase sambar in the alpine national park!!
I’ve got to get up there!
Great stuff, well done Andy. I know that would have been a hard walk out. Did you see the heavy 26er with him?
