SIKA | Beyond The Highlands
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In this film we head to the northern part of Scotland, above the Highlands, in search of the shadow of the woods, Japanese Sika.
Notoriously difficult to stalk and elusive in their nature, this truly wild hunt (filmed early October) in the forests of Sutherland was a challenge, mainly due to the mild weather.
Despite a masterclass in calling from our guide, Nathan Windle, it really proved to be like pulling a thorn out of your finger and given Owen’s experience also shows that it sometimes doesn’t go to plan.
This is film 1 of 2 to enjoy. For the full immersive experience we recommend watching on your TV/monitor with sound up! Enjoy!!
Cracking video, what a beautiful morning to be out, fantastic gents
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It was some incredible ground we were hunting on. Really boggy underfoot.
Nice to see the professionals showing a miss .Good video as always 👍
Thanks Justin, that’s just how it goes sometimes.
Awesome deer, the Sika.
Hairs on the neck always stand up when you see the ghost of the forest appear.
They don't need to be an 8 all the time.
Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Exactly, they are in incredible specimen and we are fortunate just to get a glimpse of them!!
Excellent video and camera work, nice down to earth commentary too - subscribed 👍
Thanks Mark - really appreciate the kind words and sub! 👍🏼
Nice Video! That's hunting! 😊 Waidmannsheil! 🌿🌿🌿
Well done Owen, my .270 is 1" @ 100 so just come half way down and whack it. I never mess with the RF and clicks..too much going on. But you got it.
Great production on this, really immersive.
Glad you liked it!
Great footage Dan… Lovely place..Sika are truly special.. Love the call 👍🦌🇫🇷🌿📯
Nice footage. Well done on a steady second shot Owen. Congratulations for a successful stalk, great memory for you...🤗
Ya need to take me shooting nath …..good video
Nice video. Good to show a miss it happens to everyone 👍.
Could have all the best gear in the world but like anyting you can still miss great to show a miss and not all the good hits best part of a series showing what can really happen sika one hardy animal 😉
Loved this. Great production
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. We have adapted our film style slightly, to make the viewer feel more immersed in the action, like they are really there following along on the hunt too. With the immersive sights and sounds around we experienced.
Who needs a thermal when you have a BMH !🤔😉🦮
Great film pal..had you not shot that setup out to 300 ? A good clean miss is the best miss and we all have done before ..cheers
Great vid, perfectly catches the atmosphere of an early morning stalk in a beautiful location. This isn't a criticism purely a point of interest but I was surprised to see you stalking with 'ear defenders' on, particularly with a moderator on the rifle too.
I obviously wear mine during range and practice etc but would find them a hindrance when on a stalk, especially 'over-ear' models. Does anyone else wear ear protection whilst stalking?
You certainly have all the tools boys lol
Good follow up shot Owen, are you using a .308?
Thanks! Yes using .308 👍🏽
Great video, I’ve subscribed. It’s always interesting to know what caliber is being used please
Thanks a lot & grateful for your sub to our channel. Lots more hunt films to come before the end of the year! Caliber being used in this film was .308w 👍🏽
👍👍
What's the sticks you're using?
Viper Flex Journey Carbon 👍🏽
We're about in the highlands we're u Owen?
Sutherland, so further north of the Highlands. 👍🏽
All that flash guns an gear an guide but still a poor shot lol
Funny that, you can have all the gear yes, but we’re still only human.. we won’t hide from that - that’s the reality when it comes to hunting!
Great film as usual and a well composed follow up👍. Sorry ,but just not a fan of all this thermal hunting . Seems like the art of spotting the quarry will be lost and gives unfair advantage .
As for the follow up an impressive image in poor light, but I expect a good dog would have got there first, my preference all day every day.
Fairly bad quality animals far superior sika's in Ireland
This is showing only a little glimpse of this area. The next Sika film to follow will show a much better Stag. 👍🏽😃
@CervusUK ireland 🇮🇪 has the biggest sika and that is 100% fact i have many pictures of big animals i shot to prove it them uk sika aint great at best
Big medal class sika in that county mate
