This has become by far my favourite channel on RUclips. Such great content lads! I'm just getting into hunting later in life but find this super inspiring
Leaps and bounds ahead of the rest!!You guys produce the best quality and most enjoyable films from the southern hemisphere, and this is probably your best! Love the info on Kea conservation in particular. A lot of other hunting channels could learn quite a bit from your films.
@South Island Rifle Walkers if I ever get the opportunity to visit NZ I'd love to go up on the high ground to see them. We don't have anything like them here in the UK unfortunately. It's a sad fact that non-hunting people don't realise the spectacular wildlife experiences we have when hunting, regardless of where we are in the world, and that those experiences are every much a part of the hunt as pulling the trigger! Keep up the good work guys - It's always a good day when you post a new film!!
Onya . . . sat down to have a watch after a long day. Really enjoyed the footage showing the antics of both the young Tahr and that crazy fun Chamois. Thanks for sharing. Its a nice spot in there (and yeah, that sunburn didn't look pleasant eh . . . I usually snuggle in under the snowgrass!) Keep em coming . . . bloopers and all.
. . . forgot to mention tho . . . some improvement in the shooting skills might be needed to kinda bring that up to the same v.good standard of film shots aye!
Massive effort lads. 👍👍 Looked to be a fair few kms walked!! Got some awesome bulls to remember the hunt for years to come. Ya see the snow rolling down the shute in the background at 18:53?
Usually we try and carry out as much as possible however this time due to the length of the trip as well as being summer the meat would never of lasted so none was brought out this trip. May seem a little rough if your from overseas but there is actually no law requiring you to take any meat in NZ and they are actually considered to be a pest here due to how much damage they can cause if numbers get too high so ground shooting is a good form of conservation. We either shot with a 308 or 300 Win Mag, this trip we took the 300 Win Mag
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Need to shoot a lot more to be playing the conservation card, and not taking meat is not the sin some preach about. Some put in a lot of effort to carry out dog tucker, the cooking efforts shown in places would make a rat or old ram taste the same. Good filming, it's interesting to see the current state of the various places and these snapshots in time are good records, and the effort produced the results. Those films of the animals playing are great, they get up to some unbelievable antics. Would be interesting what deer are about there.
@@johnmead8437 definitely wasn't the bomb up we were aiming for, but mentioning conservation in our videos is just as much about spreading good practices as getting it done ourselves 👍
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 That might be optimistic plus. While the idea of rec hunters was trialled (the wilderness ballot), reality shows the incentive & ability are near absent from that group to get any meaningful results, including population information. Listening to rechunters skiting about how they found and threw away the location pegs for vegetation plots speaks volumes (outtheredoingit: those monitoring plots were established in the early 1990's). If having a go at knocking a mob over, don't leave any if possible. Get them in the right place & if unlikely to get a good proportion, it's no sin to leave them. NZDA etc advice to shoot 2 & leave some for seed has made a lot of tahr wary, made control by shooting far more difficult, and spread them (as has the efforts of DoC skidbiters, that we paid for). There seems to be a lot more than many assert. The good filming keeps up some interest what's happening in those places
Looked to be more tahr than when i was in their 2019 but it was rut time. Surprisingly considering they killed a metric shit tonne of tahr of there last 3/4 years
“Is that Greg duley up there?” 😂 good laugh

What model Nixon camera do you use?
P1000 , great camera for getting animal footage
