Here is Part 5 of Andre Alipate and Jamie Carle's 7 day hunt into Victoria's High Country in pursuit of Sambar
Please note that the animal taken by Andre is a mature hind, not a young spiker - as referred to initially during the stalk. It's bone growths on its skull were mistaken for early stages of velvet.
This follows on from:

I aim to wrap up days 6 and 7 into one film (Part 6), to round off the series. I aim to do this within the next week. Tune in for what happens next... more deer encounters in the final hours of hunt than what we have seen for the previous 5 days...
Until then, feel free to share this series of films with family and friends.

Would love to have you make an educational video solely about hunting in different types of terrain (bush, hill country, alpine) under different types of weather conditions based on your experience. Taking into account time of day (morning, afternoon, evening), sunny/overcast/mix, wind direction, animals activity level (feeding, bedding, transition between feeding and bedding). A video covering as many basic scenarios as possible.
Thanks mate, that is a big ask - and as much I would love to attempt such project(s) - I think there are FAR more qualified people out there than I am to pull together such a comprehensive video. I guess though, I am shedding light on (my version(s) of) hunting different game, at different times of the year in small bite size chunks with the release of each hunting film. In addition to the film media I have been slowly putting up since Jan 2018, I have previously covered a range of backpack hunting topics as a regular columnist for the NZ Hunter Magazine for 4 ~years (I wrote ~24 Issues in total) covering a variety of topics re: hunting chamois, tahr, red deer, sika, pigs, fiordland wapiti and sambar at almost any season (spring, summer, autumn, winter) and in a wide variety of terrain (easy stuff, hard stuff). And I have written other articles on my personal hunting website which may be useful/ insightful www.mountainman.co.nz - although I am well overdue to totally overhaul that website with more content that is filled away in note books. But I feel very privileged that you've considered my suitability for such a task. Cheers Jamie
Thanks for taking the time and thorough answer. Really feel you should do a seperate video on that topic regarding the amounts of experience you have. Although you mention bits and pieces here and there. Would be great to have specific video/content that talks just about strategy. May I ask if you are at liberty to share your articles for NZ Hunter Magazine regarding red deer, sika, wapiti and sambar? At last, really enjoy your films. Shows that you really care about hunting, the animals and the environment! Big compliment!
@@KF-og4pd thank you mate, vey kind words. The only way i could think of getting the NZ Hunter magazine articles would be to see if you can buy them online. I stopped writing for them at the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011, www.nzhunter.co.nz ,
Ill start by reading the material on your website and hopefully one day you will do an entire video on that topic ;-) Again, very thankfullfor you taking the time and sharing some of your experience. Best regards from Norway
@@KF-og4pd your most welcome mate,
Mate you have not only worked hard while hunting but to put this video together as well as you have is a credit to both you and Andre. To take a couple of animals in the way that you did is just icing on the cake. I was looking forward to this video and it was fantastic to watch the days events unfold. Thanks for sharing and a top job also on the narration.
Thanks Robbo, its a pleasure to share in a passion that I have so much energy and time for. And to hear and read that others not only enjoy it too but to see messages and emails where people say they are motivated to get out there and give it a go, is fantastic. My attitude towards anything is that we are all only here on this planet for a short while and in that time we should do as much learning and knowledge sharing (and passing on of the baton) as possible. And my hunting journeys will one day (not anytime soon i hope) come to an end, so by filming and sharing the experiences I am hoping those stories, journeys, and
the ups and the downs can still be enjoyed by others. Thanks for being in my corner, cheers
One of the best sambar videos I have ever seen. A true inspiration for aspiring hunters out there. Keep up the good work Jamie
Mate, thats very humbling to hear thank you, means a lot to read comments like this. Awesome
Bloody awesome! When the camera hit the deck and hearing the shots and seeing the results a beautiful animal. Then Andre's stalk and shot. It sounded like his arrow hit a tree with the loud impact. All the environments and the animals that live there bring such joy to all hunters around the world. Keep up the great work 👍
On ya Sam - thanks for watching! Yes his arrow made a helluva wallop - I couldn't believe it. From memory, I am pretty sure he was using one of his 100g Northern Broadheads with a 1 inch cutting diameter; which Andre happens to sell online www.northernbroadheads.co.nz/collections/single-bevel/products/100gr-little-evil
Fantastic! What a great end to a awesome story. Loved it.
Full credit to you on such a quality vid, plenty of heart and humility in this one, something we need to see more of in hunting media.
Sambar with a bow, no easy thing. Hat off to you both. Really enjoyed this series. Thanks
Thanks mate, i was stoked with how Andre pulled off the bow stalk and executed a copybook kill. I have always had a high respect for bow hunters, but to watch it all unfold was fantastic. They really are so patient and pick their moments to make any movemement. And what patience
Mate, that was a breathtaking experience to watch. Was on the edge of my seat watching Andre tip toe into position to get a shot on that stag, what amazing moment to capture. Also loved what you had to say about kinship at the end of the video, I felt that. Well said mate. I’m only new to deer hunting (about 1.5 years into it) but your videos and content has inspired me to venture into the high country to chase the bigger sambar out there. Thanks for the effort you’ve put into these videos! Love your work!
Awesome to see hear Zach ! Goodluck in the steep stuff 🙌
Another exceptional video Jamie. And once again thanks for sharing it with us and I am so so happy you and Andre both got a Deer.👍👍👍👍
Cheers Shaun, we were thrilled too especially after 5 days of working lots of gullies, faces, ridges, bush flats, and systems, and particularly after having abonded big plans to go deep into the main divide (plan A), so it was certainly a highlight and felt well earnt, despite the fact it was a fall back option.
This was a brilliant series you have put together Jamie, kudus to you and Andre for the effort that went into your successful hunt, its been a pleasure to share this journey from the sidelines with you both, thanks for sharing this with us all.
thanks Hank, its very pleasing to read comments like this - i must be doing something right. And its a pleasure to shine a light on something that is very important to me (and possibly the wider hunting conmunity). Sambar and the victorian high country go hand in hand withother so well, I know for certain i will be continuing to come back year on year
What a great representation of what hunting is all about. You have done us all a great justice.
Congratulations
well, thank you very much kind sir, it is a pleasure
MountainMan HuntingFilms like minded mate. My pleasure
What a journey Jamie, I feel privileged to have watched that result and all of you and Dre's hard work come to fruition. Only a true hunter knows that feeling of accomplishment, and to share that experience with your best mate is some thing words can't describe, but you did a bloody good job of it. Thank you for taking us along.
thanks Tom, i know you would fully get it mate, theres nothing quite like the southern alps to forge some commonalities between hunters!!
@@MountainMan_NZ Too true brother, it builds character that goes further than just hunting. I seriously don't know how you can live in west oz knowing the hunting you have in your homeland, I commend you on that my mate.
Phenomenal! Lost for words. How you articulate the emotions and thoughts that are carried through the hunt is mesmerizing.
Patrick, that is fantastic to hear mate, I am pleased it struck a cord!
So so so good bro!!! Edge of my seat the whole time man, the stag was awesome enough but Andres bow kill is the ultimate cherry on top!
cheers Alex, much appreciated brother!! It certainly all came together that day!! An awesome experience to document and share !
Wicked. Thoroughly enjoyable as always Jamie. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I'm heading off for four days hunting this morning, just had time to watch day 5 before leaving. Inspirational. Thanks again mate.
Great stuff and good luck! Hope you have a fulfilling trip and make the most of everyday!
Fantastic Jamie great footage, great hunt, I look forward to see part 6.
Thanks again for watching mate,
Hi Jamie just watched this again and I have to say this is a great piece of film making regardless of the fact that you managed to take 2 animals the vision and the mood you created was fantastic with Andre walking away in the mist it reminded me of that amazing sepia photo of you and Andre and the dog ,as an amateur landscape photographer I would have loved to take that shot
Rod George thanks mate, this was a special EP to film and share. Glad you enjoyed it
Well done guys, glad u got urself a nice sambar for the trip bud. Loving the series keep up the good work
cheers GB!
Thats it mate, when you put in the hard work every sambar is a worthy trophy regardless of its size or gender. Well done to both of you and thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
cheers Sinni, you are most welcome mate
Mate this is one of the best hunting films I have seen. Well done you two are great ambassadors for hunters everywhere well done.
jeeeez, thanks mate, that's very humbling to hear
What a epic end to a thrilling series, very well done👌 Congrats on a successful trip boys 🤙
Thanks Regan, it took a while for things to finally come together , but we felt like the stars all aligned for us on day 5!
Top effort pal...a great reflection of doing the hard yards...love your work...thanks for sharing
cheers Gav, right back at ya brother!!
Awesome work you guys, day 5....what a day!
Thanks, when things all fall into place its like you can't do anything wrong, but we all know how rare that can be (stars aligning)!!
MountainMan HuntingFilms So true but only happens when you put in the hard yards
Thanks heaps for sharing.Life long memories are created in situations like these.I take my hat off to bow hunters like Andre for their finely honed skills.Your narration is once again top shelf and I appreciate the effort that you both put in.Cheers.
Absolutely spot on Rob, its days like this one that will be spoken about around (our) dining tables and at family gatherings for the rest of our lives. Cheers for watching
I love watching a hunting mate harvest a deer up close.We need to hunt more often to fuel the soul.
@@highcountryrob5534 absolutely agree. So important for our general health and wellbeing, it may sound crazy but i feel totally replenished and recharged after an exhausting week away hunting
Yep! Keep it quiet or all the blokes in Australia will take up hunting and we will need car parks up the bush!👍
Awesome!! Love ya work and also the story you tell as hunt moves on,
And to see Dre get that hit on bow
Is just awesome🤙
on ya charles, thanks mate
Good video. Not many people can get a sambar with a bow, well done. Great to see you get a nice stag for your hard work too.
Thanks Josey, i have the utmost respect for bow hunters (compound and especially traditional bow), its the ultimate hunting challenge. One i am not yet ready for with sambar, yet!
Congratulations not only on your results of your hunt, but also on a very well made,exciting and educational piece, thanks Again.
cheers mate, pleased to hear you enjoyed it and learnt a thing or two (even if what NOT to do!)
Great hunt lads and what a great finish. Fantastic footage of the stork. Top words about kinship and hunting connections etc. your always welcome to Australia to hunt and share your philosophy. Well done lads!!
Thanks Darren, very much appreciated and a pleasure to shed light through our hunting lens, so to speak
Congrats to both Andre and yourself Jamie :)
Thanks for always sharing your videos and the honesty and humility you speak with in all of them. Its one ofnthe reaskn i endeavored to watch all of your vids :)
Thanks jeremy, those are very kind words, and I'm pleased you enjoyed the series
Wow, that is an amazing hunt and a brilliant video. Thank you.
thanks Ben
Great video, it is like nothing else to be immersed in the timeless bush that has been the survival grounds of those before, for me it is not for a Douglas score, bragging rights or even meat it's chasing a primal instinct that is always on my mind.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Thanks Clancey, and very well said
Well done Jamie and Andre, that was a special story. I've never anticipated the next instalment quite like this one. Definatly one to remember.🤘🏼
Thanks Scott, yeah i getcha - the end is perhaps a bit too D&M for a hunting film, but I am sure many of you who hunt or go bush with close mates will understand that kinship. Its one of the things i enjoy about getting out in the hills , animals and hunting aside, is the camaradie,
MountainMan HuntingFilms Hey Mate, there is no doubt you you are my favourite deer hunter of all time, and I feel nothing but privileged to learn from you what I have throughout the year. I want to ask you Jamie if there is anyway that we could meet in the future and go on a hunt together? You’re a great human being and there is no one that I would rather cut my teeth with, I know how big of an ask it is
, but put simply I cannot think of anyone else who I’d rather share the experience with. If you could drop me an email at srhbowhunting@icloud.com that would be great. Cheers
cheers scott, ill flick you an email
Well done and great work, thanks for the trip and best regards.
thanks for watching brother, its much appreciated!
Awesome result, getting a sambar with a bow is impressive and on film, well done.
thanks Tony, yes the stars aligned for us that day!
Awesome work guys my brother and me seen you up on the road to jemmeson that was closed . Nice to see you guys had a successful trip . All the best in your next one look forward to seeing more videos
Hey Bosko!! thanks mate, yeah we made the most of the change in pIans mate, as you could appreciate she was pretty harsh conditions on their way in, and with winds, high rain and a heap more snow i believe we all made the right call to adapt plans
That was an Epic hunt Jamie from you and Andre. Congrats to you both on your hard work and efforts. You've done an excellent job putting that clip together as you do with all your videos. Thanks for sharing it with us loved every minute mate. 👍
Great to hear you enjoyed it mate, Its been a pleasure sharing insight on an activity that i have so much passion towards, and with my lifelong mate Andre.
Wow, what is an amazing series. Awesome viewing. The editing and what you have produced is something the National Geographic or Smithonian channels would be proud of. (Just my opinion). Cheers for sharing.
geee thanks brother, that is very humbling to hear,
Magnificent stuff! 👍 as inspirational as it gets
cheers Dan, thanks again for watching and stoked you enjoyed it
That's absolutely epic!! from sleeping in the snow to the number of hard trodden aussie bush kilometres you guys did, testing both mental and physical limits, which all culminates into to making the reward that much sweeter! and all captured on video so well! Stayed up and watched all these in a row! I have a question, which you may already know the answer,... obviously we utilise all possible tools to hand for a fair hunt and as we all wear camo, have you ever thought of wearing a ghillie suit to help blend in more and not get busted by our quarry?
Thanks Garth, glad you enjoyed the series. I do have a gillie suit and use it for bow hunting. You may enjoy this series Sept 2019 Sambar Bow Hunt, Backpacking: ruclips.net/p/PLNkArlQDE2lk03oi_upUuXanc_gQQFMFo
One of the most exciting videos I’ve watched. Congrats
on ya Daniel, thanks mate
Well done guys! Fantastic video...great team work to get the second animal 👍🏻
cheers Mark, thanks for staying tuned til day 5 when it all came together. If i had interesting and close encounters on days 2 or 3 i would love to have shared them lol, but that's hunting right, and sambar keep you on your toes right up until you come onto the track near the vehicle on your last day... as was the case on day 7 actually.. but more on that in the final instalment
Well done boys on a nice stag and a very old hind your respect and effect to hunting samba is to be admired great videos
thanks Scott, we had a blast exploring the vic high country, and while things didn't go to Plan (A), we made the most of being in what I truly regard as Australia's finest terrain!! Cheers for watching
Awesome mate, congratulations on the hard earned stags
cheers phil; although as it turned out the animal andre took was a mature hind with bone growths on its head which we mistook for early stages of velvet. So our reference to it as a stag on camera was ill informed! Thanks for watching
Mate that was brilliant. Actually feels like we were there. You blokes make one mean hunting team that’s for sure. Cheers 🤙
Cheers Reece!! Yeah hitting the hills with Dre is always time well spent! Counting down til the next big one..
Awesome brother just awesome!!!...you and your bro doing the hard yards and delivering the goods.
Churr brother!! I know you definately know that feeling!! I've seen you and Big O retrieve animals from over a 1km away in some bloody steep and thick bush and spend a full day recovery mission. Kudos mate, big fan of yours!!
Tumeke bro...keep up the outstanding effort with your hunting, editing and superb narration...look forward to seeing your next adventure....and you are so right about the adventure being measured on "effort"...perfect words to describe how I see things to bro!!
Mate congratulations on a great hunt and great vid. Cant wait to get out there my self in a few weeks
Great to hear Ryan, you will have a blast!! September is a good month to be in the hills
@@MountainMan_NZ yeah mate so pumped might even do a little bit my self hahaha
@@ryanlittle5210 absolutely you should, that way we can all get our (RUclips) sambar fix when unable to get out on the hill!
Fantastic result. Well done to you both
Cheers Alex, was a very memorable day
I noticed myself smiling when Andre smacked his one with the bow. I doubt many people (in general) can appreciate the effort that goes into that moment and the emotions experienced at the time. Its also possible that quite a few of the like minded people watching your videos do understand though.
yeah mate hands down the best moment of the trip!!! I felt as invested in that stalk as what Andre did haha and all i did was try hold the camera without shaking haha
You did a great job that's for sure. To get one Stag is great achievement, but to get one each is a credit to you both.
Remarkable mate, one of your best yet
thanks brother, I feel the same way about this one. Every adventure with Andre is certainly one for the memory bank, and before I took up filming, I used to take photos of all our trips. The dozen photo albums (literally thousands of photos) are full of very special memories from hunting with Dre (and others) in some pretty remote and rugged terrain, and in all sorts of weather conditions. And while I cherish those memories captured as a moment frozen in time, there is nothing quite like being able to express what those moments mean to me than with film. I am only 7 months into this film making journey and i feel like i am only just scratching the surface. It's a very exciting feeling!! cheers for watching, much appreciated
That's magic, and your films are magic. They get better and better with each one. I'm heading out for a stalk with my brother this weekend, my freezer is full so maybe I'll take the mavic instead of a rifle and get some footage instead. Legend mate, keep it up.
Bloody awsome Jamie 👏🏻 always enjoy watching your hunts and this one was nothing short of spectacular brotha 🤙🏻
on ya Dan! Now I'm itching to hear how you, Ryan and Zane get on next week!!! (Very Envious)
MountainMan HuntingFilms we gna hunt hard mate, it’s going to be a BIG week!
Mate well done, awesome work 👌
thanks mArk much appreciated matey
Well done lads, both very well earned deer and great videos again mate.
thanks mate, appreciate the support
put in the miles and reap the smiles 10/10 absolute ripper
cheers davey, yes i must admit, from my own experiences I seem to take away more in terms of fulfillment from the hunts where more effort and time is invested not only during the hunt, but all the months of preparation (training, planning, research, equipment trialing, equipment purchases, map reading etx ...). I am already throughly looking forward to the next hunt in several weeks time. A new spot to explore on the map :)
Even better watching it for the second time.
Awesome to hear Hank!
Awesome vid bro!!
Cheers Jason, it's always a great adventure hunting with Andre
I think those deer might have been sneaking of to do a maccas run during the day thats why you didnt see many and they had fatty organs
Great u show your human side thinking of the animal ... many that knock us will throw multiple uneaten chickens away after Christmas dinner without thought yet critisize us for hunting ... being humain is part of being a good hunter ... hard work pays off . Enjoyed this vid cheers
Thanks you mate 🙏
Again an awesome watch mate. Great to see you both finally get your quarry and you manage to get a nice stag and some prime venison. To get it all on film is a bonus as you know but cannot always be accomplished unfortunately.
I have seen them with plenty of fat on when in velvet and just about finished stripping velvet.
Look forward to watching no:6.
Cheers and safe hunting to you both.
cheers DRL!
Awesome result.
thanks mate, we felt chuffed after all the effort leading up to and during the hunt. Another hunt to look back on in years to come
Love the bare feet stalking. Reminds me of Sika hunting in the kaimanawas as a young fella trying to stay quiet behind the old boy and not get the death stare 😂😂😂
cheers mate, yes the kaimanawas has some dry northern faces of beech forest which can be very noisy. Ive also done the same with sika, sneaking around in neoprene booties. thanks for watching
Powerful message of kinship
thanks mate
13:30 grouse moment captured!!! rad
glad you enjoyed it HD, think my (dropped) shooting footage resembles one of your recent clips, although at least you could still see you haha. I certainly take my hat off to those of you who manage to capture stags on film; amazing. Cheers for watching
that was cool 👍
cheers mate, glad you enjoyed
Its not what u get it’s how u achieve it some are hunters and some are shooters there’s a difference I no ever stag I have taken has a story I can tell in great depth many years after the hunt
Awesome mate! Love a good story!
