Gday Reg... hoping for your expertise with binoculars im interested in the lieca 10-15x50 or swarovski el 10x42 and dont know which way to go... hoping for your thoughts...thanks
Hi Brad, Leica and Swarvoski are arguably the best optics at this point in time for hunting/bird watching purposes. Sorry, but Leica doesn't produce the 10-15x50 binoculars anymore 😔 . Stay tuned, I will be doing a review on the Leica Noctivids soon. Cheers Reg 👍
Great video mate really amazing footage and great narration. thanks so much for sharing. The history of Sambar hunting in AU has to be told, shared and remembered 🙏
Yeah, l was just sending that subliminal message to be observant with the vegetation where the Sambar inhabit. Just some candid fun to get that message out😂
Hey might sound silly but whats the best way to figuer out a deers rout i been trying to get a big stag for 12 months now on private and i can never seem to find him only on the cams on the wallow
Gametrails, scrapes, rubtrees, wallows, etc. If you spend a considerable amount of time in an area, you will know. Year old cast antlers are excellent to inform you the symmetry of stags in that particular area and actual sightings help also.
Hi Rod, l think l was using the 150grn Remington Corelokts? They were devastating under 100 yards. I always found the projectile under the skin on the other side.
Thanks Reg your knowledge of Sambar is mind blowing just love watching your videos .I come over from Tas your high country is beautiful I just wish I had started hunting Sambar early in my life not at 38 cheers Rod
At certain times throughout the year. Sambar will make a beeline to those plants that are palatable to their liking at different times of the year. There's an excellent possibility to locate the Sambar deer movements and their whereabouts.👍
I posted this to my brother as soon as I heard the slippery slop of the maw chewing down for the 'taste test' and I said 'he chomping down like he nailing liquorice all sorts'... perfection... best laugh I've had on youtube for a long time
Yeah, Rhys, l love those Solomon's low cuts gortex runners. Best hunting footwear going around. But the deer don't like them because they don't hear you walking. Beats those clog hoppers hiking boots...
Hi Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There's a little light-hearted discussion throughout the video. Pure and simple, it's my way of enjoying the moment before it comes to the serious point of my hunting. They haven't built a camera fast enough to keep up with me when the hunting is really on.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry Simon, l totally understand that instant moment. When l was chewing on that chocolate bullet. Actually, the message in the video is to look about, and you will see what the deer are browsing on.👍
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully, I'm trying to get the message out to Hunters to be patient and take in everything in. The main ingredient is to enjoy those important moments whilst you are hunting. 😊👍
Hi Dave, it was long time ago! I know I was using the Remington BDL mountain 3006 rifle and a Remington 150grn Corelokt projectile. I think l shoulder shot this stag in 2018? Very fond memories to camp and hunt with Klaus Beck. Cheers Reggie
How green was the bush back then, post fire regrowth. Certainly very dry in there now. I actually sat in your camp and had lunch this week. Funny to see this video after having just been there.
Cant wait to get in here for a hunt now looks mint, can you give 1000s more viewrs videos of your hunting spots, or just gps co ordinates would be great cheers reg
Gday Reg … another great video cheers .. my name is mark and I see you announced the winner of the sambar illustrated coffee cup . I have tried to send my contact details as in email at but it won’t send , do you have any ideas on how to contact you ? Thank again kind regards Mark
Awesome as always Reg. I remember many many years ago calling you and getting you to post me your dvds! Watched them endlessly. Always envied Dennis getting on those trips with you back in the day!! My 8 year old son and I now still watch your dvds. Thanks again for sharing all you have to date.
Fantastic stuff reg. I was only just getting into chasing sambar in 04 and was dreaming of what you were living! I must admit my niche is walking them up. There is alot more info on how to chase them now but its thanks to trail blazers like yourself.
Hi James, we were virtually camping where the deer lived 35 years ago. My love for photography gave me a different mindset to the conventional stalking methods. I needed to get close and personal to the deer to get those unique photographs and footage. Most hunters misunderstand the deer! When you are dealing with an animal that has exceptional hearing, smell, and invasive skills. They (deer) will beat you 99% of the time under fair chase pursuit. Most hunters today understand how to read deer sign, knowledge on deers movement, and the best periods to hunt. There's sh-t loads of information on media forums and magazines. But nothing is spoken about how to THINK LIKE A DEER. I'm trying my best to inform new hunters through my videos, showing them the vulnerabilities of the deer once you figure them out? Today, l still enjoy spending quality time with the deer, but it's not my primary objective when l go bush. Cheers Reggie
