Watch all your videos mate. Love your channel especially your bow hunting. Ime a wanganui hunter done a lot of hunting around the Waitangi station area. 👍👌
Love that station! Thanks for the vid and tip on gopro 👍🏻 Yes those hills are steep. Love that you keeping it real with the heavy breathing. Feedback: check your bow hand, seems you are grabbing it on the shot.
Hi from kiwi from Cambridge living perth bow hunt here wa good vid bro. Good tip on boots. Taught us nz army look after your feet they your wheels happy safe hunting bro
I just recently found out that wild turkeys live in New Zealand. If you ever get a chance to hunt turkeys in any of the southern US states I’d encourage you to take it. A lot of people hunt them here and they are as wild as you will find.
Hey chap, how did the Maori Chief cook up? Maybe try a cluster of kinas in a slightly deeper spot for snapper next time you have go. Looked a bit shallow and expensive what you were doing there.
I don't know what you mean by Maori Chief, sorry. Yeah was a bit expensive, was really just doing the best I could with what I was able to access, big things will be coming from now on though. Thanks heaps for watching!
Hi Jc, love your hunting videos mate, i am based in auckland, i was wondering if you can share where you go hunting for goats, or any contacts, i am willing to pay or whatever cost if thats the case, please mate..thanks.
Hey mate, thanks a lot for watching! Don't pay for goats, there's an abundance of them on farmland, that farmers want gone. Just drive around until you see goats on farmland, my advice is around Hunua, go knock on the door with a box of beer, the beer is just a gift so the farmer hears you out, then tell about who you are, and that you'd like to help them out by knocking over a few goats, there's a high chance they'll tell you to go for it, but always respect their right to say no. If by some chance they do say no, try again with the neighbours on either side. Good luck, and happy hunting!
Great video! Good shot. I shot a black fallow buck just like yours way up in Steele Creek, in the Greenstone Valley, in May, 1974, during a six-day trip into there. Also shot black fallow bucks in the Paparoa Range in 1972. Check out my hunting memoir 'RED DEER WRITING', now available in its new edition through any bookshop in NZ.
Fallow spread like crazy. In 1972 they were almost everywhere in the Paparoa Range, and we shot ours in the southern part of the range near Barrytown. Fallow have during the past 20 years spread up the Wilberforce and the Rakaia, and into the front hills around Glentunnel and Springfield.
Yup a young family will certainly put the brakes on🤪🤪Just do what you love doing mate and it will stay enjoyable. Where are you based?? Always keen on missions with fellow creators. I’m in Christchurch.
Personally like the story type hunting videos and don't care if an animal goes down. Actually more realistic if you have trips where you dont succeed (If that makes any sense)
Awesome Video Mate and love your style and how clear and informative your video was. I'm a Xbow hunter so will give this a go for pigs. What about hanging some Bait in a pillow case etc up in the wind which they can't reach so it really spreads around the area? Cunning creatures huh
I'm not a hunter myself but I really enjoyed that video. The lead up to your prize and walking us through it .Felt like I was right there with you 👍.Thanks.
I thought that too, searched for a blood trail for ages, and couldn't find anything, it wasn't until I got the footage back home and really analyzed it, that what looks like a wound on the rear pig, was actually a piece of spine blown off from the pig in front, pretty crazy.
As an old hunter I’ve killed many turkeys with shotgun and .22 rifle, but gave them up in favor of a bow. It’s usually a more difficult method for sure. The better you have camouflaged yourself is most important. Turkeys see colors and can pick out the slightest movement. I also have way better results hunting from the ground. Where I hunt the Rio Grande turkey is the bird of the land. Apparently!they are always looking up for owls and hawks so hunting from a tree stand very rarely works as anything new is seen almost instantly. Even a simple brush blind seems to work very well. A pop up blind left for a few days will work mostly but usually not on the first day or two as they are skittish about it in my experience. I have always used two blade heads on everything and they will get me pass thru hits easily on turkeys. 👍👍
Rangi tahrtahr? Next min Maori be clamen they bring the tahr to NZ lol don't give them ammo 4 our retard government or they will give them the tahr. Nice video thou
I would love to give that a go, unfortunately they don't seem so responsive to the odd call here, maybe because our turkeys come from a domestic bloodline. Or maybe I've just never hunted them in their peak mating season, due to their diet of crickets during mating season contaminating the meat.
@@jchunting in the states we hunt them in the spring and fall. The tactic you guys were doing is what we do in the fall. We get close then bust up the flock by shooting over them, Turkey dog or just running at them. Then give it like 20 minutes or so then setup and use hen yelps , purrs to call them back to you. This tactic plays off of the birds are relocating each member of the flock. Now I’m the spring we just shoot the toms/gobblers and that a whole different thing that is when the mating season is. We use locators ( owls, crows and peacocks) to get the birds to shock gobble then call them in like a lonely hen. That’s when it gets exciting. We also roost the birds by locating where the birds are sleeping that night then get up early and sneak in way before daylight and try to be within shotgun range and as soon as he hits the ground call at him or he may land in your direction and kill them like that.
@Nick Summerfield the flavour of the crickets gets into the meat, tastes disgusting, taints it a slight green colour too, our general rule is don't eat turkeys in months with an R in them, and unfortunately they mate in September
