Haa....stumbled across your videos, nice work and great country mate, this is exactly why I'm pushing for better fitness at the gym. We're on the Coast as much as we can and I'm always out with the rifle looking for a deer. Cheers Jamie.
With the light rem mag make sure your getting some positive load on the bipod for recoil management, took me ages to get the hang of that when i first got one
Cheers mate. Yea definitely what hunting is about. Yea that narrow fella was still pretty young for me - I'd say he'd be lucky to be 5. Have to keep walking past these fellas - big boy is just around the next corner
By any metric, Crispi boots are 3X better constructed than any Lowa Boot. The 2 boots you compared are built for totally different purposes and comparing them is ridiculous. Coming to a ‘this “brand” is better than the other from such a comparison is equally ridiculous. The fact you don’t know why the Crispi’s are more waterproof shoes that you haven’t read any literature, watched any videos or done ANY research on the construction of these boots. So, how in the world is someone to take your analysis seriously?? FWIW - Crispi and some of the other SERIOUS mountaineering boot manufacturers use a seamless gore-Tex bootie that’s inserted into the boot and glued in place without a single stitch puncturing the membrane. LOWA uses the typical method found in cheaper hiking boots- they use a piece of goretex that only drapes over the top of the foot and is then glued and sewn to the sole. THAT is a weak point where leaks INEVITABLY occur. Spend a little time looking into Crispi boot construction. Look, I’m not saying Crispi is the best for all scenarios, although they make my go-to boots for most mountain hunting; but compared to Lowa I don’t see how Lowa could come out on top. Crispi is one of the brands to buy for 10-20 years and have re-soled as needed. I’m a full time, year round professional hunting guide. I’ve been fortunate to have hunted all over the world over the past 35 years. Given that, I have tried MANY boots and have, personally, settled on Crispi to keep my feet healthy and happy in extreme places.
Tough question as my main recommendation for anyone is to buy the best boots your budget can afford. That way your feet are comfortable, dry and the boot lasts longer. A cheaper set may last 1/2 as long as a more expensive set of good boots so you end up spending the same in the long run.. And then it comes back to the use case as well. If someone was still looking at going cheaper then maybe start doing some research in the area of scarpa boots.
Depending on where you hunt consider temp and moisture. In wet colder areas always go for a rubber insulated. Not sure where you are but for warmer/dryer climates I wear a Blundstone/Chelsea type boot. Military surplus boots are great also and some have Gore-tex for less than US$100.
I have had my zamberlans for 5 years they stil as good the day I brought them if u have herd they falling apart early on maybe left at the back door and dog has chewed them
Having used both Lowa and the Zamberlans, the Zamberlans are far more comfy and the Lowa just can't even compete as far as Durability. Talking with suppliers I've been told Lowa are terrible with honoring warranty issues.
Lovely captured and Absolutely very interesting video to watch, appreciate your efforts and hard work for sharing your lifestyle documentary video channel .. the beautiful filming captured looks spectacular gorgeous .. keep it up Sir .. Merci beaucoup
Awesome adventure man. I'm in Colorado, regularly hunt our Elk, Mule Deer, and one day some sheep. Been starting to lay plans to visit NZ. Is this south island action?
If you have nz topomaps - find a public land spot around lake pukaki you can comfortably around in. If you are going in winter look out for nannie groups - a bull will be not far away. If in spring (November is a good time) stay lower than you think. Like clock work at 4-5pm you'll start to watch the animals drop down to the new growth.
Hi Bevan looking at doing a trip next year this looks like an amazing to flying and spend a few days with my nephew any chance you could share some info privately cheers Maurice
Well done, nice animal. I know that feeling of pressure trying to locate the biggest bull. Heart pumping and the anxiety of walking up hoping you got it right.
@@bevanbolger7284 The wider area is as interesting as the feet and a few tahr. Whether the mobs are not seen or edited out to try to protect them (hunters doing pest control) is another situation of interest, as is other species (if) encountered. Does show some of the current veg to good effect in very localised sites. The wider basins and bluffs in the open, and panoramas of the bush canopy are also interesting to see in their current condition, as is recent erosion. Some of that bush there has "character" and doesn't look any nicer with time.
Hi Tim, Haven't bothered to get him aged. Potentially taken taken 1year too early - don't really feel like he would have got dramaticly better if left for another year though. Bay tines - tight and pretty weak. 36inch so still shy of the 40inch mark. Maybe another year would have put him over 40?
