Hi Jurgen, thank you for sharing your adventure, as a fellow NZ hunter I it insightful. I'm a Sth Island hunter in my retirement years, getting up to the Nth Island is doubtful! While you are sadly not sponsored, it is always interesting to know the make and calibre of a rifle, plus the distance an animal is shot from. Keep up the videoing and your adventures. By the way, love your dog 🙂
You capture the essence of why so many of us hunt just perfectly. There are many hunters filming their adventures, however yours is refreshingly different. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video, great pairing with the music but I had to pause at 13:52 to ask why you don't use a suppressor. It will save your hearing as well as Kim's. I wouldn't be without mine!
Ive used a suppressor my entire life and the unfortunate truth is that they still damage your hearing, you just less inclined to pit in hearing protection. So pretty much recently I've been working on the theory that if it doesn't have a suppressor I will remember to put in hearing protection.
@@strider_media fair enough. Yeah I've been considering getting some electronic ear plugs so that I can just leave them in the whole time that I hunt. My hearing has taken a bit too much damage from music so I need to look after it too.
Stunning video mate. A perfect portrayal of such an amazing location - The Kaimanawa Ranges. Itching to get back in there. Keep it up mate, loved the post production work. Gives me something to work towards 👊
Good man! Tahr is really its own kind of thing. Like beef crossed with lamb I like to say. Chamoisis alot like venison. Backstraps as always are the best. Gotta try it mate!
@denisrichardson3260 do you realise that Tahr are considered a pest by many in NZ? The government spends big $$ every year to shoot/cull them from helicopters to keep their numbers down.
Just found your channel. I have to be up at 5am for a meeting and I can see that your videos are about to screw that 'early night' up royally! ;-) Mate I create videos for clients for a living and I REALLY enjoyed this one. You have a DRASTICALLY under-appreciated channel, so don't get disheartened (like I do) - keep at it - because this was lush! 🙂
Really nice video mate. Super helpful for a newb like me, who is getting excited about 'gearing-up', but at the same time, recalling all the back-packing I've done around the world, which makes me think "Steady on, big fella - remember the weight"! LOL! Very nice use of b-roll that you cut-away to. This is rare in hunting videos and shows some good basis in video production that makes you stand out and will see your channel grow, for sure. I wish you all the best! 🙂
I am a kiwi. Hunting public land in New Zealand is not easy but our country is paradise and if you’re prepared to put some serious grunt in it is so rewarding!
Hunting public land is so easy it's not much of a challenge to find animals. Some species are difficult due to the sheer number of eyes & ears. While more silly ones are out there, there are still plenty that don't like people and that have been shot at. This video shows wandering about walking a rifle & dog in open easy country, having a few looks around & still bumping into deer.
It is so underrated, your videos are well filmed, well edited, why on earth it has so low numbers. Hell of a mission, to be better just if it was a trad bow😁. Cheers mate
