KUIU's Brendan Burns travels to Patagonia to hunt red stag deer in the Andes with Argentina Outfitters. For details on Brendan's hunting kit, watch his gear list video: • Brendan Burns' Patagon...
great clip, interesting terrain, reminded me a bit of back home in the southern alps of new Zealand when chasing red deer. although perhaps a bit more difficult to get horses into NZ alps. lovely character stag well done and thanks for sharing again!
What outfitter did you use? Nice to see a real red stag horseback hunt. Seems most SA big game is shot a short drive away from a 4 star resort where the only thing that gets dirty is the martinis.
It appears to be a form of the very old Duck Hunter pattern from the 1940s: camopedia.org/index.php?title=Duck_hunter It's no longer considered very effective - Multicam or KUIU Vias might be a better choice.
Thanks Edward; I was looking for a way to convey the story without using narration--too many hunting films rely on it, and I don't like it. Hopefully it resonated with others, too!
We'll be sure to convey your disappointment, with a hefty side order of familial guilt, to Brendan. What would you like as an apology gift? We can push for anything from a new gun to a full guided Alaska hunt.
@@kuiuultralight Il take the hunt since he never responded. Me and my dad please, we will argue about politics on camera and eventually up in the mountains he will come around to support America and Trump. And we will also talk about how cool your gear is and my dad will constantly mispronounce your brand name.
You can't hear anything in the whole video? Or just no dialogue? The audio was a challenge on this hunt due to the wind, so there's very little talking in this final edit. However, there's music and some audio present, so if you can't hear anything, check your volume settings.
It was a great video up until the shot. It would have been a better idea to wait until a better shot presented itself. Good shot placement is very important.
williecosgrove Red deer were imported to Argentina around the turn of the 20th century as game animals. Since then they've threatened native deer populations, but the region produces such excellent specimens that there has been substantial call to keep them there as a managed game species.
We'd prefer to see animals just drop; it's better all around. In this case, this stag took a few minutes to die (I just went back and reviewed the raw footage--it's exactly seven minutes and forty seconds from the first shot to when the stag stops moving); not a few hours, not a few days. It's not as good as a perfect drop where the animal is out in thirty seconds, but not every shot goes that way. We think that, within the boundaries of good taste and respect to the animal, transparency is the better policy, even if it shows us being imperfect.
Well, we certainly try to keep it in the realm of good taste. We won't put a video out if it's one of those times when things go really badly. Anyway, your concern is both noted and appreciated--you wouldn't take the time to discuss it if you didn't care, and that's the most important thing!
We prefer that way, too. The wind was so intense in Patagonia that most of the dialog audio was completely useless, ruined by static from the wind bludgeoning the microphone (even with a dead cat fuzzy covering on the mic). So we had to come up with a solution in the editing room...which was a more musically-oriented piece.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting That makes a lot of sense. Really love your videos and the thought towards the stalk and ethical kill. Not all things in life go perfectly whether it is your hunt or your audio. You make a killer product and if things go according to plan I will be wearing one of your packs for my deer trip this year. Thank you for the reply.
Dude.......Awesome video. Love KUIU...Own 2 complete sets, but unless it's the camera angle, you are pointing that gun numerous times at that guides back....Towards the end when you are about to harvest around 10:30 ...PLUS YOU STUMBLE...Not cool.
There goes all the meat,hindquaters and then backsteaks.shot to bits what a waste,and you had horses to pack out the meat ...not good, Its called STALKING for a reason .
I hit my elk at an extreme angle this past season and although I hit the left lung, I missed the heart and the bullet exited the brisket/sternum area. The follow up shot was on the move and hit aft because I obviously didn't compensate enough, thus wrecking a good portion of one of the hind quarters. The point? Sometimes when you're under pressure not to lose a wounded animal, your only shot may be another less than optimal one. Most elk and deer hunters eventually lose a wounded animal, who is then destined to suffer and die during the next day or two. It is an extremely painful and remorseful experience, but it happens nevertheless. The moral to this story; be patient, take your time, evaluate your shot based upon location, distance, angle and your skill.
These hunters have to travel to other countries so they can hunt as their native country don't let them but to satisfy their hunger for killing they will do anything.
