@@j.e.wilds-hunting it's hard not to feel right there, Joe has got a natural talent it seems when it comes to how he films. I'd say at least 70% of what he's filmed has forced the emotional response!! Born to 2 musicians, I started playing at 4, in my 40's now and I can play almost anything you put in my hands, I've also had a deep desire to make art and build stuff for a long time too. This is what an artist does, we make things that touch people in very specific ways, a good artist can pick and choose what emotions we want to pull out of someone. My favorite way to challenge myself is to try and grab the subconscious, I want the "I don't know what it is about this, but I LOVE IT!!!" feeling. It's difficult but ever so satisfying when I can do it! You guys are definitely artists! We recognize our own kind pretty easily. 🤗

That's great to hear! Hope you're getting some good hunting in over there at the moment!

@@j.e.wilds-hunting likewise 😁😁

Thanks Bill! Everything really went perfectly, I couldn't ask for anything better. There sure was no hiding those emotions haha! It's hard not to have a lot of respect for the animals we hunt. ❤ -Kat

Cheers man 🤙

Thanks Vincent! 👌

Cheers mate! 🤙

One day I might have to do some more guided hunts. 🤣 It really was a pretty great hunt!

thanks for that! 🤙

@@j.e.wilds-hunting keep up the great work man lovin the videos I wish I could get my wife to go in the mountains for a hunt maybe one day

Thank you Ross! It sure was a special moment! I hope you have a great memories from your first Tahr too! -Kat

@@j.e.wilds-hunting Good memories? Yes and no. My first thar-hunting trip was a memorable trip for sure. It was July 1972, and four of us youths had a week off studies in CHCH and we tramped a long, riverbed tramp up to McCoy Hut in the Clyde and shot plenty of thar there and saw plenty of chamois. Each night was around -18 C inside the hut. Coldest trip I have ever done. Little sleep was had. Avalanches were thundering down daily in the upper reaches, and two other young hunters we met there were hit and killed by one of those avalanches a few days after we'd chatted to them. It's a hard world in those mountains if you make a mistake at the wrong time. No second chances for some poor hunters. Good hunting, safe hunting. In those days there was no GPS, no cell phones, no locator beacons, no voice mail, and helicopters were not used by recreational hunters to fly them into hunting blocks. There were fewer animals about due to commercial helicopter meat-recovery operations and to the high price paid for wild meat by game meat companies in NZ. We hunted the Clyde during summer 1973 and hauled all our venison carcasses out on our backs and sold them in CHCH because we were poor university students and those deer carcasses fetched big money, tax-free for us. We sold the thar and chamois carcasses too which we shot that year, 1973, there in the Rangitata Valley. Now when I tramp in those mountains I see more animals than in the 70s.

Cheers for that Tyler! Glad to hear you guys are getting out there!! 💪💪 Ask for Nick at Christchurch Hunting & Fishing, he'll point you in the right direction! 👌
