Beautiful country and vid….agree with Jordan, it would be nice if you incorporated some details of your firearms and info on projectiles. I’ve watched and enjoyed a number of your hunts but as a shooter it just rounds it out if you bring your equipment into the story. Cheers.
Awesome piece of armchair hunting 4me .The God's & elements, were definitely on your side .Only advice I have is you need to slit the animals throats, & bleed them asap. As the consumption of blood is carcinogenic.Which was always the practice of the oldtimers,& what we were taught at at Linchon College,as meat Inspectors. Happy future Hunting chaps. €:-)
Thanks for watching Roger, glad you enjoyed it. I hear you but often by the time we cover the distance of the shot the animals heart has stopped beating so we can’t bleed them anymore.
don't really get why you'd want to shoot two stags and waste most of the meat off them. Last time I checked that's not what honest, ethical hunters did.
Second that. Hunting is mainly done for the meat, a nice trophy is cool but should not be the main object in my opinion. Now I know that hunting in the mountains is hard and meat recovery is difficult but nonetheless it should be done, wasting it is really not great. Killing only for the trophy (or two) is definitely not cool. Regards from a hunter in Europe, Austria - home of the chamois
You probably need to check again because in nz back country we have a quickly expanding deer population. Really the right thing to do was shoot every deer they saw to decrease the herd size. If hunters dont start doing this the government will start a seek and destroy policy with helicopters like they have with out thar. Ethical hunters keep the population in sustainable numbers for the habitat.
Hunters generally don't want to or have the actual skill to keep the population in check. This includes DoC e.g. tahr, wellingtons' deer etc. Thar organized "cull" jollies will show a few individuals would have shot the great majority of kills. The rest there were a waste of jet A1 and a disturbance and education factor making future such jobs much harder (despite many tahr often being pretty stupid). DoC will not improve methods while their staff are playing with toys, getting joyrides aerial shooting and surveying to further disturb tahr, & are brown-nosing the recreational hunting lobby. They probably don't understand (or want to) the problems poor hunting causes Because while many tahr are pretty dumb, those that aren't are not seen at all by most, and getting enough of them to matter will be seriously difficult &/or really controversial. Those making noises about lack of tahr generally have little idea. @@peterclarke9232
@@johnmead8437 yes agree. I remember back in the early 80s very few thar around after the helicopter hunter days they were hunted pretty hard. Fast forward 40 year theres plenty. Just goes to show how pointless the 2050 pest free policy is you will never get the last ones.
