Join me for an overnight solo camp in the Australian High Country (Snowy Mountains) as I try to get one last trout session in before the season closes. It was cold, it was windy and the fishing was tough; but still a great camp in a beautiful location.

Alright, as expected, it seems that my views on the issue of wild horses (Brumbies) got a few people riled up. What I said in the vid is only a fraction of what I think on the topic as a whole. But as I was walking I didn’t have the time to say everything I wanted to say. So here’s my thoughts: 1. Yes, the horses have an important role to play in our modern day heritage. It's not their fault that they're here and it's a bloody shame that we have to cull such a beautiful animal. I would much rather see these animals re-homed than killed. But at the same time, the number of horses are exploding (the reason I even bought up the topic was because I saw close to 100 horses all within 1km from the car. That's a lot of horses.) We need to do something to keep the numbers in check, otherwise they will just keep expanding with no natural predators (except us). As Aussie’s, we should want to promote our unique native wildlife rather than introduced species that exist elsewhere in the world. Would you let pigs/foxes/cane toads/ feral cats etc go unchecked? Probably not. So why horses? 2. I love the old stockman culture of the High Country, and want to see that heritage carry on. Kosciuszko NP still allows people to bring their own horses to go riding/camping, or you can go on one of the guided horse tours through the park. So the culture is still essentially living on (especially in the surrounding communities) we just don’t need the thousands and thousands of feral horses roaming the park. 3. I’m not oblivious to the contradiction of me going to fish for non native trout. I would much prefer these rivers to have native fish such as Murray cod. 4. Yes, we humans do way more damage to the environment than the horses will ever do. Just look at the Snowy Hydro system and the ski resorts in the park. Nothing is perfect. But if we see an issue (feral animals in the park) and have the means and opportunity to control it, then we should. 5. Playing devils advocate, given that feral animals are here in Australia and most likely not going away, should we consider them apart of a changing ecosystem, soon to be considered native, just like dingoes? I don’t know. Perhaps. Perhaps not. But if we do allow them to stay, then we still need to keep their numbers in check by allowing people to hunt them, even in nationals parks, as we are the only apex predator. 6. Lastly, quite a few people love to point out that I’m not from the bush and grew up in the outer suburbs of Sydney (I didn’t get to decide where I was born). At least I'm getting out there and enjoying the bush now and I have a strong passion for this country and the way it’s managed.

@frumencioreyes4654 Год назад

Estoy de acuerdo con tus puntos de vista en cuanto a las especies invasivas, también aquí en Chiapas tenemos los apicultores enfrentaron la invasión de abejas africanas introducidas por humanos. Saludos

@elizabethscott7660 Год назад

The problem of excess numbers was solved in Guy Fawkes NP by allowing capture and re-homing of the horses after a disastrous and inhumane eradication program. The dedicated team that keep, train and sell them on are simply amazing. The horses make amazing rides and I can't see why the same strategy won't work in Kozi NP. Their plight is the fault of humans and they deserve a chance at a good life, not indiscriminate slaughter.

@laurencetilley9194 Год назад

I have spent a lot of time in the bush, and I am with you Scotty, the brumbies, pigs, goats, and deer have to be strictly managed or they have to go. The destruction they cause to the bush is horrendous. Thanks for sharing.

Great that you spoke out on the feral animal issue that rages across the landscape. The horses, pigs, dear have no place. When I saw you videoing the horse's I was hoping you would say something. Well done.

@ERIKOFFTRACK Год назад

Hooking the dead cat was classic mate, thats about my level of fishing lol. 100% agree about the feral horses, its a shame the issue has become so polarised. Also a shame we dont hear more recognition of or interest in the rich indigenous history of the high country which goes back many more thousands of years.

@Greg-oq5vc Год назад

Great video Scotty. Totally support your comments on the feral animals. The large brumby population is devastating to the fragile high country environment, especially around watercourses as you depicted.

@zackleclair5195 Год назад

Seeing you camp in one extreme brings me joy. I'm from Canada and have spent 4 days camping in 3 feet or approximately a meter of snow at -45 Celsius. Your videos are amazing.

@danielcheffins3666 Год назад

Good on you for bringing up the subject of brumbies. A polarising subject that no one seems to have an answer to. Given the amount you counted on one plain, the overall population most be huge. Yes they have a place in the snowy mountains but the damage hard hoofed animals do to our fragile ecosystem is devastating. We have similar issues in Victoria with deer.

@jenesisjones6706 Год назад

@andytweed5651 Год назад

I went walking through the National Park over easter and the damage from the brumbies was immense. Over our 4 days we saw literally hundreds. The mountains if horse scat really ruined parts of the experience! The only feral animal protected in a national park in the world!

@OldGoatStillGoing Год назад

A poor day fishing is still better than the best day at work:-)

@christinesouth547 11 месяцев назад

Definitely think we've grown to understand just how much damage the brumbies have done to the environment (and of course the feral pigs, deer, foxes, rabbits etc). Unfortunately when the conditions are great animals flourish, and it's the same with feral animals. Definitely a difficult conversation, but when it's an introduced species vs a native animal facing extinction we know what the right choice is. Great video. High country definitely looks like it is worth a visit!

@michaelibbotson1274 Год назад

Wow that national park definitely need to make a donation to the glue factory.

@mickwatson2177 Год назад

If you must remove the horses, trap them by mustering. As for pigs and deer allow Sporting Shooters Association Australia members into national parks to control this vermin. I am sure it wouldn't be that hard to set a permit system up that only lasted 2 weeks for example. We can't even carry guns in these parks. Perfect haven, no shooters. Need I say more? Cheers 👍 🐕 🤠

@elizabethscott7660 Год назад

I love winter camping and it has been most of the camping I've done. Often during hunting and pig capture and eradication on local properties. There's nothing quite as beautiful as winter's crisp air, clear night skies, bathing in ice cold creeks, and meals around the fire. Rabbit fur lined gloves are the best for keeping hands warm. I'm going to watch this video more than once. You're the best. Thank you.

@simonford3970 Год назад

@KenmeriCaptain Год назад

hilarious catch at the end! as for the non native animals, probably a bit controversial but I think they need to do a total cull. part of the problem is that the Aus gov has made it SO difficult for private hunters both in regards to firearms and in onselling to butchers, have mates that used to do roos but the rules and regulations are now so overbearing that it's not even close to profitable. would be even worse with brumbys cos who's gonna buy the meat. anyway great vid as usual

@tianikane3312 Год назад

I'm totally with you Scotty on the feral horses issue. We need to get rid of the 'brumbies' word and call them what they are. Feral horses. There are plenty of other places for them, not the National Parks. Horse culture is only the last few hundred years of Australian history, whereas the other animals represent thousands and thousands of years of our natural history

@rachelhilfers6953 Год назад

agree on the brumby issue, no predators except humans to kill them so there is no natural way to keep their numbers low enough to keep the feed available for the rest of the wildlife going forward, not to mention being hard footed animals they will overtime degrade the land.
