Great thing. So you don't use dogs to move them? Do you keep all the bulls/ bucks intact or are the ones not for breeding castrated like in cattle? And are there breeds in deer or just ecotypes (red deer /elk)?
There is a wild herd in Fiordland, plus a few in other places hunters have illegally released. Even though the numbers of wild deer are surging due to the average hunters being unable to contribute to control.
Surprised the bull he had pinned there didn't jump out, but further surprised that none of them tried kicking him at all when he was that close and looking directly at them. Very weird seeing elk actually in captivity since it's illegal where I live to keep deer of almost any kind as pets or livestock. Especially bucks and bulls because of the antlers. New Zealand doesn't really have much except weird flightless birds and marine animals to trophy hunt I suppose. Probably a bunch of invasive cats and rodents like any inhabited island.
NZ is over-run with invasive pest species, several deer species, tahr, goats, chamois, wallabies etc. With an active hunting lobby obstructing the limited and localised control that is realistic. Pests they have not a chance in hell of contributing usefully to invasive pest control without a better understanding of the issues. Not always helped by some of the science/management ideas, some are idealistic and inaccurate, hunters can be obstinate whether scientist or weekend warrior.
They are the same as the animal that is named elk in North America, it originates from Shawnee, a Native American language, and is often used by none Americans/ Canadians because elk is instead used to refer to moose in Europe.
Internationally, there is no such thing as an elk, since Cervus canadensis is internationally referred to as a wapiti while Alces alces is internationally referred to as a moose, though elk is used for Cervus canadensis only in North America while they use elk for Alces alces only in Europe.
Great presentation! Your techniques and experience result in a low stress environment for these beautiful animals. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have hunted elk for the last decade. They are incredible animals and it is great to see how you Kiwi's keep the animals health and welfare front and center. Would love to come down to the South Island for a Red Stag hunt some day. Cheers!
That is an amazing relationship you have with those big guys. The trust you and never mind the calm energy you give off to them, I think we can feel that too. I normally look at hunting videos but the management of them brought it to a whole new level.
@@angeldedios7377 Sell velvet. And an antlered stag is so much more dangerous, they know what they can do with antlers and the receiving end is not to be desired.
Excellent handling, using a clever system of doors! The animals are relatively calm. I've had a red stag rear up and start a boxing match with me once. We survived that both.
That's one for the hook, even the one with the bit attitude here is something to damage antler and handler. They change in an instant and are better off gracing a plate. Some of the trophy stuff seems to have erotica natures, including from some breeders.
Yep, as John Mead has already said, those ones become a delicious meal, selective breeding in other words as the chance that their progeny will exhibit similar behaviors is high. Elk cows and Red deer hinds will also get on their hind legs and give you a thumping if they get a chance, those also are usually sent to the works, but wait there's more, red deer hinds will also bite and you don't usually want to be bitten again lol ... Elk cows will possibly bite as well but I've never been bitten by one, but as you have seen Elk are handled differently to Red deer, with the Red deer you are usually in the pen with them as opposed to using a crush.

I've read that New Zealand's elk are descendants of the extirpated Eastern elk that inhabited the deciduous forests of the Eastern United States.

Elk/Wapiti.
Wonderful there should be more of these farms ,like how you handle lower stress for the animals.!
Name of video elk&wapiti I mean elk and wapiti is same species, just names
Do you sell the piece that sheds off yearly the Pedicle ? If so could I get some purchase imfo please sir
Yep, the male elks are very dangerous.
After you harvest the velvet antler does the remaining pedicle fall off every year just like it was a shed?
Yes.
I didn't know that there were elk in New Zealand. Wapiti is a Native American name given to elk it means "white rump". Are these wild or farmed elk?
There is a wild herd in Fiordland, plus a few in other places hunters have illegally released. Even though the numbers of wild deer are surging due to the average hunters being unable to contribute to control.
They're antlers were trimmed off
What was the purpose of 4:40 just curious...,
It is a copper capsule to prevent copper deficiency which can cause growth deficiency and ill health in deer species and cattle.
Well done very professional and much better compared to Bucks in Barns on the ConQuest Scents channel

This was a good video. I wish we had more.
I am from Nepal sir I want buy som pear what is a prosser.Send me your whatsab numbar
Why do say elk and wapiti? Arn't they the same animal? So cool I wish I had an elk farm.
They actually are the same thing.
What are Whapity? First heard it in NZ 1978. Dear?
Wapiti are a type of deer - they're larger than the red deer and fallow deer and are the largest deer in NZ. It's a South American name.
They are the same as the animal that is named elk in North America, it originates from Shawnee, a Native American language, and is often used by none Americans/ Canadians because elk is instead used to refer to moose in Europe.
Elk = moose (US) Wapiti = elk (US)
More like: • Alces alces •• Elk (Europe) •• Moose (International) • Cervus canadensis •• Elk (North America) •• Wapiti (International)

Reindeer and Elk can’t be crossed?
U should give one elk a fruit every morning so he will follow u anyway
Don't want them too tame, their flip side is dangerous. Some want to kill you if not handled/culled prudently.
sir. i need price deltails sall babies at least 100 pic. and about deliery to pakistan.thanks
almost the same thing on a piggery and at the meat works
Great video. He knows his stuff.
In India vill be big problem if we r handle the deer but i love this to watch
Are they not the same? What's the difference between elk and wapiti?
They actually are the same thing, they are more often referred to as wapiti outside of the new world.
The name. Although moose are also called elk in some european areas.
Internationally, there is no such thing as an elk, since Cervus canadensis is internationally referred to as a wapiti while Alces alces is internationally referred to as a moose, though elk is used for Cervus canadensis only in North America while they use elk for Alces alces only in Europe.

come on down…us kiwi’s will show you a warm welcome…our hunting..trout fishing deep sea fishing are world class
Copper for what?
I wonder how much one of these animals cost.

Why have you cut down their antlers?
He didn't cut 'em down.They shed them and are regrown each year.
Yes he did cut them down for velvet sale they will regrow another smaller set
@@angeldedios7377 Sell velvet. And an antlered stag is so much more dangerous, they know what they can do with antlers and the receiving end is not to be desired.
@@johnmead8437 Hi,John!What do they use the velvet for?It must be quite dear .
What are these elk being kept for? Antlers or meat?
Both probably
Prolly their ivory too

C$
I love this
Love to watch like this

That was great to watch. Very informative video and you are really patient with the animals.
Nice to how calm he handle this deers.
rutger boeve elk
@@Snapchatch guess what an elk is, deer.
Elk
What did he give them?
A copper pill i believe
great work towards nature. .......thanks a lot. ...God help much......much. .....in your hard work. .....
Facinating. Seeing White Tail panic when cornered, and knowing what an elk can do, it is impressive seeing how relatively calm they were being moved.
