Solo backpack hunting Sambar

- To celebrate Anzac day I set off into the Victorian high country in search of adventure. Snakes, Steeps and Sambar were all part of a fantastic time and a great reminder of the freedoms we owe to those that gave so much.

Awesome! Enjoyed every second of it!
Sambar 9.3 cheers buddy. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Cracking vid mate!! Looking forward to your next one.
very nice mate. Good to see some solo work out there. Thanks for putting that together.
Cheers Jonathan
Epic adventure, awesome country out there. Thanks for sharing.
Coco Charlie matenga thanks for watching buddy 👍
A pretty gnarly area...good effort. Enjoyed that video 😊
Mark's Gone DEER Hunting cheers buddy
Great video mate!
LIQUID ANTLER cheers mate! 👍
I remember coming into your shop once. You were very helpful! Wondered why you looked familiar at the time and now the penny has just dropped! Haha 👍 thanks lad.
You certainly covered some ground mate and I am not surprised you went through some water but what a fantastic location to do it. Thanks for sharing.
Bolt-Action Productions cheers buddy. Backing it up straight from fiordland wasn't easy on the legs. Certainly a harder game once that temperature goes above 18 hey. 👍
You did extremely well mate. It's marvellous how much we look forward to the colder weather when climbing said hills.......
Nice.. can’t wait to get out amongst it..
Did a bit of stalking at Easter loved every minute of it..
Great vid but 👍🏻
Karl Tirkkonen good work mate. Always thinking of the next trip too buddy. Good luck out there 👍
Good to see the legs still work after NZ Daz.
Nice video mate. Subbed your best channel. I'm sponging every bit of info atm. Planning towards a backpacking trip in May 19.
NJMS EDC good stuff buddy, we are planning now too. March to May is now locked in. Just need the snow to come in at the right time this year coming! Happy to help where I can mate, we will back in there a heap through May so might catch you in the mountains 👍
@@IntotheMountains awesome. I'm a Hunter Valley NSW guy so March/April and Fallow/Red's for us. Then I'm keen for a crack at one of these elusive Sambar. Have got a few great trophies locally and in QLD with RIDGE so southbound it is next. Possibly looking between Dartmouth Dam and Kosci. Unsure yet. Looks like good country and I'm pretty fit to wander in. Seems a good option as we can drive in there pretty simply to high National Park.
Great vid enjoyed this one, steep back in there did the dogs come back the second night.
hank braff thanks Hank! Yes mate they were much bolder the second night, came into my camp and carried on, my rifle under pack outside I shouted at them and shon my light and they took off

Thats living! great stuff Mark, sounds like you've had a few great adventures out there. Its a great place we live in. Daz
Great video daz, heading to lake eildon in june, first time sambar hunt, 10 days on house boat then hunt the hills, keep up good work
Mick Flynn thanks Micko! Good Luck at the lake, you'll have a ball there. Hunting up from the water is one of my favorite ways to get about. Don't forget the rod👍
Thanks bud, got my Moroka 30 75 litre back pack, super happy with it, hoping to shoot some video myself, be happy just to see some sambar
Well, your in the right place to see them at eildon. Good population there. I did a little video a while back at eildon. its the one with the little rubber duck where my buddy Azz shot his first stag. Have fun out there, wear blaze too.
Thanks bud saw that video was great, hopefully the snakes are quite, hopefully sorted with Moroka 30 gear and warm clothes, will post some video and pics on my u tube which im just setting up
Hey Daz love watching your videos mate, quick question I see you use hiking poles do they make much of a difference?
Thx for the great vid. Can I ask what make/model smart watch you wore on this hunt?
Kingsley David hey mate, this is the garmin epix, I believe it’s discontinued now. Great little watch all the same 👍
Thanks for sharing, watched all of your clips, been informative, what time of year and approximately how long are the stags in velvet?
Hey mate, in this area the stage are typically in velvet from January through April. That said with such herd diversity and Sambar covering all parts of the state in different temperates with different food sources it is not uncommon to find deer at any part of their antler growth cycle year round. For the most part to increase your chances of finding an animal in hard antler the best time to hunt this area is mid may to august. 👍🏾
Hey, well I am brand new to hunting and I have a few questions, how do you know where the set for camp before heading out? Also if you’re in a more flat terrain do you just head anywhere as long as the wind is in your face, also how can you tell if a deer is safe to eat?
Garry Johnson hey buddy all great questions. I use topo maps to plan my route and that gives me a good idea of the land ahead. Generally with a hammock if you have trees you'll have a spot to camp anywhere. Flat terrain is pretty rare out where I go but if I do find some the tent can be used. Our deer species rarely carry diseases and the best way to learn is join your local ADA branch and get involved there. Happy hunting
nice work Daz; if you don't mind me asking.- what elevation were most of the deer. and did you notice a general difference in elevation between hinds and stags. thanks mate keep up great work. jamie
MountainMan HuntingFilms hey buddy. They were pretty spread out. I observed them from 300m to 1100m. But yes the stags were all higher than hinds by at least 150m
Into the Mountains cheers mate. and in terms of food / green pick did you find there was better feed up high? all good intel for my next backpack trip in late May
MountainMan HuntingFilms the green pick was just poking through around 700m. I was surprised how high it already was considering not much rain. I think by the time you go in the tops will be going off. I'd aim high for sure.
Into the Mountains cheers brother thats the plan. cheers for making and sharing your hunt- gets me all fired up!!!
Great video man. Just curious as to what rifle sling you were rocking in the video? Cheers
Anton Hatcher hey buddy, this one is called a safari sling, you can get them at gunco superstore 👍
Into the Mountains awesome man I’ll check it out. Going to eildon in August be my first time up there (from south Aus) so try and get one before heading over. They look like a good carry. Cheers
Are those the 10*42 slc or EL's that you were using? would you say the 10*42's are suitable for hunting dense areas ?
Hi George, i'm using the SLC 15x56 in that country in place of a spotting scope. They are great over long distance and low light. Yes the 10's are fantastic in dense areas.
Hi Daz, my bro and I are planning a hunt in high country in a month or so we both have new Warbonnet ridge runner hammocks with superfly tarp. Do you use a under quilt with your hammock or can you get away with using a sleeping pad as insulation that time of year? Any tips would be appreciated Daz with staying warm for first time hammockers.
Cheers
Great trip planned boys! Mate definitely, 100% use an under quilt. I can’t stress enough how much it will suck if you try anything else up high at this tome of year. Like many before you, I’ve seen everything imaginable to save a few buck in insulation but the outcome is always the same. Some frozen testicles! ⛄️ another tip, be very particular to the tree conditions and what above you before tying off. ESP if it’s a fire damaged area 👍🏾
Into the Mountains cheers Daz that’s a massive heads up coming from you. We really appreciate your feedback and we will get onto purchasing the UQ’s, we are pretty pumped to be able to stay out where we end up each day and keep moving forward exploring new ground instead of backtracking to camp. As always you are the go to for info thanks again will let you know how we go we are coming over from Adelaide. Cheers again
Matthew Ford awesome stuff guys. Looking forward to hearing about the adventure. Let us know how you get on. Shoot straight boys!!
What was the Joe Blake you came across? Was bitten by a copperhead, and had close shaves with tigers, blacks we kicked out of the way! This one was different! Brown?
Hey mate, what hammock you using?
Hey Jason, this one is a Hennessy Hammock, model is hyper light
Awesome mate... What time of year?
Jarrod Morgan this would have been around Anzac Day buddy
Into the Mountains oh thanks mate you did say that in the vid. 🤦🏻♂️cheers for all the sweet footage 🤙🏻
