Good to watch this one again and see the spots I'd been. Must add it to the ballot application again! Not a lot of animals in there but a good proportion of the stags with good heads.
Hi Nik. Awesome video Mate. Really nice country. Heading there in March. Would you able to help with some info? Like camping spots and other? We are going for open hunting area. First time.
Southern Alps Hunter Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Yeh really cool to see three different species in the one area, especially in such great terrain!
Great trip and thanks for for sharing a ripper video. Well done on not trying to shoot that stag from long range . Two many animals wounded and lost by guys out shooting their calibre or their talent. Your Stag will have hopefully made it through the roar and breed with lots of good hinds. He will be real nice next roar.
Thanks mate! Yeh, even if I had found that shooting position on the first night, the reality is I most likely would not have had been able to retrieve him that night. Happy to think that I might somehow get another chance at him, unlikely, but you never know!
Chris Humphreys Thanks mate! Yeh it's one of the original Huntech Silent Stalker jackets, one of the best garments I've ever used, still going hard 25+ years later.
sandcontour Thanks mate! Hubba NX, very little good tent, fairly waterproof provided you pick a well draining peice of ground. Handled it well enough but it wasn't the worst weather!

Thanks mate! Amazing country for sure. I haven't been South for some time, looking at a hunt in the Caples at some point.
Epic
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed the video! You are heading into that particular block? I can help with info on that area if so.
Just wandering if u noticed the other hind sitting in front of the hind in the sun light👍👍
Sorry I missed your reply. I didn't notice the other hind until seeing the footage at home!
Great trip Nic, looks like a mint spot, not often you get to see stags, tahr and cham from the same spot. Keep an coming mate.

Loved and subbed mate, great video, and great looking stag, goodluck chasing him if you go back next roar!
Thanks very much, appreciate that! Unlikely to ever see him again, but was awesome just to see an animal like that.
Was that a ballot block mate? Did you ever get back to look for that stag?
Yeh bro, ballot block. Nah man, hopefully some other buggar caught up with him!
I enjoyed that Nick. A great movie.
Scott Giltrap - Backblocks Hunting Thanks Scott, glad you liked it mate!

Nice vid! Btw, what brand is your fleece jacket? It looks like a Huntech?
Chris Humphreys Thanks mate! Yeh it's one of the original Huntech Silent Stalker jackets, one of the best garments I've ever used, still going hard 25+ years later.
I always wanted one of those! Can you still buy them?
Chris Humphreys I don't think you can them any more unfortunately mate, although, I haven't looked to replace it as yet!
