Hi, I came across this video by accident, watched it and enjoyed the content and subscribed. I have fished most of New Zealand’s South Island and most of the Taupo and Rotorua lakes and rivers. Although I have flown and driven over the areas you must be hunting in I have wondered about the possibilities of fishing the rivers I drove across but never gave a thought about hunting in the bush for deer or pigs. I grew up hunting on the great plains of The Rift Valley and the only time I spent hunting in the bush was as a soldier and have had no interest in going back to my days of nightmares! I watched your aerial shots with great interest, often stopping to enlarge the shot for detail. I opened up the DOC map to understand better the terrain that you were working in. Really enjoyed your video and commentary as at the age of 85, the days of taking on that type of trekking to get to a good fishing spot are over for me, but its good to see you taking on those steep hills! I subscribe to Rogee as his long distance shot hunting is a bit like our sniper techniques of the past. I look forward to more of your hunting videos or fishing ones. Cheers mate. Harera
nice vid mate, thanks for sharing your stories with us. just stumbling on your channel and peaking interest in outdoors after years in the city. subscribed.
Thanks for the donation mate, fricken awsome, yes unfortunately we are all going there, Trying to create some memories here on youtube for when its my time to leave.
Found your videos about year ago. When I haven't got my hunting fix in a while, I jump on TH-cam to see if you have uploaded any new videos haha. Cheers, mate. Hunt the same areas as you might bump into you one day.
@nzmeateater Cheers mate keep them coming. Whakatane, but do most of my hunting around Waioeka, will have to give that hut a try when it warms up a bit looks like a good spring spot.
Thanks , looking for shape, color n movement mainly, harder to see through the camera than in real life., There would have been more over there, but just not visible
dont want to seem like telling my grandmother how to suck eggs here but shouldnt you have used a rest when you took a shot at that deer across the river
I am sorry about your fiends, i was on the rum yesterday found your vid and just reacted to it. Why do I ask. 40 years ago i went 4 a walk with some friends to have a picnic at a waterfall but there was a deer standing on the track. We could not get cloes to the deer, and we had made our sandwiches an cut them in half we did not even have a butterknife. That was b4 cellphpnes so we just had to go out to the Vet and tell them ther was a wounded deer. I am sure that you are an excellent marksman. But are you even a deer stalkers bum hole? When I walk into the bush with my rifle and I see people and they look at me I can tell by the look in there eyes that they think I am just same as you. @@nzmeateater
This is cool Fred thanks for making this. 🥰 so nice to remember Dad in this way. Wish he stuck to it ❤
Thanks Kayla, yea its a shame, was just going to catch up with him too,,,, to see if he wanted to go for a hunt somewhere down there .
What a nice gesture that was to your mates. It was obvious from it that they mattered to you.
Thanks, 👍
