Overseas travellers often think that Australia has only beaches and deserts . They need to watch your amazing videos like this one . The Blue Mountains is amazing ! Thank you so much !
Another great vid Scotty, glad you’re enjoying your hunting mate …. your approach and explanation to why we all do it is spot on. Keep up the great work and all the best mate.
14:01 - The plaque extract is from this longer, and pretty special poem by Robert Louis Stevenson: Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill. Great vid Scotty, hope you're well.
When you start to hear them, I knew it was a fox. I hear them a lot when camping here in the UK and the do more of a scream than a bark and sounds very weird the first time round. Now, I'm always quite happy to hear them, knowing that the place I wild camp, they have a safer haven to be in that is protected from fox hunts. Loving this content fella. Please keep it coming as I'm sure I'm not the only one who greatly appreciates the efforts you make and the beauty of your glorious homeland.
Fox hunting is banned in the UK (with pest control exceptions) and has been since 2004 and is pretty isolated these days, just a few dwindling toff groups that are soon to die anyway. Completely agree though, I've gone from "what in the world is being murdered" to "yay foxes I hope I see one" haha.
Bro this year august 24 I was camping with 2 of my friends and I saw something look like a burning mountain or giant holding a fire on stick but every 10mins it's get closer and close more like coming towards us so me and my friends leave the place at 2am , I don't know what it was I'm asking what that's things #sorry bad English hope U understand
It was the other way for me. A lifetime of hunting attracted me to flyfishing. Especially sight fishing where similar stalking skills are needed. Puzzles me that some folks are cool with fish hunting but not mammal hunting?? Your love of the bush and appreciation of culinary pursuits by harvesting wild free range meat and fish will carry you well to old age - just like Ted and William! Love your productions Scotty, keep em coming! PS. Those pups are foxes.
The Ausie bush just keeps on giving … another great video Scotty . Some other quite unsettling calls in the bush after sundown - the Masked owl , the Eastern Barn owl , the Channel bill cuckoo and the Budh stone-curlew can make the hairs on the back of your neck become very ridged … Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
@@Nath-sn1mv they sound different in Eastern Australia than Western Australia. Feel free to google it and find out, or just keep trolling. Your choice. 😂
I love this river, I remember your last adventure there. I was a keen hunter for more than 50 years. I relate to your feelings, and I also relate to the conservation aspect, that goes along with hunting. I am extremely proud of my conservation hunting, foxes, rabbits, feral goats, pigs, dogs, cats, deer and some larger feral species in arid areas of Australia that I won't mention here. Bow fishing carp is great fun, if you have the fishing attachments for your bow. When it comes to fishing, there are so many variables, season, temperature, water temperature, moon phase, barometric pressure, bait, time of day. All need to be considered and accounted for. That kid was the perfect size for eating, nothing taste better than a leg of roasted young goat. Definitely fox pups, with the big ears and white tip tails. The barking was definitely a fox. Thanks for sharing, Scotty.
It looked like he parked on a public road... Mind sharing what river it is? The few times I've driven west to try explore a river I always seem to get 'private property' gates which is frustrating after driving for 2+ hours.
I never realized how beautiful Australia's natural spots were. Really Incredible. Nice to know there is someone who appreciates it. Thanks for sharing.
Love to hear you have come around to the very immerse world of hunting mate! As a fellow hunter, thanks for being open and honest about your journey. A greater understanding of the bush and respect for wildlife comes in all forms 💪
Agree but sometimes they can sound a bit different. Few days ago in suburbia I heard one during the night and it was going “ yap yap” at intervals. Not like a dog that would persist with its barking. I’ve seen one in my street too.
A appreciate that you don't advertise specific spots where you stay. Too many 'influencers' do these days and a lot of those places are just rubbish tips now. Keep up the good work.
Yes! It drives me mad how many people go to visit a place because of how amazing it looks.. only to dump their rubbish and cigarette butts there!! Why😢
lol. I managed a farm in Loudon County, Virginia, USA. My first night I arrived after dark and was moving stuff into the house. There was a fox in the yard, pretty close making a similar noise. Scared the hell out of me! Great video, I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for another awesome trip Scotty. Great to see how your fly fishing has improved from that first cast in a video way back. I`m also super excited to hear that you have discovered ethical hunting for the pot. As an expat South African I did a lot of hunting before I came here. So happy you are enjoying it. As a last cast, I was shocked and dismayed to see the number of carp in that river. That`s probably the reason why there were no trout. Thanks again for a great video adventure.
It's definitely a fox call. Plus, those fox kits are absolutely gorgeous. You can tell by the tails and ears that it's a fox kit. Dingoes are completely different. I grew up in the bush in NSW and raised a few foxes and dingoes to adulthood. Both equally amazing animals. Absolute gorgeous spot, mate.
Love your honest style of presentation man, and well done for explaining about your veggie past and learning a better way to live. Keep them coming Scotty!
Great video Scotty, beautiful spot. I walk to work here on the Northern Beaches at about 3am. Right next to Warringah Mall on a road I saw what I thought was a dog crouched down and I thought it was hurt, as I got closer it stood up and it was obviously a fox but it was tall and not red/orange but a dirty grey and looked for all the world like the kit in your video, It took off into a garden, I've seen small foxes running across the road in the same area back onto the golf course there, usually with magpies hounding them but this thing was heaps bigger.
Nice one Scotty! This season is definitely tougher trout fishing, a combination of low water at the end of last season and over winter, and also a cormorant plague that has affected the trout fishing everywhere from Tassie up to NSW. I can imagine that particular river would've been hit fairly hard as it tends to have fairly slow flows at the best of times. I'm sure I've suggested it before, but consider joining the Sydney Flyrodders Club, you will definitely get access to a lot of up to date information about how particular regions and rivers are fishing. And also plenty of other great info and learning opportunities, including on how to target carp.... ;) Thanks for the video, great as always!
Thanks for this info mate, makes sense. I've been struggling to find trout down here in Vic. I was on what should of been a very remote unfished part of a river a few weeks back and I didn't even see trout breaking the surface .... plenty of carp though.
I love the fact you rep aussie products - looking at buying my own whippa backpack.. also great video again scotty. I clear my schedule to watch your videos. best thing ive ever watched
Congratulations on your first Fallow deer Scotty. Pure protein, my family eats about 80% venison during the year. Antibiotic, hormone free, nothing healthier. Great looking fox kits. That call was the Jara Jara bird, has been known to take small children, lol. That was the fox mom or dad calling. Have heard lots of them in my years. Congrats on your new sponsor, and continued success to you and your family. Fantastic video.
Great video Scotty! Congrats on the backpack looking forward to seeing what it looks like 😀 I've heard that noise over here camping before and pretty sure it's a fox. Seeing those cubs was pretty awesome too 👌🏻 cheers mate, Matt 👍🏻
Great video, as always. Always looks forward to seeing you out and about on adventures! With the fly fishing, might be time to try a dry dropper rig. Consensus view is that trout only feed on the surface around 5% of the time. Nymphing is a super productive method of getting down to where the trout are holding. Dry dropper gives you the best of both worlds, well almost. Learning how to get a good drift becomes the challenge. But you'll get a lot more fish, guaranteed. Thanks for sharing your content. Love it!
I’m used to the foxes screaming at night where I live, but it’s pretty unnerving if you don’t know what it is. Possums & koalas can make some weird noises too… all part of living in the bush. Love your videos, I enjoy watching your adventures.
Hi Scotty, as you said they are fox pups. Yes, that is a fox calling I have heard this call many times while out bush. You hear them a lot during mating season.
Hi Scotty. I've enjoyed yet another good one from you. Thank you. That sound was creepy but certainly from some wild critters. Experienced it before at a place you wouldn't think of for something like that - Hong Kong. Like you, heard it when I was all alone and in the dark at some wild spot (yes, in an urban jungle like Hong Kong). Yes, my hair seemed to stand on end at the back. Later on i learned that it was the sound of a barking deer. Yeah sounds of nature could sometimes be intimidating.😁😁
Fox call! Been a hunter nearly all my life. I recently took up Bow hunting, took to it like a duck to water! I have to say it just resonated with me as hunting in its purist form. Great video Scotty as usual.
Gday Scotty, brilliant vlog mate, this one just came together really well with the memorial plagues and numnerous animals you came across, when u saw those fox cubs I think mamma fox was out hunting for food leaving the kids at home. cheers and beers
Always love a scottysgonecatwalking vid. That was definitely a fox. Unfortunately, due to a bad run of luck, i just spent 6 weeks homeless. Thankfully, I'm a hiker, so it was actually fun. But the park i was stealthing in, around strathfield, had a fox family. Scared the funk out of me the first time one walked past me. Not what you expect in inner Sydney. But that sound became white noise for me around 2am.
Hey, I hope you’re all good.. if you need a hand with anything lmk… I’m not well off either but I’m happy to help as much as I can, even just a few bucks for food or whatever.. nobody should have to rough it like that, and I wish our government wasn’t wasting money on useless things and actually caring for its people
@VRCommy Thanks mate, great to know there's still great people out there. I'm fine, I work and have money, I just went through a divorce, and then the place I moved into had a fire, so it became unliveable, had no access so I couldn't collect anything, and I'm not one to ask for help so took it on the chin. I just had to rough it to save up again for another bond and months rent. With real estate prices, it took a while. Lucky as I said, I'm a hiker with full loadout, so it wasn't bad. There are definitely those out there struggling. There's a lot of mental health, neglect, and misunderstanding and under resources for that area. Shout out to the exodus foundation in my area, actually making a difference.
Always love the content, and LOVE the addition of the hunting! Exciting and fulfilling times ahead for ya Scotty 🤙💪 and for us as viewers too, it’s happy days! 🤙
Another great vid. Congrats on spotting 4 of Australia's seven worst varmints (carp, fox, goat, rabbit). Pig, cane toad, plus cat, and you will complete the set. If you head north you can probably bag the rest on one trip. Your reasons for hunting a pretty similar to the thoughts that led me to hunting in my early 20s. I went through a zealot phase of saying you shouldn't eat meat unless you were prepared to kill and prep it yourself. Well done getting your ticket.
Great trip Scotty, beautiful spot as the plaques on the rocks from previous visitors testify. I live in the countryside in northern France and that demonic screach from the fox is something i've become accustomed to. Keep up the good the good work.
Awesome video mate, great news on the backpack 👌 in the Riverina I'm having lots of luck on corn kernels,2 good size carp & one cod the other day 👌 and I barely catch fish lol 👍
Great trip....love your work!! Trout are great forecasters of weather trends...currently, they are all holed up in deeper water further downstream and when the weather starts getting more rain they spread out through the river again. G & T's....what a way to go!!!
I can impersonate that possum grunt/gargle noise. Do it to a possum and they get a bit confused and they lookout you thinking "do I leave you alone, or do I run up you and rip your face off? Shut up buddy!"
Another great vid Scotty, was definitely a Fox pup mate. white tip on tale and those high pointy ears. and sound was mum warning the pups probably of you and your fire. congrats on the whippa sponsor mate look forward to seeing the custom Scotty back pack.
Great to hear about your positive introduction to hunting. If you ever want to get out for a hunt let me know. I'm sure we could figure something out. Keep up the positivity and great work - Chris Waters
Similar issue down in Vic with some usually productive trout regions a little bare. I'm only new to fly fishing but been told cormorants moving to the coast have decimated the numbers. Up marysville way definitely had more luck in covered areas where the cormorants couldn't access the water. Great video! Thanks.
Living in the countryside in the U.K. Scotty the sound you hear is the sound of a deer barking. Over here people think it’s fox but they are wrong it’s usually a roe deer calling a mate, you hear them all year round and mainly in the night being as they are quite a shy animal. Another great vid mate I love seeing the outback, it looks like where I am except hillier.👍
Hi Scotty. Amazing video. One request, if I may. Most of us don’t get to ever witness these exotic animals that you briefly show on camera (11:52 for example). Although they’re mostly ‘common’ in your opinion where you explore, they are very new and intriguing for us. Would you name a few in the future? Thanks as ever. Richard.
Definitely momma fox 👍. Here in the UK we also have muntjac deer which make a similar scream. You can’t sleep in a woodland here without hearing it at least a few times a night😅. Really exciting news about the pack develop. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like 👍. Great video as always!
I'm by no means an expert, but had an encounter years back that leads me to believe you're right in the subtitles, that scream was a fox. Was woken up at about 1am with the sound of what I thought was a woman screaming in the street. I hopped outside to look, and my neighbor did too! After riding our bikes around, looking and finding nothing, we looked up animal screams and probably came to the same results that you did researching lol. Had no idea foxes could scream like that until then.
8 years ago I heard the most Craziest sound at night while around a camp fire in Coolah tops it was so loud sounded like it could have been a giant dinosaur yet was moving through the bush as fast as car. Girl freind was freaking out I said yep that’s just a possum.
It's crazy how Scotty is meant to be an outdoorsman and is scared by a harmless fox, and doesn't even know what kind of wild animals surround him. 😂 I'd have definitely caught some of those carp & trout if I was fishing the stream. Stealth and the right technique is key 🗝️ to success. 😉
I am proud you are not afraid to express your personal thoughts on your hunting and not be afraid of any blowback from veiwers. The area you go to is very beautiful, is it still the blue mountains? Exact location is not nesseccary
How's the Troopy going Scott , we got our new Troopy in June and love it , we managed to get the V8 and can't wait to head into the mountains and do some fly-fishing. Keep up the great work. 👍
Yeah Scotty, they are young foxes and that's the noise they make. I put a cake out for the foxes one night and they had a big fight over it and made the most terrible commotion.
Being able to get that close was quite incredible Scotty. Most animals bolt as soon as you get near to them. Cute little foxes a good area for hunting it seems. Wonderful spot and cudis fir recognizing those two plaques great minds think alike you and them. Bushyboy Oz.
Hi Scotty, I know you weren't wanting to target the mud marlin but they love bright coloured flies. I found the sunset fly which has flashes of orange to be really good. They also go for a green nymph. The main thing is you want your fly to sink slowly so they have plenty of time to come over and have a look. They tend to be shy of twitches. BTW congratulations on the partnership with the Katoomba backpack people. How awesome Ian
Great video Scotty, scenery magical and wildlife abounds there. Would love to visit that place. Scotty I come from a family of hunters/ farmers and as kid I didn’t like eating meat, but was forced to eat it. I did do a little rabbiting with Dad as a kid, using steel traps, I wasn’t impressed. For a while I decided to be a vegetarian in my late 20’s. Then continued until I got bowel cancer. I was medically advised to eat meat due to anaemia. I was years ago opposed to hunting, now I believe at age 68, hunting done in an ethical way is fine. Thank you for the video.
What's up with the trout this season. Looks like Mattsy was struggling down in tas, I haven't been able to find any this spring in Vicco, and nothing up your way 😆 Also congrats on the partnership with Whippa, I think it's a great fit for ya and I could imagine how helpful that will be for making more vids.
I’ve encountered sounds very similar to that in British woodland. Im pretty sure like others say it’s a fox. In October here, the deer in full rut make some terrible demonic sounds. Definitely not big foot 🤣. Great video thanks mate.
I’m watching you from Colorado, US. First off, our trout don’t swim anywhere near carp. Second, we have foxes that make a night noise that sounds like a woman screaming. Third, I have a blue heeler, a descendant of a dingo mix. Your dingo pup is similar in looks. Love your videos!
Quite surprised that you haven’t heard a fox bark or seen fox cubs, spring is when the cubs come out. Since we live reasonably close to that spot, we often go for camp upper there 😉
That sound was definitely a fox . Where are you ? That’s a beautiful spot. Trout are cold water temperature sensitive.Nothing wrong with hunting to get meat for the table.Enjoying your vids. My first dog I ever had when I was a young bloke was a kelpie cross dingo .Beautiful dog .My father was given the pup from a local farm.Had him for 14 years .,For some reason he would chase cars and eventually he got too slow to get out of the way.Just thought I’d add that little story to your dingo experience.
I have been following you for a while now and I really love your videos. I am also out in nature a lot, in the Swedish forests. And I'm thinking of starting to film my adventures too. Not to post them on TH-cam perhaps, but more to have something to look back on when you get older. So I'm wondering what kind of camera you use? Hope you and your family are doing well. thanks in advance, best regards.
All bets on a fox call. Plus the pups were definitely foxes. On pack production in Australia.... has the One Planet factory in Melbourne closed? They made some outstanding packs, but made tough but not that light.
Overseas travellers often think that Australia has only beaches and deserts . They need to watch your amazing videos like this one . The Blue Mountains is amazing ! Thank you so much !

Not to mention brush tail possums. They are terrifying
The sound of the carrawong always makes me homesick.....
Great vid Scotty! Good luck with the backpack project!
Wow that's interesting, I have the same thing with currawongs.
Carrawongs are everywhere bro
@ ...and they all sound different bro.
@@ktswandering what do you mean by that?
@@Nath-sn1mv they sound different in Eastern Australia than Western Australia. Feel free to google it and find out, or just keep trolling. Your choice. 😂

100% fox, grew up on a farm hearing those demonic screams at night
agreed
Yep had the same late one night. Got the spotty out and yep it was a fox.
Agree but sometimes they can sound a bit different. Few days ago in suburbia I heard one during the night and it was going “ yap yap” at intervals. Not like a dog that would persist with its barking. I’ve seen one in my street too.
Yep fox .
I agree. I thought fox as soon as I heard it
A appreciate that you don't advertise specific spots where you stay. Too many 'influencers' do these days and a lot of those places are just rubbish tips now. Keep up the good work.
Yes!
It drives me mad how many people go to visit a place because of how amazing it looks.. only to dump their rubbish and cigarette butts there!!

Great video Scotty, beautiful spot.
I walk to work here on the Northern Beaches at about 3am. Right next to Warringah Mall on a road I saw what I thought was a dog crouched down and I thought it was hurt, as I got closer it stood up and it was obviously a fox but it was tall and not red/orange but a dirty grey and looked for all the world like the kit in your video, It took off into a garden, I've seen small foxes running across the road in the same area back onto the golf course there, usually with magpies hounding them but this thing was heaps bigger.

Comment below was
Correct. That noise is a vixen Fox calling her cubs. Great video!
Awesome video! Those were defs baby foxes and that sounded like mum screaming at them 🤣
We have some of the most beautiful landscapes ❤
Found your channel my friend. Great video, thanks for taking me along. Watching from Halifax, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
I love the fact you rep aussie products - looking at buying my own whippa backpack.. also great video again scotty. I clear my schedule to watch your videos. best thing ive ever watched
Your fly fishing has improved
It is addictive
It’s like hunting
Keep up the good work work
Congratulations on achieving your goals

My favorite you have every done and I have watched for years its just so honest.

Hi Scotty, as you said they are fox pups. Yes, that is a fox calling I have heard this call many times while out bush. You hear them a lot during mating season.
That was momma fox calling for the kids!😀great work Scott👌👍
I hunt for meat, it's great sport.
It was like an Australian Blair Witch :)) gorgeous videos. I love how much you respect nature and make camping about the simple experiences.
Hi Scotty. I've enjoyed yet another good one from you. Thank you. That sound was creepy but certainly from some wild critters.

There are definitely those out there struggling. There's a lot of mental health, neglect, and misunderstanding and under resources for that area.
Shout out to the exodus foundation in my area, actually making a difference.
@@needtokeepwalkingbest of luck in finding a new place . God bless you 🙏😇
Always love the content, and LOVE the addition of the hunting! Exciting and fulfilling times ahead for ya Scotty 🤙💪 and for us as viewers too, it’s happy days! 🤙
Another great vid.
Congrats on spotting 4 of Australia's seven worst varmints (carp, fox, goat, rabbit). Pig, cane toad, plus cat, and you will complete the set.
If you head north you can probably bag the rest on one trip.
Your reasons for hunting a pretty similar to the thoughts that led me to hunting in my early 20s. I went through a zealot phase of saying you shouldn't eat meat unless you were prepared to kill and prep it yourself. Well done getting your ticket.
Great trip Scotty, beautiful spot as the plaques on the rocks from previous visitors testify. I live in the countryside in northern France and that demonic screach from the fox is something i've become accustomed to. Keep up the good the good work.
Awesome video mate, great news on the backpack 👌 in the Riverina I'm having lots of luck on corn kernels,2 good size carp & one cod the other day 👌 and I barely catch fish lol 👍
Great trip....love your work!! Trout are great forecasters of weather trends...currently, they are all holed up in deeper water further downstream and when the weather starts getting more rain they spread out through the river again. G & T's....what a way to go!!!
Thanks Scotty for another adventure!
Another great inspiring video buddy ❤ hope the family is good, congrats on the sponsor
That’s a fox call for sure. My least favourite is the gargling noise possums make at night.. sounds like the Predator waking by camp!!!
My favourite possum noise is hearing the bastards fall off my steep A frame roof 😊
We have so many of those brushtails around us in Melbourne. Now that you mention it, they do sound like Predator.
I can impersonate that possum grunt/gargle noise. Do it to a possum and they get a bit confused and they lookout you thinking "do I leave you alone, or do I run up you and rip your face off? Shut up buddy!"

Another great vid Scotty, was definitely a Fox pup mate. white tip on tale and those high pointy ears. and sound was mum warning the pups probably of you and your fire. congrats on the whippa sponsor mate look forward to seeing the custom Scotty back pack.
So pleased to know you debarb. Excellent 👌
Great to hear about your positive introduction to hunting. If you ever want to get out for a hunt let me know. I'm sure we could figure something out. Keep up the positivity and great work - Chris Waters
Similar issue down in Vic with some usually productive trout regions a little bare. I'm only new to fly fishing but been told cormorants moving to the coast have decimated the numbers. Up marysville way definitely had more luck in covered areas where the cormorants couldn't access the water. Great video! Thanks.
Living in the countryside in the U.K. Scotty the sound you hear is the sound of a deer barking. Over here people think it’s fox but they are wrong it’s usually a roe deer calling a mate, you hear them all year round and mainly in the night being as they are quite a shy animal. Another great vid mate I love seeing the outback, it looks like where I am except hillier.👍
Hi Scotty. Amazing video. One request, if I may. Most of us don’t get to ever witness these exotic animals that you briefly show on camera (11:52 for example). Although they’re mostly ‘common’ in your opinion where you explore, they are very new and intriguing for us. Would you name a few in the future?
Thanks as ever. Richard.
Definitely momma fox 👍. Here in the UK we also have muntjac deer which make a similar scream. You can’t sleep in a woodland here without hearing it at least a few times a night😅. Really exciting news about the pack develop. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like 👍. Great video as always!
I'm by no means an expert, but had an encounter years back that leads me to believe you're right in the subtitles, that scream was a fox. Was woken up at about 1am with the sound of what I thought was a woman screaming in the street. I hopped outside to look, and my neighbor did too! After riding our bikes around, looking and finding nothing, we looked up animal screams and probably came to the same results that you did researching lol. Had no idea foxes could scream like that until then.
Yep fox
It's a fox. Wait until you hear a Buck Koala call in the middle of the night... now that's a sound that'll make you believe in the Yowie 🤣
8 years ago I heard the most
Craziest sound at night while around a camp fire in Coolah tops it was so loud sounded like it could have been a giant dinosaur yet was moving through the bush as fast as car. Girl freind was freaking out I said yep that’s just a possum.
It's crazy how Scotty is meant to be an outdoorsman and is scared by a harmless fox, and doesn't even know what kind of wild animals surround him. 😂
I'd have definitely caught some of those carp & trout if I was fishing the stream. Stealth and the right technique is key 🗝️ to success. 😉
Yup.
I am proud you are not afraid to express your personal thoughts on your hunting and not be afraid of any blowback from veiwers. The area you go to is very beautiful, is it still the blue mountains? Exact location is not nesseccary
So many ferals, goats foxes and carp. What a shame. Thanks for another great video mate
How's the Troopy going Scott , we got our new Troopy in June and love it , we managed to get the V8 and can't wait to head into the mountains and do some fly-fishing.
Keep up the great work. 👍
Nice one Scotty! Looking forward to your Whippa collab 💪🏼
Yeah Scotty, they are young foxes and that's the noise they make. I put a cake out for the foxes one night and they had a big fight over it and made the most terrible commotion.
Being able to get that close was quite incredible Scotty. Most animals bolt as soon as you get near to them. Cute little foxes a good area for hunting it seems. Wonderful spot and cudis fir recognizing those two plaques great minds think alike you and them. Bushyboy Oz.
Good on Whippa for supporting, great brand and local to me! go aussie made!
Congrats on the first deer mate!!! Such a broad range of feelings with it isn’t it!
Oh and they’re foxes for sure. That noise you heard is fox barking
Hi Scotty, I know you weren't wanting to target the mud marlin but they love bright coloured flies. I found the sunset fly which has flashes of orange to be really good. They also go for a green nymph. The main thing is you want your fly to sink slowly so they have plenty of time to come over and have a look. They tend to be shy of twitches. BTW congratulations on the partnership with the Katoomba backpack people. How awesome Ian
Great vid as always Scotty.
Gosh I miss the Blue Mountains (and fly fishing). Thanks Scott.
Lovely vid again Scotty but it is a shame to see so many feral animals in the bush these days. Thanks for sharing.
Animal sounded like the Great Eastern Drop Bear , lucky you got out alive 😂 .
Hey Scotty, Cormorants are cleaning up heaps of trout up in the Snowy Mountains so maybe up your way as well
Thanks for vid Scott, cheers mate
Great video Scotty, scenery magical and wildlife abounds there. Would love to visit that place. Scotty I come from a family of hunters/ farmers and as kid I didn’t like eating meat, but was forced to eat it. I did do a little rabbiting with Dad as a kid, using steel traps, I wasn’t impressed. For a while I decided to be a vegetarian in my late 20’s. Then continued until I got bowel cancer. I was medically advised to eat meat due to anaemia. I was years ago opposed to hunting, now I believe at age 68, hunting done in an ethical way is fine. Thank you for the video.
great stuff thanks, hope the family is doing well
That was very enjoyable Scotty, thank you. 😊
I love your videos, vibes and yarns 💙💚🤍
I have zero interest in fishing, I don’t like camping, but I watched your full video because your wonderful accent is like a lullaby❤
Great news Scotty looking forward to your backpack.
Iv watched you 4 years u have come along way with ya fishing thats for sure lol
What's up with the trout this season. Looks like Mattsy was struggling down in tas, I haven't been able to find any this spring in Vicco, and nothing up your way 😆
Also congrats on the partnership with Whippa, I think it's a great fit for ya and I could imagine how helpful that will be for making more vids.
Congrats on the hunting! Enjoy the learning process!
Definitely looked like little fox pups, must be burrowed nearby 🙌
definitely a fox call as well, have a family living out the back of my place, first time I heard it was spooky as hell! haha
Yup. Foxes.
That's a 100% fox screams brother. I live in nc and I hear it all the time. Great video.
CONGRATS on your first successful hunt !!!!!
I’ve encountered sounds very similar to that in British woodland. Im pretty sure like others say it’s a fox. In October here, the deer in full rut make some terrible demonic sounds. Definitely not big foot 🤣. Great video thanks mate.
Good luck 💪
Definitely fox pups and a fox barking. Wait until you hear Hares screaming at night when you're camping. That will freak you out.
aren't rabbit screams mistaken for human screams at night? I've never heard them in real life, but watched some vids that were crazy.
Yep. Up there with Koalas for freaky night time sounds.
I’m watching you from Colorado, US. First off, our trout don’t swim anywhere near carp. Second, we have foxes that make a night noise that sounds like a woman screaming. Third, I have a blue heeler, a descendant of a dingo mix. Your dingo pup is similar in looks. Love your videos!
Wait until you hear a Yowie. It's like a fox/lion/tiger through a stack of Marshall cabinets turned up to 11, louder than AC/DC.
sorry mate nothing louder than Acca Dacca 😃🤗
The late night squalling can be a Fox, or a Bobcat can make a sound that is like a screaming baby...sends chills down your spine.
Man I would absolutely love to see a hunting video from you, my family has been hunting for years and its a huge source of our food :)
Quite surprised that you haven’t heard a fox bark or seen fox cubs, spring is when the cubs come out.
Since we live reasonably close to that spot, we often go for camp upper there 😉
That sound was definitely a fox . Where are you ? That’s a beautiful spot. Trout are cold water temperature sensitive.Nothing wrong with hunting to get meat for the table.Enjoying your vids. My first dog I ever had when I was a young bloke was a kelpie cross dingo .Beautiful dog .My father was given the pup from a local farm.Had him for 14 years .,For some reason he would chase cars and eventually he got too slow to get out of the way.Just thought I’d add that little story to your dingo experience.
Your doing great with your casting. Nice
I have been following you for a while now and I really love your videos. I am also out in nature a lot, in the Swedish forests. And I'm thinking of starting to film my adventures too. Not to post them on TH-cam perhaps, but more to have something to look back on when you get older. So I'm wondering what kind of camera you use? Hope you and your family are doing well. thanks in advance, best regards.
How exciting that you are going to create your own backpac🙌🏻 congrats 🥳
All bets on a fox call. Plus the pups were definitely foxes. On pack production in Australia.... has the One Planet factory in Melbourne closed? They made some outstanding packs, but made tough but not that light.
Nice video once again mate
Subscribing was the best thing I done with this channel..... hope you reach 200K
