Hey man yeah so stoked to meet you guys! I was surprised when Brody said 'hey Joe' as I walked by him. That started a good conversation! So stoked to meet you guys. Keep in touch mate
Bahhhh Hahahahaha , those birds, "HeYYY he's , over here, he's got his rifle, HEYyyyy OHhHhhh, you blind?? Right here!!!! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Looks like this is the one or family at least? New Zealand’s alpine parrot, the kea, is well known for its comical and destructive antics, tearing wiper blades off cars and disembowelling backpacks.
Man, New Zealand's such a beautiful country. I'd love to visit one day, maybe stay with the family if possible. Still, it'd have to be a three or four week holiday to really do the country justice and make the journey over worth it.
the peapole who dislike is becuse he is doing something natural, hunting and killing. They dislike becuse he kill an animal and they are eating chiken all day and dont know where it is from.
@@jameskirmess8945 😂. Sorry i have no glue what you mean with "play tag in the woods" ( i'm german, and i have no idea how to translate "tag in the woods" ) but it sounds funny to me
"Tag" is a game children play where they chase each other in order to touch or "tag". Squirrels chase each other and make a lot of noise when they do, often to the detriment of a hunt.
No need to thank us for watching, thank you for bringing the second part to your amazing trip. Love your work not only Hunting but the Fishing as well.
Thank you so very much for sharing your adventure with us. That’s exactly the type of adventure I’d be into, if only I was about 20-30 years younger. I think I could still do it but it might be a bit arduous. Breathtaking country that you’re in. Stunning scenery, worth it just to get up there without the hunting. The hunt would be the ice cream on the dessert.
Thank you Art I am glad you enjoyed the video. It sure is beautiful country isnt it. I'm glad to take you on the adventure even if it is from the comfort of your home!
My god.... New Zealand is literally like a dream. I literally dream of going there. Going there for a hunt would be even better. Stunning footage. It's so beautiful. New Zealand is #1 on my bucket list.
We were there on holls a couple of years back. They're overrun with feral deer, and can't get enough people hunting them. They were giving game licenses free, at that time!
@@maximilianpierce5115 wow! Everything here (UK)will cost you, plus, you need a license for everything, including a permit for shooting vermin. Strangely, ( fishing wise) you're more likely to be done for no rod license than poaching!
Thanks for filming this journey of yours for us! The amount of work between filming all of this yourself and hiking around those mountains, including the pack out is intense. Congratulations brotha!
Absolutely awesome. Don't know if you remember me but I was in the helicopter that picked you up. Was an amazing experience to meet you. Love the vids always a good time watching them. 🤙
What did you think of that aggressive guy that was stamping and snorting, trying to find him? It looked like he couldn't see Joe at all but knew something was there from the bird freak-out and could most likely smell him too! I love watching his posts too! Joe is an intuitive camera man and makes the simplest, everyday crap look like something glorious and fun! I think my favorite part was the frontal shot at the very end, it looked awesome. Hope you guys have better luck on your next adventure, I'm in Kansas City and want so badly to come visit New Zealand, its unbelievably beautiful there, I know I'll instantly fall in love with the place!
@@jeffffro7674 It was quite a sight as I have not seen a chamios that looked as lost and confused as he was. The country that I went hunting in was absolutely awesome even though joe was a lot higher than I was so when he got snow I got a bit on rain. But the scenery was non the less spectacular. And also invested in a much better range finder than the one we took on the trip so hopefully we'll be a bit more successful next time. One day you'll make it to New Zealand and I'm sure you'll love it. And if you want to go for a hunt check out wildside hunting safaris. After covid dies down hopefully.
if u don't have the stomach to watch this video don't watch it why would u dislike it ? its a beautiful video of his nice journey that many of us won't be able to experience. so thanks for sharing it with us
This is awesome, this is the stuff I want to do with all my mates, this is what real living is, it’s beautiful, keep up the good work man, love these vids
Reading these comments I see there are a lot of couch warriors saying what this guy should and shouldn’t do. Mate love the video. I love the fact you talk through your videos. Makes it more interesting. I ignore the couch hunters munching on there corn chips telling you what you should do lol
How sweet is that. No one hunting in the south has the film and production quality that you have and certainly not the dedication to catch it all on camera for us. too good.
@@j.e.wilds-hunting ill check it out now, awesome to see someone basically living the dream👌 can't imagine the strength of the trout. Random question if you know, why doesn't anyone fish with it being a fly rod in New Zealand? Keep up the great work m8
Oh my God that was frickin hilarious!!!! Those Kea were totally ratting you out to anything in the area! Seemed like they were doing it on purpose too. The guy that came up to look for you was fearless, his little stomps had me in tears laughing!!! Did he ever see you? The look on his face made me think he couldn't pin down where you were but maybe he smelled you? You were right, the camo was so good he was stumped. Nice job! I think he was the same one toward the end that surprised you! Punk parrots were trying their best to screw things up! That was an impressive post my friend, so much unexpected stuff, at the same time lots of stuff went perfectly! The last camera shot at the very end was absolutely stunning, it looked like the snow was falling UP!!!! Nice grin on your face, beautiful scenery behind you, all of it was awesome! Well worth the wait for it! Your camera skills keep getting better and better, it's so much fun to watch!! Well done mate!!!
Getting my papers in Oz next month or two. Also, getting myself a Tikka T3 TAC A1. Going to be taking on the Aussie scrub to eradicate the deer numbers after the floods here on the mid north coast of NSW. Bring back to life my old bush and survival skills.
@@j.e.wilds-hunting it certainly is. As an Aussie I've been over 6 times for that reason. Hey if you don't mind me asking. Your gopro audio is excellent. What setup are you running. I need to get mine running a bit better and I've been looking at external mic options on my Hero 8 Black.
Hi Joe, recently discovered your channel, then got trapped into a highly enjoyable binge. I, and perhaps some of the other boys, would love to see an episode focusing on planning. Especially decision making and the technical challenges of solo wilderness hunting. How you might use online maps/satellite imagery, and why you might select/reject certain gear for an extended trip. I’m sure the trips are just a small part of the overall story... not to mention all that post production!
Hey Brent sounds good! The Hunting season is just come to an end for the Mountain hunts and I am kicking the new season off in March next year. I think that's a good idea, I've had a few requests on the planning and preparation side of the trips so maybe I can do a few episodes on that side of the hunt
Thank you for taking us along, and Congrats on an amazing animal👍 Love, and respect the high country. Similar to our reindeer hunts here in Norway 💪🤠🇳🇴
@@shuuuuushhshs2698 you have some right ideas, but I think you fail to see that your point number 2 related to trophy hunting would pretty much put this video in the wrong (which it absolutely is). The only reason I can think of that would allow some form of hunting is overpopulation, which might happen if we're as irresponsible to take away all natural predators, then the population of their preys will boom. We should also recognize that this is a patch to a problem that we ourselves have created by getting rid of the predators, and we should help repopulate and get out of the picture and let wildlife be. We definitely can enjoy doing 95% of what this dude does in his video, which is going in breathtaking places and getting so close to amazing wildlife, but absolutely there is no reason at all to randomly kill some of it just for pleasure. That is just despicable and a sign of immaturity. It's important to recognize that in this video he's killing a perfectly fine exemplar of young buck pretty much for his own entertainment and for youtube views.
@@j.e.wilds-hunting won't it be amazing if all the hunters gather in one such place and hunt one another? A better test of skill and courage as compared to killing a defenseless animal!
To those that dont hunt: An animals life is to be respected, true hunters are very solemn about the sacrifice of the animal but excited about the success and being able to provide food for their family. It is a very particular feeling, one you can only experience by being there. The biggest/most important thing I would say is that an animal that is harvested from nature has lived a full life as nature intended. It was free, it knew predators, bitterly cold days and the bounty of summer. Animals in their habitat always have an advantage.
What unreal scenery you get to hunt in! I have to visit NZ one day. It's amazing what you capture, I know how hard it is to hunt those kind of hills WITHOUT any heavy and awkward camera gear. Nice job
Such stunning landscapes! Great adventure! Mountain hunting, spearfishing and bowhunting are the most thrilling and exciting hunting game! Cheers from Italy!
The Kea ,(i think thats how u spell it) are awesome pain in the arse! Their the only parrot in the world that can survive at those altitude, they loved u joe! Great video
@@maaginen1007 oh a guy shooting an animal for fun and it is called nature? sounds pretty natural. if you’re not eating your hunt then it is a murder. that “population control” thing is a bullshit which these guys came up with for legitimate their crime. nature would balance itself, it doesn’t need mankind to help.
@@tomcromie6074 my intent is not preaching to people but my comment might make one more person to think about this, and my friend there is no harm in thinking!
Wow I'm so glad you popped up on my recommended. I instantly subscribed. The locations are insane! Are the mountains you're traversing really as steep as they look? You are living at the top of the world, my friend.
Nice little gaiter/boot hack. Another idea is to wax the laces as part of their maintenance. Provides less friction to chew through the laces and the laces repel water.
I don't hunt or go camping or even make it outside much. This vid came up and i watched it from beginning to end. Great presentation, awesome content and excellent photography and editing. Thank you for taking me on this adventure with you, as a new subscriber I look forward to many more. 🤙👍
Thanks Jo! Good to hear you enjoyed it. I am glad to see people like yourself enjoying the videos! Thanks for the support and I appreciate the comment!
Hunting isn't for everyone, but respect needs to go all the way around. If you choose not to eat meat I respect that, it is your choice and no one has the right to tell you what to do. The same goes for those that hunt or raise their own meat, being respectful of the animals life and being thankful that its sacrifice helps sustain your own life. An animals life is to be respected, true hunters are very solemn about the sacrifice of the animal but excited about the success and being able to provide food for their family. It is a very particular feeling, one you can only experience by being there. The biggest/most important thing I would say is that an animal that is harvested from nature has lived a full life as nature intended. It was free, it knew predators, bitterly cold days and the bounty of summer. Animals in their habitat always have an advantage.
Seeing these videos fills me with an emotion I can't describe, the closest would be extreme longing for something I've never experienced, like, fuck I'm jealous man, thx for the amazing vids man! Or should I say mate!
Absolutely insane mate 🤙🤙. I reckon makes even better footage that you didn't have time to get a nice shot of the buck made it more intense 👌. Awesome footage of the ol' mate buck too.
Love the video's mate! a tramping buddy of mine had a trick for stopping excess wear on your laces from the gaiter hook, a couple of layers of that electrical heat shrink over the laces about 20-30mm long between the eyes
Same thing happened to me yesterday, Went up a face after some reds that were no where to be seen. Sitting having lunch on a spur and a cham buck walks out 50 metres away. Nice vid mate
Recommended to me from an American Hunting buddy living and working in Taiwan. Watched through and wanted more when it was over, so obviously I subscribed. Love the videography and the comfort you have with your commentary in front of the camera - transparent that you love what you are doing. I'm a big Steve Rinella fan and I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy your channel as well. Thanks for taking us along.
what a wicked adventure mate, the quality of you videos are unbelievable and the landscape your hunting is awesome. keep it up mate your videos are very entertaining and you have inspired me to get out there and go hunting. where ever you went they must not have 1080 it!!
If the area has been regularly aerial poisoned since the 1990s, would that make the information that formed the basis of the poison criticism suspect? And consequently much of the other emotive "information" from the same sources relating to pest control criticism.
JE you are a idea’s man. Were the Kea warning all animals? Noisy shits aren’t they. Paradise ducks of the High Country. That gear you were wearing must be real good to keep you from freezing. A great trophy Chamois buck. Well done.
Yeah they are really curious birds and the animals around them do listen. Haha you just have to put up with them and work together. Yeah the gear is good gear it is from Stoney Creek
I was wondering what gear you were using as well. You're camo and pack. I'd love some information on them. Congratulations on an epic hunt, one for the ages. It's so beautiful there!
@@gamehunter07 thanks man the camo is Alpine Tuatara from Stoney Creek and it's also a Stoney Creek pack, the model is 60+10 Buller pack from Stoney Creek
Hey Joe your hunting and fishing videos are spectacular , I live in Ireland and to see the parts of New Zealand were you hunt and fish are breath taking ,I've only joined your channel and I'm completely hooked , keep up the savage content and stay safe ,Joe in Ireland 🇮🇪
Just a little note from New Zealand there are feral goats,pigs,Austrian chamois,Himalayan tahr and deer all over the place you can shoot as many as you want, those mountains are free to shoot in ,done it many times you can camp up there for weeks cheers
I just saw your channel and watched the recommended video. Very impressive camera shots and what a beautiful country! The cinematography was amazing, especially, considering you’re by yourself while your filming the hunt! To be able to film a lot, if not most of the action by yourself, is very impressive as you hike along the various cliffs and mountain ranges. What an absolute amazing buck you nailed. What a beautiful animal. You did a really nice job filming the hunt. Obviously, the shot happened too fast, it was impossible to film without another person! What caliber of rifle are you using? I obviously, saw the Zeiss Optics (scope) mounted on your rig! BTW: congratulations on your shot. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the comment, I am really glad you enjoyed the hard work gone it to creating these films. The rifle I'm using is a Tikka T3 7mm08, it's actually a friends rifle and it is a good one. The scope is really good also. Thanks for your support I am glad to have you on the team! Welcome my friend!
JE Wilds 🤙 I thought it was a Tikka T3,, but I wasn’t exactly sure on the Caliber. That’s why I asked. The Tikka 7mm cartridge, along with the Zeiss (Conquest) makes for a great hunting rifle. Please continue to makes these videos! Your content is absolutely awesome and addictive to watch! I really enjoy watching sporting, fishing & hunting videos, if they are shot and edited nicely, and when the scenery is stunning, it’s an added bonus. Your videos are spot on. Continued success and stay safe, especially when the weather starts getting bad! Take care and enjoy the adventure!!!
@@myinfinitestate1586 I'm glad you are finding some content your enjoying. I know TH-cam is filled with so many to choose from. I'm glad you have found my channel! Keep the comments coming mate, glad to read them
JE Wilds 🤙 Absolutely mate. Hopefully, in the future you can come to the States. If so, I can definitely have my buddy put us on some incredible moose or other big game animals. He guides in Alaska. There are several large game that he specifically guides for. The different big game species, depends upon where you obviously go. The Alaskan-Variety of moose are wicked huge. The bulls are 1,500-1,800 lbs. with an antler spread of 60-70 inches. The bulls are absolute behemoths. We can get tags for Moose, Dall Sheep, Bison, Caribou, Elk, Deer, and even Mountain Goat and Muskox. You would have to push farther North, but the hunting is absolutely incredible. If you ever plan of coming to the States, let me know if you would be interested? I’m definitely stoked to see your next video. Be safe and enjoy the hunt!
Just discovered this channel, probably because of bushcraft that im into. This is absolutely top quality and you need more subs man. One more just joined today and hope to be hunting around my parts soon, late bloomer but definitely a hobby im interested in!
Hey Joe it was awesome to meet you today at HF Napier my boy Brody was stoked, we love your content and cant wait for more

This is the dream. Glad this popped up in my recommends, another youtuber I can live through
Awesome as always mate, well done 👌 great footage and editing
Thanks Tony glad you enjoyed it bro
Absolutely loved this. A lot different than South African terrain. Beautiful photography mate
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it! Cheers for the comment
This would be sick to do get a group of friends and go out there for your whole summer break
Im game when you’re ready
Thats awesome, cool little animals
The Kea ,(i think thats how u spell it) are awesome pain in the arse! Their the only parrot in the world that can survive at those altitude, they loved u joe! Great video
They are really cool aye! I love those pesky little guys haha
IDK how this channel does have millions of subs. The amount of cinematography going into these shots is insane. Keep up the epic work
because he is killing innocent animals
@@TheEmolin its called nature there is no such thing as an innocent animal
@@maaginen1007 oh a guy shooting an animal for fun and it is called nature? sounds pretty natural. if you’re not eating your hunt then it is a murder. that “population control” thing is a bullshit which these guys came up with for legitimate their crime. nature would balance itself, it doesn’t need mankind to help.
@@TheEmolin So you come to a hunting video to preach to people through the comment section?
@@tomcromie6074 my intent is not preaching to people but my comment might make one more person to think about this, and my friend there is no harm in thinking!
I bet gen Z will cancel this guy
5:34 the bird just chilling there
Wow I'm so glad you popped up on my recommended. I instantly subscribed. The locations are insane! Are the mountains you're traversing really as steep as they look? You are living at the top of the world, my friend.
Just another slice of paradise in Aotearoa New Zealand. And it's the bottom of the world 🤣
Epic adventure and great viewing, thank you for posting it up for us to watch!
Thanks man glad to hear! Cheers Simon
Nice little gaiter/boot hack. Another idea is to wax the laces as part of their maintenance. Provides less friction to chew through the laces and the laces repel water.
Stunning 😍
Thank you!
You are hard as hell for this solo up the mountain!
Or just stupid 🤣🤣🤣
I don't hunt or go camping or even make it outside much. This vid came up and i watched it from beginning to end. Great presentation, awesome content and excellent photography and editing. Thank you for taking me on this adventure with you, as a new subscriber I look forward to many more. 🤙👍
Thanks Jo! Good to hear you enjoyed it. I am glad to see people like yourself enjoying the videos! Thanks for the support and I appreciate the comment!
@@j.e.wilds-hunting ☺❤🤙
Very nice hunter....... thanks for your videos.....👍👍👍
I never seen you before but i dont understand that big number of dislikes, you do high quality content man, keep it going.
Damn this is quite hard to watch...I probably should be vegetarian if I cant get the meat by myself like you do. Thanks for making me realize this 👍🏼
we all know that you're already a vegetarian ama keep eat my meat proudly
Hunting isn't for everyone, but respect needs to go all the way around.
If you choose not to eat meat I respect that, it is your choice and no one has the right to tell you what to do.
The same goes for those that hunt or raise their own meat, being respectful of the animals life and being thankful that its sacrifice helps sustain your own life.
An animals life is to be respected, true hunters are very solemn about the sacrifice of the animal but excited about the success and being able to provide food for their family.
It is a very particular feeling, one you can only experience by being there.
The biggest/most important thing I would say is that an animal that is harvested from nature has lived a full life as nature intended. It was free, it knew predators, bitterly cold days and the bounty of summer. Animals in their habitat always have an advantage.
Very impressed with this hunt my friend - terrific photography as well.
Thankyou Muzza! Glad to hear mate thanks for the support
@@j.e.wilds-hunting c
Man is just living a rdr2 life
why are there so many dislikes? I assume it’s the same people who buy meat at woolys but outraged when it comes to ethical hunting
Seeing these videos fills me with an emotion I can't describe, the closest would be extreme longing for something I've never experienced, like, fuck I'm jealous man, thx for the amazing vids man! Or should I say mate!
Absolutely insane mate 🤙🤙. I reckon makes even better footage that you didn't have time to get a nice shot of the buck made it more intense 👌. Awesome footage of the ol' mate buck too.
Haha yeah it was a tense moment wasnt it haha cheers bro!
Incredible footage and location. Can't wait to hunt the mountains of NZ.
I'm not old for this type of stuff but I like watching them and hunting in RDR2, I wanna become one when I get older
Love the video's mate! a tramping buddy of mine had a trick for stopping excess wear on your laces from the gaiter hook, a couple of layers of that electrical heat shrink over the laces about 20-30mm long between the eyes
That's a good idea, that one will keep your laces centered to
Joe, did you notice the bird behind you? 😆
wow .amazing shoo🤗
wow perfect
What a cool experience, and beautiful animals. I’ve only been hunting twice and haven’t gotten anything. Great channel! Hello from the states!
Thanks Mark and glad you enjoy the video, have a safe and Merry Christmas - Joe
@@j.e.wilds-hunting Merry Christmas to you as well.
Same thing happened to me yesterday, Went up a face after some reds that were no where to be seen. Sitting having lunch on a spur and a cham buck walks out 50 metres away. Nice vid mate
I bet that was exciting man awesome to hear. I hope you enjoyed the moment
Love all the hunting ground you’ve shared here
birds alert🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🕊
Your page is beautiful. Keep it up👍👍👍🌷
That terrain looks pretty freaking scary for someone who's used to hunting a very flat country in Finland
One day you will have to try it!
@@j.e.wilds-hunting Long way to NZ :D Hopefully this COVID-show ends soon
@@Strutsi let's hope so!
The Finnish rifle likes it
nice vid dude and such a nice buck you got there....
best greetings from germany....and Waidmannsheil as we say to congrat the succesfull hunter...
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the support!
Recommended to me from an American Hunting buddy living and working in Taiwan. Watched through and wanted more when it was over, so obviously I subscribed. Love the videography and the comfort you have with your commentary in front of the camera - transparent that you love what you are doing. I'm a big Steve Rinella fan and I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy your channel as well. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for your fantastic feedback Shawn. Glad you found the channel and hope to see your name pop up in the future.
Kind regards, Joe 👌
The loyal audience of y
Muito bom,lugar bonito,sou do Brasil,cidade de palmital sp, abraços
what a wicked adventure mate, the quality of you videos are unbelievable and
the landscape your hunting is awesome. keep it up mate your videos are very
entertaining and you have inspired me to get out there and go hunting.
where ever you went they must not have 1080 it!!
If the area has been regularly aerial poisoned since the 1990s, would that make the information that formed the basis of the poison criticism suspect? And consequently much of the other emotive "information" from the same sources relating to pest control criticism.
All I know is the Keas were in big numbers. Some of the largest groups I've seen
Thanks for the comment Louis glad you enjoyed it
Cheers John 🤙🏻
Omg that view and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Nice work & awesome video! look forward next video!!!!!!
JE you are a idea’s man. Were the Kea warning all animals? Noisy shits aren’t they. Paradise ducks of the High Country. That gear you were wearing must be real good to keep you from freezing. A great trophy Chamois buck. Well done.
Yeah they are really curious birds and the animals around them do listen. Haha you just have to put up with them and work together. Yeah the gear is good gear it is from Stoney Creek
I was wondering what gear you were using as well. You're camo and pack. I'd love some information on them. Congratulations on an epic hunt, one for the ages. It's so beautiful there!
@@gamehunter07 thanks man the camo is Alpine Tuatara from Stoney Creek and it's also a Stoney Creek pack, the model is 60+10 Buller pack from Stoney Creek
beautiful country we live in.thanks for sharing this awesome experience you had.
No worries and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Those birds tried to help deer.
Birds : go away!! Here is a Hunter ,, go away!!
Sensational...great blog...2nd best (close run thing) country on the planet..bang!
Epic footage of the old buck.
Such a cool encounter!
BRO - I love the camera work. Super Curious - What is your Cam Gear out there?
Thanks man good to hear! I am running a few cameras but in this video I'm using my GoPro and GH5
Love the way the birds were just vibin with you
Hey Joe your hunting and fishing videos are spectacular , I live in Ireland and to see the parts of New Zealand were you hunt and fish are breath taking ,I've only joined your channel and I'm completely hooked , keep up the savage content and stay safe ,Joe in Ireland 🇮🇪
Just a little note from New Zealand there are feral goats,pigs,Austrian chamois,Himalayan tahr and deer all over the place you can shoot as many as you want, those mountains are free to shoot in ,done it many times you can camp up there for weeks cheers
I literally wanted to see how you'd carry that animal to your camp.
Pack it...
You skin it on the spot and take only what you need. Other wild animals take care of the rest.
@@e0nema0tak1v lol really? I dont think he did that.
@@ridewithvalentine96 14:48 he’s doing it
@@Probc-or9yu but he has not shown it fully
I just saw your channel and watched the recommended video. Very impressive camera shots and what a beautiful country! The cinematography was amazing, especially, considering you’re by yourself while your filming the hunt! To be able to film a lot, if not most of the action by yourself, is very impressive as you hike along the various cliffs and mountain ranges. What an absolute amazing buck you nailed. What a beautiful animal. You did a really nice job filming the hunt. Obviously, the shot happened too fast, it was impossible to film without another person! What caliber of rifle are you using? I obviously, saw the Zeiss Optics (scope) mounted on your rig! BTW: congratulations on your shot. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the comment, I am really glad you enjoyed the hard work gone it to creating these films. The rifle I'm using is a Tikka T3 7mm08, it's actually a friends rifle and it is a good one. The scope is really good also. Thanks for your support I am glad to have you on the team! Welcome my friend!
JE Wilds 🤙 I thought it was a Tikka T3,, but I wasn’t exactly sure on the Caliber. That’s why I asked. The Tikka 7mm cartridge, along with the Zeiss (Conquest) makes for a great hunting rifle. Please continue to makes these videos! Your content is absolutely awesome and addictive to watch! I really enjoy watching sporting, fishing & hunting videos, if they are shot and edited nicely, and when the scenery is stunning, it’s an added bonus. Your videos are spot on. Continued success and stay safe, especially when the weather starts getting bad! Take care and enjoy the adventure!!!
@@myinfinitestate1586 I'm glad you are finding some content your enjoying. I know TH-cam is filled with so many to choose from. I'm glad you have found my channel! Keep the comments coming mate, glad to read them
JE Wilds 🤙 Absolutely mate. Hopefully, in the future you can come to the States. If so, I can definitely have my buddy put us on some incredible moose or other big game animals. He guides in Alaska. There are several large game that he specifically guides for. The different big game species, depends upon where you obviously go. The Alaskan-Variety of moose are wicked huge. The bulls are 1,500-1,800 lbs. with an antler spread of 60-70 inches. The bulls are absolute behemoths. We can get tags for Moose, Dall Sheep, Bison, Caribou, Elk, Deer, and even Mountain Goat and Muskox. You would have to push farther North, but the hunting is absolutely incredible. If you ever plan of coming to the States, let me know if you would be interested? I’m definitely stoked to see your next video. Be safe and enjoy the hunt!
@@myinfinitestate1586 sounds amazing! Let's hope I can get there one day soon. I may send you a message
Lol funny how the birds are following him around.
This has to be the most beautiful place to hunt of all time, this doesn’t look real
You're an inspiration mate! Keep it up!
What are you capturing your footage with? Just the 'big camera' and a go pro?.
Ta
Thanks Alec really happy to hear that! Yeah in this video it is just my GoPro and GH5
Just discovered this channel, probably because of bushcraft that im into. This is absolutely top quality and you need more subs man. One more just joined today and hope to be hunting around my parts soon, late bloomer but definitely a hobby im interested in!
5:55 lovely Kia's , best part of the video
