Incredible video, guys! The sheer excitement and dedication you put into that hunt are truly inspiring. The stag you harvested is absolutely stunning-definitely the ultimate trophy! The scenic shots and the family's camaraderie make this an unforgettable adventure. Keep up the amazing work!
Good to see u boys back hunting and posting again, thought youse had given the utube influencer caper away for real jobs. Enjoying ur new content in amazing country that's beyond most of our capabilities. Also good to see old Pete still able to get out there and keep pace with u boys.
A great video, Shot and Stag! Please keep doing your video's, in this same raw way as this. The reason I suggest this is, those of us that hunt, enjoy your style, without all the "Hollywood BS", that some people seem to think is necessary. Regards JB
Great shot great team work. Haven't seen a 14 for a while now. Just a mention, I usually cape my animals lying on their back starting from front left or right leg just above the hoof. Cut slide all way down stopping just before before rear legs do same on other front leg stopping opposite from other cut. The longer the better for taxidermist to work with. From there cut a full horizontal cut around the beast until the cuts meet. Finally totally skin all way back up towards the head until you decide where you want to make the final head cut. Thats my way not to say yours is wrong because the taxidermist will surely stitch cover your tracks. Just how I was taught by a taxidermist hunting mate 45 years ago still doing it today. That goes for all my animals goats pigs deer. Great video guys. Enjoy them all. Go safe.
Thanks for that. Yea we don’t really know what we are doing. But the taxidermist seems to think he would be able to make it work so that was good to hear. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Maybe these guys dont worry about meat recovery unfortunately otherwise they would've added it to the story or at least answered you. Often a big animal goes in the to hard basket which is a shame.
Yes we did take the meat from this animal but not all of it as we couldn’t carry everything. Also we don’t really show the meat butchering in any of our videos anymore as TH-cam often age restricts or bans our videos that show blood and guts. It’s stupid but if this happens then nobody gets to see our videos.
Btw just to let people outside New Zealand know, Deer are not native to our country and Red deer are considered the most damaging to the environment due to them being bloody everywhere and impact to vegetation. There are no natural predators and they are very difficult to control their numbers even with hunting ! Some say they are worse than possums!
Thanks for the video boys, a work mate of mine had been telling me of a big stag he had seen up in that area. I am pleased you got the reward for your climb up there.
No worries. Glad you enjoyed it. Bit of a shame for your mate that we got it before he had the chance. Hopefully he’s got some offspring up there that will grow to his size🤙
That is Stag…gering 😊👍. Hope you had venison stakes for diner. The climb is impressive enough on its own with those views! Amazing. Well done. What a result! Yes boy!😂
Awesome hunting guys, Would be great to see some emotion, high fives etc 😀 Heap of meat that's for sure, well done. Love your videos, what a life your family has. 👍👍👍
Heap of meat left behind you mean ?Did you see that they took any of the meat with them.That buck was shot so they could hang the head on a wall nothing else and I don't like it.
As a North American hunter who is also a NZ resident, I appreciate that tremendous effort and risk to take that beautiful animal. I also appreciate that those deer are non native "pests" in NZ and that for years, they have been culled just to control the numbers. But here in NA, that kind of animal is a rare gift and opportunity, and to not use every gram of that meat...well its kind of difficult to fathom. Here in NA, shooting and killing is only half the hunt. Retrieving and utilizing the meat is the real work and real reward. That is what separates the men from boys and the catered to fat asses that shoot for the antlers alone. I understand the cultural differences, but its still hard to accept. I hope you went back for that meat and realize how lucky you are there. This year in Colorado, legally, I can take only 1 cow elk by rifle in a single 5 day season. That is all I'll be entitled to legally for the whole year in the state I live in, hunting with a rifle. I'll have no opportunity to hunt deer or antelope because I did not draw a license in the lottery system. To see meat like that wasted is a shame I hope you'll never realize in NZ
I hear what you are saying Peter and in your circumstances I would probably think the same as you. However it is a different situation here where deer are considered a pest. Every year thousands of deer are culled and poisoned just to keep numbers in check. Obviously we were not trying to cull numbers in this video but I suppose it gives you a bit of context to why some animals aren’t completely utilised but hunters in NZ. We did take the best cuts of meat but not the whole thing. With big old animals in hard to access places like this we do sometimes leave some of the animal. If we want a meat animal we would shoot a younger closer deer. Our preference is always to take as much meat as we can from every animal.
@@clarkeboyshunting Thanks for taking time to reply, I appreciate that. And I do appreciate the cultural/situational differences even more with your explanation. I know a govt paid hunter in NZ. I asked him about this and he echoed your comments. Thanks again.
I was wondering the same thing. Our game department lines out exactly what is required by law to take from the animal. There are a few exceptions which in my mind should change, but we’ll see if that day ever comes. You guys should get some real hunting packs and come hunt the United States. You guys would tear it up and make a joke of the rednecks who don’t venture far from the roads! The only country over here in any shape or form similar to that in NZ would probably be Alaska. Looks like some gnarly stuff!
Yea we usually do but they didn’t make the luggage for our flights as we didn’t intend on hunting too seriously on our holiday. Things changed slightly😅
Just hunting for the trophy or did you guys take the meat out too? Here in Canada you have to take all the edible parts out by law, even if you have to do 2 to 3 more return trips!
In our country deer are considered a pest by the government and every year thousands are shot or poisoned by helicopters to keep numbers down. We like to take as much meat as we can carry but there are times when we don’t take the whole animal.
From end of Feb the stags antlers go hard. Then it’s the roar, then tahr/chamois rut and duck shooting in may. As well as a bit of pig hunting through until about august
I'm curious about what the situation is with foreign hunters going there now because, I heard that you can no longer bring your own rifle to there to hunt anymore. Is this true and what exactly is the process for foreign hunters now?
I honestly don’t know sorry. I would have thought you could bring your own rifle as long as it isn’t a semi automatic rifle they are banned in NZ. Not sure though
We did take the best cuts of meat but not the whole thing as deer are considered a pest in NZ with high numbers. With big old animals in hard to access places like this we do sometimes leave some of the animal and shoot a younger closer deer as a meat animal. Our preference is to take as much meat as we can from every animal as it doesn’t seem so wasteful.
@@clarkeboyshunting Awesome Bro, I'm in Whanganui so I know the deer populations around NZ are prolific. Beauty of a stag. Once in a life time head for some. "Up the Clarky boys" keep the footage coming!
That's that Stag of a lifetime! Well done & another great vid.
Thank you!

Haha yea he a bit of a break there but got plenty of vids coming in now. Glad you enjoy them. Appreciate the support👍
How old is Pete now? He can still do what you guys do but just needs a few more breaks and goes a bit slower.@@clarkeboyshunting
To much the boys👌🏼 congrats Noah on that beast of a stag 💪🏽🦌
Great cinematography guys! Hard core!
Glad you liked it, cheers for the comment👍

Tough guys got their merits.
I live in flat country, probably die on such hunting terrain.
Keep it up
Epic! And the hire car at the end..😄😄😄
Yea the bastards charged us $2k for a crack in the window when we dropped it off. Shouldn’t have put the coats under it😂
Letter perfect shot placement!
Well done boys great success for a day hunt!! You must be stoked!
Yea we were rapt. Thanks
Awesome team, great hunt, awesome footage too, thumbs up and regards,, Tony.
Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed the vid!
He's a Dream trophy, petty a out the broken tine ,but sure worth the big effort to get within range.😊
Hahhaha churrr brothers in the rental car😂💯💯, daymmm I hope I get that car one day 😂, that's wicked legends, mean hunt
Haha yea getting our moneys worth😂
Narly terrain.. Beautiful beast.. I was surprised you didn't even take the back straps? Do they test horrible ?
Nah our videos just get age restricted if we show cutting them up
Absolute Ripper Boys! should think the Adrenalin was doing overtime Eh! Was it a Pure Bred Red or a wapiti X.. CJ UK
Thanks. It was a pure red deer. Yep it was all go once we set eyes on him from across the valley!
Awesome stuff lads. Zim will do a great job on the mount, he's done a few of mine!
Yea can’t wait to get it back!
*Thanks for sharing the video! It's great to hear your work mate's stag sighting turned out to be true. Your effort was well rewarded.* 🦌🏞
Glad you enjoyed it🤙
this is a sick video, did the twins go to hikuai school back in the day? i think i went to school with them, keep it up lads!
Yea man that’s them alright👍
Great stag. Steep terrain. Well done. Curious though where is all the meat. I just saw the head been brought down and in the car.
I was wondering the same thing
They could be just trophy hunters
@@tracer3419 yeah mostly, i bet they wouldn't waste the meat. either eat it or give it away
Maybe these guys dont worry about meat recovery unfortunately otherwise they would've added it to the story or at least answered you. Often a big animal goes in the to hard basket which is a shame.

That was awesome really well done an great luck with the timing 👍
Thanks Jessie
Nice stag boys love the video keep up the good videos and it's such a lovely place Queenstown and a stunning scenery
Yea unreal views. Such still weather on the days we went hunting and still freezing. Wouldn’t want to be up there in the sleet and snow!
Yea I would be cold how is the farm doing can you do a video of a tour of your farm and everything
Sensational boys loved watching this one !! Well done 👍🏼
Thanks Ryan. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a wicked hunt

You stole the show on this bad boy. The locals new of him, just didn't know where he hung out in the winter - full credit and awesome hunt
Thanks mate, big day but stoked with the result!
Looks like one of the 4 released stags off jacks point farms let go up wye creek. Wicked genetics
Thanks for the video boys, a work mate of mine had been telling me of a big stag he had seen up in that area. I am pleased you got the reward for your climb up there.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it and are god you are enjoying the vids👍
*glad
Hi guys, been watching a lot of your hunting. Would love to see you guys cook something with what you guys catch.
Yea we will try putting a bit more of cooking meat in future videos
Bloody awesome guys! Top effort and fantastic stag 👍
Cheers man. Stoked!
Noah’s looking soooo good in this
Thanks so much☺️
He told me he was looking for a tangata whenua wahine
Cracking hunt boys you definitely put in the hard miles for that one and you have a great mount to show for it
Yea can’t wait to see the finished product when it’s done
Massive stag and massive balls in that alpine stuff. Chur boys mean vid!!
Cheers bro, glad you liked it!
That is Stag…gering 😊👍. Hope you had venison stakes for diner. The climb is impressive enough on its own with those views! Amazing. Well done. What a result! Yes boy!😂
Haha yes boy! Big stag and mint views, can’t complain

Awesome hunting guys, Would be great to see some emotion, high fives etc 😀 Heap of meat that's for sure, well done. Love your videos, what a life your family has. 👍👍👍
Thanks, haha yea the twins aren’t big on showing their emotions in videos😂
Heap of meat left behind you mean ?Did you see that they took any of the meat with them.That buck was shot so they could hang the head on a wall nothing else and I don't like it.
Nice hunt guys. What happened with the meat?
We took what we could carry in the camera man’s bag
Yet boys monster stag huge effort.well done.cheers.
🤙
I suggest you guys use drones to scan for them and then you can more slow to where they located.
Yea we were lucky they decided to run up where we could see them rather than escape out of sight without us getting a chance to take a shot.
Well deserved brothers, you guys are awesome
Cheers🤙
Shot within 10 mins of my house , great work , have heard of a 12pt coming out of there as well.
Haha yea neat spot. Not a bad place to live if you are into your hunting!
I'm keen to see it after mounting it. Awesome video thanks
Yea can’t wait to get it back. Will show it on our Instagram when we get it back for sure
Wow...what elevation were you at where you shot him. Looks like 15000+ ft
Question first congratulations on a fine hunt. I hunt in Utah what did you do with the meat. I drew a tag for Bull elk this year
As a North American hunter who is also a NZ resident, I appreciate that tremendous effort and risk to take that beautiful animal. I also appreciate that those deer are non native "pests" in NZ and that for years, they have been culled just to control the numbers.

Thanks Paul we were absolutely stoked with it.
Epic hunt guys 👍awesome stag 👍👍
Cheers🤙
do you ever use short africa type gaitors to stop snow bracken etc falling in top of boots
Yea we usually do but they didn’t make the luggage for our flights as we didn’t intend on hunting too seriously on our holiday. Things changed slightly😅
Bloody epic, beautiful stag and country.
Cheers mate🤙
Top hunting guys... A real hunt in New Zealand.... not just pulling the trigger under the guide instructions...!!
Thanks, god you enjoyed the vid👍

I love it guys❤
awesome strong tines did you score it ? how long and wide well done
Nah we didn’t score it. It’s only 35 inches long and got that broken tine but still a wicked trophy for us. Had plenty of age on him which was cool
What time of year do you do most of your hunting in NZ?
From end of Feb the stags antlers go hard. Then it’s the roar, then tahr/chamois rut and duck shooting in may. As well as a bit of pig hunting through until about august
Bloody hell that was a stalk! Amazing.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Was a hell of a day!
Excellent free range Stag fellas 👍🏻
the Word " HILL" doesnt apply to those MOUNTAINS. My word that is some climb. Congrats on a lovely stag.
Thanks, yea it’s definitely some steep terrain but worth the climb for a trophy like that!
Thanks for sharing that trip guys. Ripper of a stag and what a location to take it from! You'll have to show it off once you get that mount back too.
Thanks David, glad you liked it. Yea we will definitely show the finished product.
Epic trip. Well done boys
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it👍
Beautiful stag! Massive!
Thanks🤙
Wawoo verry nice seen i like it👍️👍️👍️
👍
Nice work guys! Hard work! Great example of a good hunt and stalk well deserved. Brilliant scenery doesn’t get any better!!!
Yea it was a pretty special hunt. Stoked with the stag and the views were worth it by themselves. Cheers for watching🤙
Beautiful stag, hard earned, wished I had made the trip down under years ago, too bloody old for those mountains now!
Yes it’s sone seriously steep country. But worth it for the views
I Carnot believe u left the meat back on the hill
awesome fellas great hunt alright
Cheers
Wow what a video, wow what a view, wow what a stag, wow done fellas. .
Yea we were stoked!
What a fantastic animal, congratulations to the boys. Another awesome hunt in beautiful country can't wait for the next one.
Thanks mate. Will try keep them coming but this one will be hard to follow!

Yea we couldn’t believe it
Hi guys did you's take out any of that meat??
Yea, couldn’t carry it all though unfortunately just boned out what we could fit into our day packs
Mean stag brothers. Tū meke 🙌🏾
Cheers brother🤙
love your videos
Thanks mate
@@clarkeboyshunting thank you
Who's bringing down the meat?
Haha tha rental car lol😅
Haha that’s what they are for isn’t it😅
Did you leave meat there?
No
Remarkable hunt boys...
Any chances of us coming out for a hunt with you guys ?
Awesome watch boy’s🤙🏽
Thanks Karl glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations
👍
You left the meat on the mountain?
Don’t really show the meat cutting up etc. as TH-cam age restricts the videos for being too shocking🤦♂️
Good job young boys! Did you bring the meat? If not, what a waste and it's not fair for one to die for nothing.
Yep we took meat. Thanks🤙
Mean stag.mean vid too.👌🏽
Thanks, glad you liked it
Woop Woop that's a cracker. So close to town too 👍
Yea couldn’t believe it. Every now and then you fluke it👍

Haha awsome guys
Head back for a few tins haha throw him in the rental and hit the road haha

Awesome hunt boys! Giving me the itch to get out this winter.
Yea it’s worth it on the good days.
What a stag. Be the best back drop to a stag photo. Well done boys! If you do not take the meat and just the head, what do you say???
