What a great adventure. You young fellas do a great job on your hunts, a little heart stopping at times traversing some of that terrain, you all got big balls. Look forward to your next trip. By the way, that missed shot on the chamois from the hut, never put pressure on the barrel, especially hard surface like wood or rock, as it puts the barrel harmonics way out of whack, that is why quality rifles have free floating barrels, had you put the stock on the wooden rest, I reckon you might have got a hit. Great stuff guys, keep up the great vids.

Awesome video and hunting adventures. Food for thought: One thing I’ve learned hunting in the Germanic countries is the protection of mother animals; regardless of the species. It’s actually a written law. Shooting a sow that is still nursing piglets for example, especially when done intentionally is not only considered unethical, but against the law. I fully understand that hogs are a nuisance in most areas of the world and in many areas it’s common practice to shoot every one you can, but taking out a mother will usually mean the young will suffer and die. I’m not trying to preach or criticize, but rather share a lesson that I, as an American learned in Germany. Happy hunting 🍻!

@@southislandriflewalkers5545 in general, in the EU there are completely different rules, public land is divided into small areas, each area is leased to a group of several dozen hunters called a circle or a club. Such a club is obliged to pay compensation to farmers for damage to crops by wild animals, and it is also obliged to regulate the animal population according to a top-down plan. The financial inflows to the club come from commercial hunting, game acquired for game purchase or payments from hunters who take the game for their own use. That is why the hunter works a lot as an aid to the farmer and builds infrastructure for effective hunting around farmlands. We also hunt wild boar, or rather mainly at night with night vision and thermal imaging, ASF is spreading and the wild boar population is being reduced. Shooting a bull deer is a big expense for the average hunter. And so far from nature it all takes place. Each piece of animal is a lot of papers for hunting, buying, hunting clubs, district board - the head hurts, and when I watch your videos, I start wondering where I live??? How it is in NZ? Can I come and hunt on my own? DO I need any paper every sucesfull hunt?

@@andrzejszczepanik1770 As far as I know in NZ all you need is a firearms licence and a permit to hunt off public land which you can just download free. After that you are free to roam. No bag limits, no seasons, no paperwork and no requirement to take the meat even. All our game animals are introduced non native and have no natural predators thus they are considered a pest that needs management. Such a great resource.
