G’day Jamie, nice job by you and Trent.I’m no doctor but I’ve clearly diagnosed Trent with a full blown case of “Hunteritis”!This illness is highly contagious for all like minded people and will be with him for the rest of his days.There currently isn’t a known cure for “Hunteritis”,but in the company of fellow sufferers and whilst being in the great outdoors the condition is manageable.This condition is only fatal for your quarry.Welcome to the Club Trent.Cheers, Rob.

Great to see your video. I m a Pro hunter from RSA moving to WA. What a relief to see hunters out there mate!

I m sure i commented on this earlier. But as I am preparing for a goat trip next week, I'm getting my fill over KZread goat hunting content to keep the excitement up. Such a great vid. I mentor loads of new hunters and enjoy the experience of their first successes so much. Thanks for sharing!

Good job Jamie, nothing like that first time excitement. Congrats to Trent on his first animal with the bow.

Great lads. A special time to share and a great way of showing how accessible quality organic meat is in the bush for those responsible hunters and gatherers. 👍

Well done Trent, the smile said it all. Slow cookers rock.

Bloody awesome.👍👍

well done congrats on the effort with the bow.. can’t wait until we get out of lockdown and we can get back in the hills..

I would love to be able to learn how to hunt for my own meat. When I was in the single digits a very long time ago, I used to go camping with my pop and stay on farms all around WA, hunting roos and foxes but he passed away before I could learn how to do it for myself. It really doesn't help with ppls attitudes in WA towards something that is a very fundamental basic human skill for survival which we all have forgotten. It's also so frowned upon here that it's difficult to talk to ppl to find recourse's to develop that skill.

In saying that I have never turned down an offer to hunt with someone else! It helps when you can reciprocate spots or help them out in some other way. Goodluck man

try taking the neck roasts off the animal. They are arguably the best cut on the animal for curries, they have a heap of sinew running though it, but that just liquefies after 3-4 hours in the slow cooker.

On a broadside shot do you shoot into foresrm/shoulder or behind the shoulder/forearm?

@MountainMan_NZ

I prefer to go behind the shoulder, and punch through ribs either mid lungs 🫁 or low heart. I think as a rifle hunter I default to the main shoulder/forearm area which is not good for bow hunting!!!

@@MountainMan_NZ so behind the shoulder for bow/about mid way up the body. And directly into forearm/shoulder area with rifle? And would behind the shoulder be a good shot with a rifle or would into it be better? And why cant you shoot into forearm with high pound bow? Thanks

@MountainMan_NZ

2 жыл бұрын

Yes midway behind shoulder bow (lungs are biggest target), yep elbow for rifle. You can double lung shoot an animal with rifle and it will kill the animal, but usually they will run as if not hit, whereas a shoulder shot usually breaks both front legs and they collapse or find it very difficult to run off with their front wheels broken! Bow shooting an animal in the front shoulder just lacks penetration and less likely to get full pass through which you want for maximum blood loss

Hey thanks for the video. I am currently in the Socialist Republic of Victoria, so I need to move (I am old enough to remember when Australia was FREE). WA is one of two places. I don't want to know specifics, however what region are you in, do you hunt in all WA? How is the hunting over there? Species, quantities etc. Any info you could give would be much appreciated.

Thanks mate, as I said in reply to your same message on two other WA hunts, the hunting here in WA is limited to private land only. And so it comes down to contacts - as opposed to NsW or Vic where they have public land hunting opportunities which are in my opinion far more rewarding and enjoyable than private land. Nonetheless, WA has deer (reds, fallow, rusa, and apparently Sambar around Cape leuwin), pigs, goats and other ferals such as camels, brumbies etc further north and in land. If you come over here you should join the ADA WA branch to meet like minded folk. Cheers
