Hunting a Sambar Stag

With a day and a half off work, and the desire to hunt sambar strong, I was more than happy to take the 13 hour round trip to Victorian public land even if it meant I only had one afternoon of hunting. I was richly rewarded for my efforts with a massive, old sambar stag, whose antlers were going backwards. It's the largest deer i've ever shot and will likely take, ever in my life.

    As a prospective deer hunter in NSW, I admire your passion for hunting and your person as an ethical hunter who knows how to respect the animals and admire and appreciate the God gifted nature. Keep doing the good work, and stay blessed. I hope to see you somewhere out in the bush.

    Thanks, it's what I hope to be able to do as well. I just made jerky, sausages and bresaola- I'm so pumped! Tight lines for the trout season and if you are near pines make sure you get some mushrooms in autumn.

    Excellent video mate! I went out for my first stalk in the hills this weekend and took a nice hind (beginners luck) , but the best part of the weekend was just being out in the bush enjoying myself and the rush that every gully you drop into you may just walk into one of these magnificent creatures! Happy hunting!

    Beautiful hunt mate. I am finally not long off going on my first hunt (Not sure what it will be as yet, but hopefully deer) I get to bring home my Ruger American 30-06 and my Marlin .22 later this week or early next week depending on the NSW firearms registry. I will make sure I am an ethical hunter and same of those that I with.

    You really showed respect to the animal, for example the fact that you've putted back the tongue in his mouth made yourself a gentlemen sportsman. You preserved the dignity in death to the animal and you got my admiration for it. If you come to Canada I'll be glad to get you to hunt moose, white tails and caribou. Very nice trophy, cheers mate!

    Very sorry, Gave you a dislike by accident youtube loaded your post while I was looking at another. The individual shot a samba on the run when he wasn't capable of making the shot, and the animal suffered unnecessarily, that really pisses me off. Do love your posts, have learned a lot.
