Sambar deer hunting, Vic high country (big stag backpack hunt)

We head into the Victorian High Country in search of the illusive Sambar deer. Kayde has his first backpack adventure that turned out to be action packed and a trip we will never forget.

Trying to workout what distance I need to be in order to get a good shot without them scenting me. I’m 10 months in with 21 hunts and still haven’t dropped a deer. Appreciate any info

    Hey mate, my lense can make it look further away than it seems. Not many of my shots are further than 100m. All of the clearings we sit on are close up. 30 to 100 most of them. I find the quiet little clearings more likely to hold deer than the bigger ones.

    Hey Luke, certainly did mate. We were on our hands and knees for hours. He had travelled with small drops of blood an entire system for more than 600m. The clearing I though he may have sat down at as it had good beds and thickets was where we shot the next day thinking that was him. We then looked again but could not find further blood or tracks. I tried again two weeks later but got snowed out and no vehicle access for a while after that. I’ve passed a lot on that face so will continue to track out sections when I’m back in the area. We have had deer shot like this show up on our cameras totally healed. A recent stag had three healed gun shot wounds with captive projectiles 30cal or bigger inside him. Still dominating the other stags. Very tough animals to say the least.

    Your right there Scotty. There is another current attempt to take away the game status of these magnificent deer. All I can do is help as many of the right minded hunters to keep up the sustainable harvesting and procurement of food for our families. At the end of the day, the food argument will be the strongest one for us when it comes to these wackos trying to poison everything
