Had a tear watching this one again clay. fly high smash RIP 😢

What you're doing with these young boys / young men is amazing Clay. My father passed away when I was 11 months old and I was always at a loss for a father figure in my life. I can't tell you what I would have done or paid to have somebody like you introduce me to life like you are these young men. Keep on doing what you're doing for as long as you can. I'm sure you can imagine the influence you're having on these boys but if you can't, let me tell you as somebody who grew up without a father figure it's something unreplaceable and unmeasurable. Love what you do. Its very admirable. Love and peace to you bro.

Got Smash the heart on that comment mate. My folks separated when I was 10 and although I got to know my dad well in later years I really struggled to find my own way into manhood without a dad being around as a boy & teen so I relate totally to what you are saying RS. Thank you

R S I totally agree! In fact, I was thinking the exact same thing as I rolled into the first comment which was this one!! I grew up with an active father who took us out each weekend and involved us in scouting etc but I knew guys who either didn’t have a father figure or had a piss poor excuse for one so I can testify that each hour u spend with these boys could literally affect generations going forward, especially during their formative years!! You’re an inspiration Clay! The work that matters most is that which continues to produce and grow long after we are gone! That is the work you’re undertaking and you’re doing a fine job from what I’ve seen!!

Smash is a legend in my whare..never to be forgotten..sweet as. he reminds me of me...RIP young man, you are in my thoughts constantly..XOX to ur mum..

Killed him self

its great to see you encourage this young lads , to hunt rather than them stuck to their phones . please keep up great content

Thats wicked carrying a stag like that at 14, i couldnt carry it and im 40

Appreciating what you are doing for these young men. And what a great set of supporters you have involved to help out. I think we all look back on our youth days and know people like you need to be around to channel them down the right path. Had a few "Clays" keep me on the right path in the past. Legend!! Keep up your great work.

Great video clay love it mate

The smile on his face is priceless. What a lucky young fulla! Awesome work Clay

A great day ! With the rifle, I like having two hands on the weapon or, slung with no hands, not just one.

Smash is a good kid, his mum is a beautiful person too. Tracking that sign trying to locate the deer was a solid effort, just shows the care that true hunters have for the beasts❤️🤙🏼 Good trip that one, nice rolling country

Your a good man Clay. My old man passed when I was only young but I was fortunate enough to be taken out pighunting, deer stalking and diving by my next door neighbour we lived on a remote coastal wairarapa sheep and beef station. He showed me the ropes as they say, the dos and donts. Forever thankful to you Paul Peeti.

Good deer mate, this is how good kids are brought up

I've watched 90+% of your content and really enjoy the interactions with the young lads and especially Smash who has come a long way. Bagging his keeper stag is a milestone in his life! Smash is growing up to be a fine young man and long may you continue to be a mentor to these young blokes and make a difference in their lives.

Top vid with a bunch of top blokes. Hard luck on the first deer

Awesome job Clay, you are a great role model to all your children and the youth (like Smash) that come in contact with you. Love your work brother, just a awesome kiwi, I give you the same respect I only reserve for the mighty All Blacks. Good onya mate.
