Solo Red Deer Hunting with Recurve Bow

A fully self filmed process of harvesting wild venison on public land with Traditional style gear. ( reuploaded it because I buggered up the rendering process last time so the picture quality wasn't too flash )

    Brother , you live a most amazing life. I can say first hand that you a tremendously privileged to have such pristine wilderness at your disposal. A real life garden of Eden without the large predators to compete with. You’re very blessed and I hope you decide to have a son or adopt a young man to pass on the knowledge and lifestyle. Consider becoming a foster parent to a teen who needs the peace and stability of a mellow man like yourself and the healing power of nature and physical strength he’d build running a trap line with a back pack.

    Having shoes in New Zealand is a sign of great wealth. I'd give anything for those shoes. And those shoes are the only ones his whole family own - that's why he stalks barefoot regularly, when it's one of his siblings turn to wear them. I''m in my 60s and still waiting for my first pair - which I will get when my uncle dies 😁😀

I find it literally awe inspiring that you can actually smell a deer! Like whoa!!!!! Love the barefoot approach! You are definitely bout it bout! I know you're all bout that possum trapping but I would absolutely love to see more bow hunting vids! Thanks for sharing your adventures being a beastly hunter, trapper, woodsman!

    Been hunting with only a Bow for meat for 40 yrs, you are on to it..I found dive boots & camo on face ( charcoal ) were a game changer..when I started we made our own camo, because you could not buy it..Shot a wild Boar last month as he attacked our boar George Kune..standing in our bedroom, through open window, 40 mtrs , heart shot with a 70lb Compound Bow..hes fat as and in the freezer..You are a legend in my whare, you could teach the tamariki so much, a " Bush craft School "

    I noticed in the bush a white face is the first thing you can see of a person. Obviously why Africans and Aborigines are dark skinned. They are closer to the original hunter. We are snow adapted.

    Very nice bow-hunting. Well done. Yes, an arrow at close range shot from say a 45-lb re-curve bow, has a hell of a wallop, and it's shock power at close range has a great killing effect besides the broad-head's cutting damage. Heart, kidneys, and liver are all good eating I enjoy. Bows are versatile weapons as they can shoot fish, birds, small game, and large game. Keep it up, it's a good video you've made, so make more of them.
