All was perfect, almost - back later. So perfect was....... Enjoyable Content, legitimacy high, interesting, marinade check and going good. The deer was (in my opinion) treated with respect after it was selected as game/food. I expect the hunt was ethical - without evidence - given the limits of this video. Shoutout as complete genius where it appears @streamcooledgame. Back Later = HERE..... Then you started cooking - Mate...... Happy to travel - you get it/the protein - we co-operate on marinade - I cook it. Please. Honestly, as a Victorian, I suggest it could be nuanced a touch in the kitchen dept. I would almost pay to go out on to a field, early dawn, to stalk rabbits and such with kids old enough to understand food/provenance.. My kids @2-3 got fertile eggs for a Sussex that sat on a golf ball for a couple of days. The kids called her Dotti (if you know, you know...). She hatched 7 . Australorps. 5 Hens, 2 were more noisy. All went on to Corn only as soon as the morning alarms started. The Coq Au Vin was a special meal for my family. I was very proud to send the kids and their Mum to the shops for a walk whilst I prepp'd dinner. I was even prouder that we discussed why dinner, was dinner and where it came from. The ridiculous thing is........ I believe that what we did was special. It was the best effort we could put forward - and so do my kids.............. @fuckmarketing @fuckmoney @fucksupermarkets @lookback-itsforward @heff.chef@gmail

Hey mate, cheers for the video. I'm originally from Vic but have been in WA for 10 years. heading back for a hunting trip April next year. was it easy enough to take ur gun and gear on the plane? and all good buying ammo with our shit paper licence?
@crazyfishhuntfilms71844 жыл бұрын
Mathew Beale Hi Mathew. Few trips I have done I have always flown with Virgin and have never had an issue at all. I took Ammo over as well as bought it in VIC. Just make sure you take a copy of both the paper license and the WAPOL Card that gets issued with it. I bought a hard case to travel with the rifles as heard to many horror stories of guys getting their rifles damaged by being in soft bags. Packed the Ammo in a lock box and put in checked in luggage. Just be sure that when you get to the airport, you grab one of the ground staff at check in as there is some additional paperwork and check in docs that they will issue. Everything goes in and out the oversize baggage counter and does not get handled by a series of baggage handlers. The guys you give it to at the counter are the ones that put it on the plane. Same at other end. Bought back antlers and meat also. Meat sealed in vac bags in an esky with sealed ice block and duct taped up and antlers in an additional seperate suitcase that I bought prior to check in from Kmart. Guys have strapped them to their packs and have them shrink wrapped at the airport using the shrink wrap service at Melbourne (international terminal) but if you have time, just buy another cheap one. Look fwd to hearing about your trip!! Scott.

Mathew Beale is a lot easier than I thought too. Was very surprised. Trying to find land to shoot on here in WA is super hard. I’ve been fortunate enough to go out with a friend who has access to 40k hectares up near Westonia but for Roos and foxes mainly. Another hunting buddy has got into a place down south chasing reds through his ADA membership but nothing productive as yet. Is pretty much a closed shop here in the west unfortunately.

Charles Bawden I had absolutely no issues with virgin travelling with firearms. I called ahead to see if there was anything that I needed to cover off but both flights simply stated just turn up and it will be managed at the airport. You need to ensure that your Rifle is in a lockable case and that Ammo is stored in a seperate lockable case and in your checked in luggage. Ground staff at check in will talk you through checking in. Is super simple. You’ll get an additional tag that needs to be shown to oversize baggage collection when collecting at other end As far as License goes out Check www.gma.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/317249/Application-for-a-Game-Licence- General-v19-1.pdf Get in early as they can take a while to be issued. Unless tour hunting with hounds, you only need the deer stalking license. Happy to help out in any way mate. Can’t wait to her how your trip goes!

Crazy Fish Hunt Films legend. Thanks mate, much appreciated. Also enjoyed your video on the kit you took. Is there anything you’d change in terms of what you took vs what you’d change out?
@crazyfishhuntfilms71844 жыл бұрын
Charles Bawden depending on the time of year have quality clothing and boots! I took 2 pairs of compression thermals, one always stayed dry for when back in camp and for sleeping during the cold nights. The sock liners were also really great for stemming moisture and adding additional padding for long days on your feet. For me, comfort is king and I had the small hiking tent I took was excellent for base camp set up but if your moving every day, a stony creek fly does the trick. There’s not too much that I wouldn’t take next time but would look to ditching the little stretcher and using a good quality air inflatable mattress, wouldn’t bother with the crocks for river crossings and would upgrade my wet weather gear. The Spika jacket kept me warm but in the big downpours, the water heavily absorbed into the lower part of the jacket and pocket areas. I’ve also bought a telescopic walking pole with gun rest for my next trip. It would have been really handy when packing the deer out in some of the steep and slippery terrain. The Garmin InReach was without a doubt one of the best pieces of kit that I have given its versatility and am looking at spotting scopes and a little tripod now for the hours spent glassing, but not essential. Take plenty of thick rubber bands and zip lock bags and zip ties.. I found tonnes of uses for these. Also take a miniature tool set for in field repairs or adjustments you may need to rifle or scope as once you’re out there it’s very difficult to carry out any type of repair work. Leather man Wave with bit attachments came in really handy. Have upgraded my pack to a Tetonka 75ltr Bison as opposed to the 45ltr Spika pack. Way more stable and very light. Make sure you have a thorough but compact medical kit with at least two compression bandages. We came across a few snakes. I wore my gaiters every single day which were great also for water crossings and keeping your lower legs dry from the wet undergrowth. I also found the flip up scope covers really great for keeping the lenses clean and free of moisture/rain. Virgin allows 20kgs of meat back into WA. I bought a cheap esky from Bunnings and duct taped the hell out of it to bring back. Also bought the antlers and skull cap back in a seperate suitcase the I bought from Kmart in Melbourne prior to coming home. Just make sure you wrap it all up with your clothes or something. Virgin had no issues with that. Some guys will attach them to their packs on the outside and then at Melbourne airport there is a shrink wrap facility where they will wrap up the entire package prior to luggage check in. Take plenty of batteries or a decent power bank to keep your electronics charged and/or a small solar panel. I have a goal zero one that works really well for my cameras, GPS and two way radio. Most of all try and be a minimalist. It’s is surprising to thing what you actually don’t need!

Paul South Hi Paul, thank you for you comment and watching the vids. You raise a valid point. We take water purification tablets with us if and when we need to gather water from streams or rivers and we typically boil it if we have an opportunity to. In this area, there aren’t any pigs but there are the odd wild dog. There had also been tonnes of rain to flush the systems out which gave us a lot more comfort but agreed, you have to be cautious about where you source your water from.

@crazyfishhuntfilms71845 жыл бұрын
DiggerMel thanks for your kind comment and glad you liked the videos.... the tape is just simply normal electrical tape wrapped around the end of the barrel to stop foreign objects entering it as we were traversing through thick bush etc. The percussion from the compression of air in the barrel when a round is fired simply blows the tape out and doesn’t effect accuracy. I’ve tested this at the range and seems to work fine.

forty5degrees thanks mate! And cheers for watching. Glad you enjoyed the series. We packed the meat into eskies and flew it back on Virgin. They only let you take 20kgs on plane but also froze and shipped back on air freight courier. Was still frozen when I got it back next day. Used gel filled ice packs to keep frozen. Did another trip couple of months back to NZ chasing fallow. Is a two part series on the channel if ya interested.
That was very nice, thank you for sharing. I subed.
What was with the second shot mate on the stag you shot
blokefromthebush Hi mate, thanks for watching!... 1st shot entered just above right eye cavity and exited out to the right. Missed brain entirely so only really concussed him. Thought he was down and out however As we were taking a couple of pics he actually got up and attempted to run off albeit he stumbled and fell. Had to put 2nd shot in him to finish off.
Crazy Fish Hunt Films hahahahaha yeah I thought may have been the case.
Great five part series, enjoyed this immensely , thanks for taking us with you on your hunt.
Congratulations , well done on you first Sambar Stag, a very nice animal indeed.
Thanks Hank Braff. Was extremely excited if you couldn’t tell 😜 and super proud !! Cheers for watching mate.
Great vid but can the music next time. Also how are you carrying it all in and what about food and cook kit?
flash gordon thanks bud. Didn’t quite get the volume mix right on this one! Everything fit into a 60 litre extendable pack although I did ditch a couple of items. We set up a base camp where we stored most stuff and day pack hunted from there. Mainly back country meals built up with venison and a jetboil which I got when I landed in Melbourne.
I agree with FlyerOneFPV the background music is really distracting and it makes it hard to hear your useful content!
Dave West thanks mate. Yea didn’t quite get the volume mix right on this one! Cheers for watching
Watching for the 2nd time 😂. Great stuff mate. Congrats on the stag.
NJMS EDC 👍👍 thanks mate!.. glad your enjoying it and thank you for your message!
Good stuff, prob recommend you wear a blaze cap. Lot of hunters around and need to be seen to be safe.
Nice one, well done on the meat animal and wall mount.
nice vid mate, look forward to the next one
great country, good to see you haven't lost that Southland Riversdale accent , nice filiming
Just one more point . DO NOT DRINK THE WATER ! The amount of wild dogs /pigs up there its a no brainer . Guardia is a nasty bacterial infection and if your on your own it could be a death sentence .
Paul South Hi Paul, thank you for you comment and watching the vids. You raise a valid point. We take water purification tablets with us if and when we need to gather water from streams or rivers and we typically boil it if we have an opportunity to. In this area, there aren’t any pigs but there are the odd wild dog. There had also been tonnes of rain to flush the systems out which gave us a lot more comfort but agreed, you have to be cautious about where you source your water from.
No blaze orange?
Hi Paul, We weren't wearing it but had blaze orange on our packs most of the time.
Very well done series , a lot of work though editing all that footage but something you'll be able to share with your grandkids and show why grandad's knees are stuffed ! You'll be back again next season , your hooked .
Red bellies grow to over 2 metres long !
Congratulations mate , epic series of vids , good for you guys, putting the hard yards in & having a successful adventure . Love hunting Samba...
Congratulations mate , nice stag
Hey mate iv been loving ur vids, keep em coming please. How do u rate the stoney creek clothing? Do u have more vids coming of trips? Cheers mate
Hey Sharky Shepo... love the Stoney Creek clothing. Is great quality and versatile in a range of different climates. Real hard wearing too and I put it through its paces! Was still comfortable when soaking wet also. May be putting together a two day hunting trip into NZ for Red Deer over the next 4 weeks as heading over there from PERTH this week. Will be some good fishing footage also. Glad your likin the vids mate! Warm barrels brother.
Good stuff, maybe tad too much filming in the bush, found myself fast forwarding a lot.
Thanks for watching John... is easy to get a little carried away when editing these up! Fast Fwd buttons a good one for those that get bored of my commentary!!
Good catch "im shakin" 😁
V D7 cheers bud. Was an epic experiance for me! Thanks heaps for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
great series mate awesome stag what an amazing place is the high country of Victoria also sth eastern NSW I have been fortunate enough to have fished and hunted a vast amount of this area for more than 50 years unfortunately my dodgie knees have stopped me being able to hunt in recent years but you guys keep me being able to see that hunting for deer is still going on keep up the good work
Nice set up mate. I have a near identical rifle scope package but in 270. Keep up the great vids. Great to see another Perth guy getting out there.
Wow that's a great series. I'm so happy for you guys and although I've never hunted deer, I learned some things from your series. Thank you.
What a awesome hunting trip I really enjoyed it. Well done to you and the guys with you that made this video great. Just one question:what tape were you using on the end of your rifle and what was it for. Cheers.
DiggerMel thanks for your kind comment and glad you liked the videos.... the tape is just simply normal electrical tape wrapped around the end of the barrel to stop foreign objects entering it as we were traversing through thick bush etc. The percussion from the compression of air in the barrel when a round is fired simply blows the tape out and doesn’t effect accuracy. I’ve tested this at the range and seems to work fine.
Thanks mate don’t forget your Bog roll
Jarrod Morgan yea don’t fancy using ferns!! Always carried a roll in my pack but!
Really enjoyed your videos. Well done
Nice work and great editing
Great effort and first stag mate. Hopefully many more to come
Luke N thanks Luke. One of the most memorable moment I’ve ever had and stoked to be able to share it. Thanks for watching bud. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Great series of videos of a great hunting trip buddy, nice work and well done on successfully bringing home a nice trophy for the wall and some awesome organic meat for the dinner table.
Thanks Christian Hunters Australia, it certainly was a great trip and an experience Ill never forget. To be able to bring beautiful meat home and a great set of antlers was really the icing on the cake to an amazing trip! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it too.!
good stuff mate, cheers for sharing
You really showed the true side of hunting with lots of emotion and hard times but you kept going and overcame the odds to nail a nice stag well done and look forward to many more cheers Don
Thanks Don Gibbon, certainly was a lot of high and low points, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing and overcoming and with a result like I got in the end made anything else pale in existence. Loved every minute!.... glad you liked the series mate. Thanks heaps for your comments.
What a fantastic wrap up to the trip Scott. The summation at the end was spot on mate, and i can tell you're hooked for life now haha! welcome to the club!! Shame about your missed stag. It happens to the best of us. Won't be the last either! Cheers Jamie
Thanks Jamie, am sure you know too well what missing a good animal feels like although wouldnt think it happens too often!. Glad you liked the series mate, was well worth putting it together like this I think!. catch up soon.
