100% the meat is the reason I hunt.

Thanks mate!

We are sticky regulated on dog breeds we can use for hound hunting, there are also size limits on those breeds. We use a mix of Beagles and Harriers bloodhound are also acceptable.

Thanks, it went 26.5”

He certainly didn’t bail on the hard work!! He carried it most of the way I just gave him a hand with the steepest thickest part.

Glad you liked it!

They are Euastacus kershawi in the video

@@wheretoonext yes. That's what I meant. Where was that?

Yes me too

Thanks mate. Strangely enough it was the only hunt all year I didn’t get the dogs voicing on film.

40.5” was it a Sambar? Put the link up for us

Hound-hunting is very much fair-chase. The quarry is pursued in the most natural manner, one which it is well-adapted to avoid, and which allows it to use all of its natural defensive abilities. A kill when hunting in this manner is far from a certainty.

100%! With all the technology that the modern stalker carries it’s probably less fair chase. I have often wondered if everyone in the crew went stalking instead of hounding would we get more deer per weekend? My feeling is we probably would. But it’s not about that at all it’s about working with the dogs and others to enjoy the bush. I enjoy both styles of hunting and we should definitely all stick together to protect each other and a common interest, Hunting.

@@wheretoonext With you all the way. It’s well to be aware of the advantages that technology gives us, including things like scent-blockers and long-range optics - both of which deny quarry the use of their natural senses. I’d also point out that the term “fair chase” arose amongst people for whom hunting with hounds was THE method.

Thanks mate. It’s a fantastic shape im wrap with it

I might need to work on my size estimates calling it a 23-25 was A little wrong

@@wheretoonext hard when they’re on the move!

Good tip!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s definitely worth trying to get an invite and giving it a go. It’s a lot of fun!

Ignorance and prejudice on your part, do not make us wrong. There is far more hard work in keeping hounds than pulling your rifle out of the safe. You get to call off your hunt whenever you feel like it. We only get to finish when the dogs come out. You don't go any further than you feel comfortable. We go wherever the deer and hounds take us. You do you best to deny the deer the use of their primary senses and defensive behaviour. We hunt in a way that ensures that the deer knows we are coming. It is fair chase, and one of the oldest and most traditional forms of hunting. You do you, but sneering at others does not make you "better". 😢

Wits and skill🤣🤣 Are you just trolling?? Nothing more rewarding than training and working with good dogs. Take all of your stalking skills and multiply them by 3 or 4. I'd challenge you to even keep up Gary

@@timebert9467 This is just like some of the hunts in Africa where the hunter sits in a blind in comfort with food and drink and the game is driven towards them to shoot their trophy for the wall. Thats not hunting and neither is flushing game with dogs. Sorry to spoil your party.

@@gary426 Right. Ummm... Any other -incites- insights?

@@gary426 hound hunting is one of the oldest forms of hunting, we’ve got to band together not be against each other. Otherwise the government will stop all forms of hunting and just send choppers in or poison them , there’s more deer around now than 40 years ago

😂😂 most of us are alright.

@@wheretoonext hahaha into it mate, all the best!

The river was quite cold! I would of done the same if it was an option

We quite often do as well, but it’s nice to be done at lunch time occasionally

The thought had definitely crossed my mind. The camera work for this video was seriously poor

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks mate, it’s well on the mend now as you’ll see in the next video.

Thanks, I often tell people I delete about 20hrs of footage for every 1hrs worth of video. Filming hunting is totally different to just about anything else and you don’t get a second take
