@AT-HB-4120 thank you! A lot of time goes into it that's for sure. Love if you could subscribe.. algorithms don't love hunting content!

@juantovar4861 thank you! Lots more on the channel. Love it if you could subscribe

A Love doesnt really answer my question, but ty, I think your nice too.

@@SimonPerry-cz4ke 😁

@lalkirati4067 sadly here in nz the purpose of this trip was population control as well as hunting for meat for families. We have zero predators and the numbers go crazy without hunting

@GabeG-v2i the 6mm CM is s gen2 nexus by element optics. The 7prc I believe is a SFP nightforce. The 223 was a Burris and the 308 is a sightron S-tac

We fed 6 families with this meat. But also here in NZ, we have no predators and every mammal is introduced. They need control or there is no balance and our native species and plants suffer.

@varmint223 the L35 had the lower resolution sensor. 384 vs 640. Aldo the base magnification is higher with the L35. The rest is pretty similar. I'd recommend going for the 640 res sensor every day if you can save your pennies. I know a sale or two will be coming up in NZ nearer the roar. The L35 higher base mag means it's more suited for glassing hills and slopes 300m + away from you and less useful up close for wallaby and rabbits etc. T Just a smaller field of view of that makes sense

@@aeriyehettt no.. we towed a trailer up for as much meat as possible and fed about 6 families

@ChasetheWildNZ i will subscribe 4 that🤣✌️👍

@aeriyehettt thank you!! Much appreciated

@@benjaminbradley3009 we very much are!! If you're ever over give me a bell

@@HunterHoward787R thanks!

It will work bloody well with those. Try the 80gr eldms too

@ChasetheWildNZ they will be ok in the 1-8" twist in the 223?

@stephenferguson6363 should be with the extra speed. But also very similar pill to the 75gr

@danielsutherland8272 best way to stop you from falling down the cliff

@richardtumarae350 it was mostly collected. Fed about 6 families I think. We took a trailer up haha hence why we had to winch some areas

@Ihavenofilter-12345 no. Great meat saver. Thanks for watching. Heaps more on the channel if you're keen to check them out

@@PencilProper 😁😁😁😁

@@briankadams66 haha he was certainly confused!

@effapisa4873 here we have no predators and all mammals are introduced. They need control or our native plants and environment suffer hugely. Currently our government is running a national competition to cull goats and they spend millions every year on poisons. Sadly it's the reality of some countries

@jamescrydeman540 yes it's a totally different skill. I bow hunt too. Not suited to control numbers though

@@ChasetheWildNZ Culling is not hunting. To get your British Army Sniper badge, you have to cross at least 1600 metres unseen by the strategically placed observers, if you are seen at any point up until an observer, who is summoned to the shooter by the shooter by commands giving distance and directions is able to touch the shooter, whose shot had to be under 400 metres, is able to touch the shooter . At the point where the observer summoned to the shooter is standing by the shooter and can touch him the summoned observer asks the other observer if any can see the shooter ,if so the shooter fails. The summoned observer asks the same of all the other observers each time the shooter gives the summoned observer directions to him. So effectively trained qualified snipers have been taught an essential element of hunting, moving about but being unseen by numerous sets of eyes.

@jamescrydeman540 I thought it was under 200m they had to get here. I believe it's 200m here in Nz. I have a few mates who have passed that and were snipers back in the day.

@@ChasetheWildNZ The friend with the snipers badge said in Britain you start out in a valley with observers posted all round and through it, you start 2000 metres from the target and are not allowed to shoot until you have passed 1600 mteres, you can go further if you wish, It’s more about the concealment than the marksmanship, though by this stage of your military development and with your interest in the snipers badge your marksmanship is probably up there anyway.

@jamescrydeman540 yes it's all about concealment and observations. I think they then have to back out and be unseen after their shot too! Sadly their factory ammo let's them down a bit on the shooting front. We have competed against the NZ team in a civilian long range and hunting competition out to 2kms and their ammo wasn't doing them favour's with ES of over 70fps reliable hits out far aren't really possible

@sharlenejukes117 he is a lucky man if you are scope shopping for him!! I often use 15-20 power for the longer shots. You can't go wrong with the SFP helix HDLR 2-16 power. Bloody good scope as an all rounder. Great for the price too.

@sjvche7675 every animal we hunt is invasive here in Nz. We have no land mammals that are native and zero predators

@English_Speaking_Fox amen they do! Heavy pills are the way to go! A fast twist 243 is the same. I have a load of 109gr eldms which are even better.

@@ChasetheWildNZ I bought myself a new Tikka Aspire in 243Win for my 70th, at the time I was unaware that a 1 in 8 twist was coming out and ended up with the 1 in 10 😭. I found the ELD-X in 90grn worked well, but it doesn't like anything over 100grn. Over the last years I have taken two fallow at 350yds & 375yds and one red at 355yds, all clean shots. My limit is 400yds on deer and 600yds on goats and Wallabies, I shoot nowhere near as good as Jake. I have organised three days on wallabies for next week, it will be interesting to see what it can do!

@@seeaniesaysHey haha gotta fill the awkward silence

@larsandersson4394 with a lot of effort! Mostly boned on the mountain. For this one we dragged a trailer up. (Hence the winching) However a lot can be left here as population needs control and sometimes the terrain is too steep to get to it

@peterparsons7141 thank you! Certainly a lot of practice and dope checking to make it all happen. Love if you subscribe and watch more.. heaps and heaps on the channel. Also always keen to take people out if you ever come over. No seasons. No limits, no tags.. fill your boots!

@@rdsii64 for sure! Thanks for watching.. these hills humble your legs

@chrishendy5052 o man that'd be so tempting. Come over for a hunt!! Plenty more action on the latest vids. Get amongst it

@ChasetheWildNZ Hanging Rock, NSW. Fallow, Red, pigs, pretty much the whole menu 👍 you guys would love it.

@@chrishendy5052 sounds epic

@tevitapalu1161 nah we took a trailer up and fed about 6 families.. but there is a lot that doesn't get eaten by humans here in NZ. We have no predators. Everything is introduced and the numbers go crazy and the land suffers if let go unchecked. Our government spends millions on poisons here sadly

@@danzielinski672 spring here

Haha but at least they have taken the step to be in the bush...

@@ChasetheWildNZTrue... but hopefully eventually they'll learn how to tune themselves into the bush and discover that the rolls of pink plastic tape that they fkn tie on trees and all this flashing electronic gadgetry is nothing but excess bullsh*t that doesn't show or teach them anything whatsoever

@@steino101 thanks mate

@juncampanilla2380 we took a trailer up the hill and fed 5 families but sadly a lot does go to waste here as so many numbers need to be taken to control numbers. We have no predators here at all.

@richardt.4224 thanks mate! Good work on those possums

Shooting usually achieves limited control. Those 700 possums could probably have been killed in 1/10th of the time, without leaving the remnant population extremely neophobic. Quite likely nowhere near as "cleaned out" as observed. This principle extends to most pest species. Coupled with the "management, "harvest", "take one for control", "that one has potential (over 50% of such common assessments are fanciful), "recover all the kai/meat" cult's ineffective ability, pests have thrived. Rec hunting has been a problem in most places due to that attitude. The Save the thar & anti 1080 stickers on k hunters vehicles show what is within. The country being over-run with damaging pests most places not subject to specific pest control operations, and some with them. Competent shooting does have a highly significant place, as does open fee free recreational hunting. Without block systems (different from restricted access like the Thar wilderness zones landing sites), which have little practical merit apart from pest protection.

Haha o yes they were! Bloody steep

@spoonheadmusic thanks! Yeah that can be a bloody mission. Land marks are key, but even still, everything looks different when you get up there!

@@ChasetheWildNZ haha totally! I use a combination of photos from my phone of the location and landmarks, putting some pins on NZTopo50 and then if possible someone acting as a spotter. Which is why when hunting solo I stick with the closer range stuff. Plus I don't come close to shooting as accurately as that!

@spoonheadmusic yes I've found dropping a pin on NZ topo to be fairly accurate if you use angle compensated range to drop the pin. (Nztopo is 2d) I'm sure with practice you'd be smashing these shots.

@@ChasetheWildNZ The number of animals limping around due to not being able to smash such shots wouldn't make some swoon in awe. It's likely much film isn't shown widely. Or much from a lot closer. Many can't shoot consistently at 100m. And have seen a few long-range specialists miss at short range. But when on it's spectacular, and seeing someone shooting several is refreshing, especially without the preaching about harvest and ethics.

@johnmead8437 yes indeed. I've also seen many long range shooters miss at close range. The bread and butter shots should be easy.. however mistakes happen, I missed a wallaby at 100y the other day by not remembering to dial down after the shot before. Best we can do it try keep sharp and know our limits. Ppl certainly need to take more animals in NZ. Numbers are getting high and DOC will just shot them and leave them on the hill

@kylaklintworth4238 yes! Soo very blessed to have this at our doorsteps

@rohanguise5178 no it's off the waimak

@bertcremers3134 thank you. Pushing the limits a little but I have a lot of practice and good gear behind me.

@@ChasetheWildNZ you can say that for shure. Verry good of you to dry fire a couple of times. Of cause I subscribed

@bertcremers3134 much appreciated!! It all helps

@@ChasetheWildNZ Well deserved 🌿

@jennyosborne6571 feeding the family with free range meat . Also here in NZ they are invasive pest that the government is paying millions to reduce the numbers. We have zero predators here so without control they eat all our native habitat

@@haydenboag7305 thank you. It's an m700 action. Nz made trueflight barrel in 7mm rem mag. Nz made precision platforms stock. Element optics nexus on top
