Thanks mate

[@BoltActionProductions]

Never easy losing a good mate😒. I'm sure he's looking down from above😇. Nice work boys👍.

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks for the feedback mate!

[@justme.9711]

What do you guys think the skins weight, fresh from the deer?

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Must be about 10kgs for a wet shoulder mount skin. I could be a bit off but they are heavy!

[@mchughcb]

300 Rum check Swaro DS check Kuiu gear check Swaro spotter check Fresh water - doh! 4 stags in 8 days was good going. The problem taking heads in the plane is when the tynes punch through the plastic bag. 😂

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Sounds a bit like we have all the gear but no idea!

[@mchughcb]

@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING nobody pops them at that range without some idea. Well done.

[@adrianisbill9722]

Awesome trip lads. How do you find the MSA vs the Kuiu tents?

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

I’m running a bushbuck tent (that’s the orange and grey one) and I like it, especially for the price. Haven’t experienced any terrible weather in it yet. My mate has a kuiu and loves it.

[@Jphillips47]

Lovely work lads. What area in the high country

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks for the feedback. Alpine mate

[@Jphillips47]

Haha cheers

[@Drew-kv8rg]

Wow 5 nice bucks, how much meat did you harvest?

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thank you. As much as we could carry out with us!

[@pauljay1328]

Cheers to your mate

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks mate

[@MegaElkaholic]

A stag to far??good stuff.

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks mate!

[@petersweetman5245]

Pretty good up until the last shot 700 metres is way to far you can tell by the reaction it's a fluke most people can't shoot that far and shouldn't every cartridge has less energy that far out and we all should have respect for the game to try for a quick hopefully one shot kill, you should try getting closer...It's called HUNTING

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks for the feedback mate, we appreciate it! We do practice out to 1000 m for these situations but obviously it didn’t work out this time as the shot hit high. The reaction is because he’s just shot the biggest stag of his life.

[@petersweetman5245]

Ok but like I said respect for the No1 game animal, at ranges say 500 to 1000 metres you can’t guarantee shot placement with less energy, as in your clip it run and all of you couldn’t find it. Could you return later to search for the stag if so good luck 👍

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

We hope to return asap to have another look! We had to make it back for the ferry to Tasmania, otherwise we would have kept searching.

[@paulcox9366]

Good video but yer nar on the long range hunting. I saw a comment you practice out to 1000m . At that distance U got no idea of wind inbetween you and the animal. Not for me but good luck for the future

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

Thanks for the comment. There was no wind that evening, there was fog sitting still through the valley. We honestly wouldn’t take a shot at that distance if there was much wind, we had a kestrel but like you said, often hard to judge wind across a valley.

[@T.J-and-Soul]

You should have a German Wire Haired Pointer with you, instead of just taking pot shots.

[@HIGHLANDBOYSHUNTING]

It wouldn’t call it a pot shot, we hit it in the chest
