Wow what a fantastic video. So generous with your knowledge. By far one of the most interesting hunting videos I’ve seen

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you. I hope to post some more.

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Mate you are a legend. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@johnmac6226]

Peter you’re an absolute legend. I really hope people understand how much knowledge you have and how willing you are to share it. KZbin needs this to be the top result in the algorithm if anyone searches for Sambar. This man has forgotten more about Sambar than the average hunter ever learns. Look forward to seeing you again. 💚 John McCabe

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you John. Knowledge deserves to be shared.

[@S_A_W23]

Hands down the most informative video I’ve watched, the dedication in making this video alone just shows how all these hints and tips come from years of personal dedication and experience hunting with boots on the ground. 👍🏼🇦🇺

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you.

[@MountainMan_NZ]

Most informative, constructive and practical demonstration of how to piece the puzzle together. Really enjoyable. This is a must watch for not just New hunters but a brilliant refresher for experienced hunters! 10/10, loved n subbed 😊

[@theoviolaris5018]

Thank you so much for this amazing video..appreciate you sharing your years of knowledge and experience

[@tomlewis7757]

Phenomenal video with an incredible amount of info. It does go for 1½ hours but I was stopping rewinding, trying to absorb all the new things. Lots and lots of great Intel with stuff all waffling. Great job

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you, Tom.

[@BoltImpact]

Awesome video great tips and you definitely are a wealth of knowledge. I’m yet to secure my first and wish I could find open country like this. Cheers for a great upload

[@brendanrorison1166]

Brilliant stuff mate. Appreciate the time you took to put this all together and for sharing your vast knowledge. As an aspiring Sambar admirer/hunter from over in South Australia, this is easily some of the best stuff I've seen. Awesome.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

I hope you get some positive benefit from this.

[@Haphazard_Cyclist]

Peter, i wanted the thank you for going to all the effort to make this video. This is comprehensively the single best resource i have found to assist my young fella’s education. He’s not interested in listening to me much - but absolutely related your explanations to his lived experience. Stutters an stammers be buggered, thank you!

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you Greg.

[@thehuntersministry]

Mate, I was glad to scroll along and find this pop up and see that it was 1.5hrs long . I knew it was going to be good. Really appreciate your efforts. I've hunted them 20yrs and I've found a hand full of little things you've said that I hadn't thought of or picked up on. Great stuff thanks a lot. I'll be watching it a few more times yet, simple and educational, even a bit of humour🎉😅

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you, it was never meant to be 1.5 hrs. I got a bit carried away.

[@thehuntersministry]

Nah mate its a great way to relax and just listen to a good bit of info for a while, Well done

[@SamsHuntandCook]

Great video mate! Definitely would be a great watch for a hunter fresh to the scene. I've been hunting them for 4 years and picked up some useful tips myself. Cheers! 😁

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Glad you liked it.

[@glidee_mc_glide_face-mz7si]

wow so much. good information particularly for complete beginners like myself that have no clue of how to identify deer sign. Thank you!

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you and good luck with your hunting.

[@techangler]

Great job. Well done.

[@whatsmynamestevestevesteve2216]

Incredible video mate. Thank you. This is exactly the kind of video new hunters need. Easily the best Samba hunting introduction video out there.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you for the compliment. It was one way to fill in covid.

[@user-ef4cu5qr9h]

This is great content, Thank You.

[@tyronenebel3661]

Great video, and thanks for taking the time to put it all together

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

My pleasure!

[@CarrMichaelQuitay]

What an absolutely brilliant video mate! I'm a novice at deer hunting, recently got into it in the past couple months. I hunt varmints but deer is a whole different kettle of fish that's for sure! I went to Mansfield area during the Anzac long weekend and through to Jamieson but no luck due to lack of knowledge on my part. Didn't do research prior the trip but I definitely learnt a lot just by being out there and experiencing and exploring the area. I would love to if in the near coming few months to see if I could join you on your trips and learn from a veteran like yourself! Other than that, lovely video and very very informative! I have picked up a lot of important information from this video itself! Keep it up mate!

[@denniswells9340]

That’s got to be some of the best advice out there. Thanks for sharing and keen to see what’s next.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you, more in the pipeline.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

[@petermorse5442]

Brilliant. Thank you. About to leave for my first sambar hunt.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

I've just returned, so you may have already gone on your first sambar hunt. Good luck! But I will warn you sambar hunting can be addictive.

[@glenharry9463]

[@rayisarin3793]

Watched a lot of videos on KZbin best bit of information I have ever seen regarding Sambar thanks

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you, more in the pipeline. I hope I can match it!

[@highcountryrob5534]

G’day Peter,I was getting my standard KZbin Sambar Fix tonight and I luckily stumbled across your channel.What a fantastic,informative presentation on being able to find deer sign and decipher what it all means.Hunters both young and old will benefit greatly learning from your many years of hunting Sambar in Victoria.I hope that more senior Sambar hunters will have the opportunity to pass on their vast knowledge for the benefit of the next generation of ethical hunters.Much respect,Rob A.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you Rob, I also hope more hunters pass on their knowledge. When I was a young hunter, I was fortunate enough to be set a good example about the value of deer knowledge. Passing it on is better than taking it to the grave. Good hunting Rob.

[@highcountryrob5534]

Funny you say that Peter.I’m currently passing on some of my knowledge to my daughter and my nephew about the fine art of all things Sambar/deer,bush craft and 4WDing.It’s a very rewarding experience for me.Cheers,Rob.

[@hugorugge6189]

Best VDO on Sambar signs. Wish I watched this one week earlier. 🤘

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

You can blame me, I didn't press the button until 3 days ago.

[@onthemark3480]

Thanks for your effort on this Pete! Had a great time with you and the fellas out at the hut a few years back, some fond memories.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thats the key, having a great time. Cheers.

[@garytrigg-graynoth4034]

[@101peligroso]

I cant thank you enough for the time you have taken to share this. I have really learnt some valuable information. I never thought I would have enjoyed looking at $hit for so long :)

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you, as for the $hit I wish it was worth $.

[@JB-yp6bd]

Awesome video peter, absolutely loved it and increased my knowledge, even made me interpret sign id seen on previous trips in a different light. thank you very much.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you and good hunting.

[@experienceoutdoors6279]

Great video mate! As time goes on the youths getting into hunting is declining and alot isn't our fault but some hunters not willing to help and share knowledge/location is adding to the issue. This is what we need modern times a nice informative video will attract young and old to your channel and video Thank you wish I had this when I first started took me 3 years to shot my first I honestly think had I bought the "sambar secrets" books then or had something like this to watch I'd have done it the first.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

I wish I had something like this when I started out also. It was one of the motivations. Knowledge is the sambar hunter's edge.

[@BabaHunts]

Peter, great video! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

We'll never know it all! (Wish I did.)

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Learning about sambar is a never-ending journey.

[@flex90z_____]

Love the video ❤

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

Thank you!!

[@dtomic17]

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge this is very informative and valuable information for a newbie like me * 3 years in so far and I still feel like I am only beginning.* could I ask you to show us how you scout our areas and what to look for on google maps, earth, terrains etc. I feel like the biggest obstacle is finding quality areas! Thank you

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

A video about selecting an area to hunt is on my list. A very long list I may add. However, there is no short cut to finding good country, especially for stalking. This is where recognizing sambar sign plays a significant role. Once we understand sign interpretation it helps us recognize good sambar country. It helps us understand deer numbers without seeing deer. From a stalking perspective, I try to hunt country with good to reasonable visibility. 100 meters is a good yard stick for a bush stalker. But even a good area is highly variable. If you can't see them, you can't shoot them. Google maps is useful, but it can be misleading.

[@dtomic17]

@@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq you have a very good way of teaching and hence I think you will excel in your videos. The issue I have been facing is finding area with decent open planes to glass or look through. Most places are very thick or steep that I have tackled. I find plenty of sign and get honked, but just cannot execute a visual or a shot. I find it sometimes difficult to understand where these other youtubers find all these good open land that is not private 😅 with all these deer's running around openly.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

The is some remarkable footage on KZbin especially from the high country in the Alpine Park. But there are also a lot of videos where deer are not seen or taken. Just like fishing, there are red letter days but there's more black days. I'm not a big fan of very open country. If you are getting honked at a lot, it's because the deer is seeing you first. Most sambar stalkers move to fast, 400 meters an hour is about right for me, and I still get busted more than I would like! Sambar hunting is a long apprenticeship and there are no Master tickets. Just like super glue, stick with it.

[@eddie8017]

Thank you so much for putting the effort into making this video for us. just a question, if I find all these signs and tracks that were shown in the video should I sit and wait or is it best to continue walking and looking for the deer from your personal experience

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

With sambar, I would not be inclined to sit and wait unless the sign was very concentrated and indicated an area of heavy usage by sambar. Such as crops or pasture that was consistently attracting sambar. I am inclined to keep looking for the deer in the general area where sign is present at a very slow pace. However, other deer like hog deer are a better sit and wait option.

[@thedodger7030]

"There are only two sexes" youll be in trouble on KZbin if you keep up those outrageously provocative statements 🤪 Great presentation, so much to observe.

[@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq]

I am tempted to laugh. Thank you for the compliment.
