Great vid! Lots of laughs along the way and some meat for the table. Too much

[@BushEscape]

Thanks Tyrone, much appreciated mate 👍

[@pearsegatley5407]

Thats one lucky spiker! Bet that hinds gonna be tasty eating 😉

[@BushEscape]

Hey Pearse, yep he was lucky, not so for the hind though 😉, super tender. Cheers buddy.

[@nzmeateater]

Not sure what that sound is, who knows ? Cool vid Phil, 👍

[@BushEscape]

Yeah it's a bit hardcase aye Fred, thanks for your support mate.

[@davinwelsh2210]

Great video 👍 cheers guys... Also, maybe young kiwi sounds?

[@BushEscape]

I have heard adult kiwis in the area so I guess that's a possibility 🤔 aye. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@katypage7706]

Great video, maybe kiwis calling at night

[@BushEscape]

Thanks Katy, it's not the typical call of a kiwi, but I guess you can't rule it out, surely they all don't sound the same aye. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@ClintonRebeccaAvery]

Great vid guys. Gutted about the miss. That call is from Weka. I recognise where you are and was wondering the exact same thing one night I was staying up there. It got the better of me so I tracked one down. Found one hiding in the grass up on the top there. 100% weka. Don’t know what the call is exactly though.

[@BushEscape]

Hi Clinton, I was hoping you may have heard it and would comment. Seems like the mystery is solved. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍. (& not giving away the location)

[@ClintonRebeccaAvery]

@@BushEscape haha When there is a productive spot like that it’s best not to share it with to many people 😜. When I first heard the call, it was way off in the distance and my first thought was a lost dog howling. Then they all started so it eliminated that as an option (or there was a lot of lost dogs haha). A few trips later I decided I had to try find out what it was. They only do it at night and from all the places I go, seem to only be around that area. Again what the call is exactly I can’t answer that.

[@BushEscape]

Absolutely, I've been hunting that area for 15 odd years, probably twice a year or less (not into thrashing it). I too thought it was a dog but the sound seemed to follow us all the way to campsite, oh well it is what it is... ps. Might see in you in there one day, pss subbed you 👍

[@marcuscoley4386]

Always good times, always a great watch. Did that hind have 2 holes it in, look like that first shot get connect. 👍

[@BushEscape]

Hi Marcus, thanks appreciate your feedback and glad you like them. No just one entry and exit, it did look like it aye, but if you freeze frame just before impact you'll see it drops low and forward. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍

[@joshcoombridge6530]

Maybe send the footage of the bird sound through to Te Papa? I know they are super helpful with fish IDs and they may be able to identify? Great video again cheers 👍

[@BushEscape]

That's great advise Josh, I may give that a crack. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍

[@Browni2728]

In the frame ,yes 😅, cool to see bullet flight

[@BushEscape]

Lol gold aye mate. I don't have slow mo on this camera but must of been the angle of light reflecting on the bullet, yep very cool. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@kroadie3936]

With the results of a great day on the hill ,was it a grey warbler bird noise.

[@BushEscape]

Thanks kroadie, yeah very happy to land a good eating animal. No I don't believe it to be warbler, the closest I've managed to find online is actually a Petrol (sea bird) but still not 100% certain. Cheers for watching mate 👍

[@huntnheads7945]

Interesting bird sound, i thought sort of sounded magpie ish??

[@BushEscape]

Very interesting aye, was definitely only nocturnal, maybe it's mimicking other birds??. Cheers for your comment mate.

[@exNZFS]

Kaka can make similar sounds most people associate them with the raucous screech but they are quite a musical bird but who knows?

[@BushEscape]

Interesting, I definitely only associate them with that screeching sound 😆. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@johnscullin2327]

were you by a stream,just watched another video and heard whio,sounded like some of the calls in your vid

[@BushEscape]

Hi John, no we're along way from a stream, but another person has made a similar suggestion. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@charleshunting]

What brand is the tripod? Looks like a good one? 😅

[@charleshunting]

Great vid boys, loved every moment of it.

[@BushEscape]

Thanks mate, really appreciate it 👍

[@tewai3031]

Sounds like a dog howling

[@BushEscape]

Yes I agree, more dog like than bird, but I heard it 6 months ago, so I'm sure it couldn't be a dog. But thanks heaps tewai taking the time to comment, really appreciate it 👍

[@karlkenney1596]

😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ mean video team

[@BushEscape]

😆 🤣 😂 you know us mate, laughing at anything and everything 🤣 😂. Glad you got a laugh. Thanks for your support Karl.

[@GeoffreyBublitz-qb1mt]

Sounds like a dog but there is a kiwi in the background to

[@BushEscape]

It definitely sounds dog/whimpering puppy, but I'm sure if it was it would venture into campsite, ps. That other sound was actually a Weka, they sound the same as Kiwi but their call duration is shorter, (apparently) thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@robertdavy8522]

First soft low sound is a kaka...second screech sound is a weka mate.

[@BushEscape]

Thanks Robert, yep definitely recognized the weka, interesting re the kaka, I've never seen any in there before but I'll be paying more than the usual attention to them next time. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@jamessinclair5168]

That's the wherdafukarewi bird

[@BushEscape]

😆 🤣 😂 that's what it is for sure!! Classic comment mate, gold. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍

[@johnscullin2327]

the vid i watched was-hunting new zealand with jade[jb wild]

[@BushEscape]

Thanks John, I'll watch that episode, compare and let you know

[@BushEscape]

Hey John, just watched that episode, (good little father/daughter vid), quite a different sound to whio mate, so I think the jury's still out on it, for now anyway. Cheers again mate 👍

[@fishmainia6394]

I think its actually a kiwi I maybe wrong

[@BushEscape]

Hard one aye, I'm with you, I can only guess too. Appreciate your comment mate 👍

[@fishmainia6394]

@@BushEscape they can be quite vocal & seem to have a long Play list

[@BushEscape]

"Long play list". I like that one 👍

[@TaaneKing]

thats a mutton bird

[@BushEscape]

Ahhh really, that'd be why I never recognized the sound. Thanks for that Taane, 👍👍
