Back Country Buck - A Fallow Deer Hunt in New South Wales

Was fortunate to have access to some rough forested hill country for the 2023 fallow rut. It was a challenge though with only intermittent croaking, and lower numbers of deer. Sticking it out was worth it, and time spent in the bush made the success so sweet. Blessed with natural good times.

I found your channel like 3 weeks ago and I love the way you present your videos. It's just as if I was with a mate that was taking me out to a new spot showing me the land. I've learned a lot from you and i'd love to repay the favour. if youre ever in vic high country again let me know, id love to tee up a group hunt. all the best mate!

Majorly impressed with your ability to solo hunt and film at the same time. Beautiful deer!

[@rodgeorge7244]

Fantastic hunt Alex and a great result in the end a beautiful Buck ,and well done on ignoring those pesky goats they can be a god send when you're hungry and a pain in the arse when you are after bigger prey but you made every base count and good on you.

Went on my first stalk last weekend, your videos have been so helpful mate thanks.

Just got home and up pops Profty. Perfect!! Got some Mavens a few years ago and love them in the 10 x 42. Thanks again mate for your content.

[@intricatexploration]

Such a legend Proft, great vid man 👌

[@johnny8515]

Great video as always! Been shooting all my life but never been into Deer hunting. In particular Sambar hunting in the Vic high country. Got my first hind last week which has made it’s way into my freezer and soon onto my dinner plate. Been trying to decide between 8x42 and 10x42 for glassing in the high country. My instincts are telling me to go for the 8x42 because of the obvious advantages for the purpose I’m using them for. For those wondering I’m looking at the Leupold bx-2 alpine hd. Would like to hear what people have to say. Much appreciated

[@snoop2477]

Congrats, what a magnificent animal

Great video mate love it. Little advice you shouldn't blow air from your mouth into those insulated ground mats, it can cause them to get moisture and get mold on the inside.

[@THEKILLSHOT98]

odd question mate but what size tarp are you using as a shelter just over bulky gazebo frames that get damaged so easily cheers awesome hunt swell been watching you for years

[@aussieredneck818]

As most people are saying your passion is second to none. Only a hunter knows that feeling of yes I got one, but then the saddest of taking that animal. Then u get to share the great tasting animal with your friends and family. Another great video Alex

[@daste1263]

How do you cook the rut meat? We try to avoid hunting males in the weeks leading up to and trailing the rut due to meat spoilage but still managed to shoot a big stag going into an early rut last year. It's not as rancid as some meat I've had, but there's still a heavy gamy taste to it. I noticed you harvested a bunch of cuts off this animal so am curious if you have any suggestions.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

[@ChasinFreedom]

Nice buck mate, made ya earn it to Is that a different rifle to your 7mm08 ? Cheers

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Same rifle mate, just borrowed a mates stock to try it out for a bit

[@MegaElkaholic]

Mate you need to get some light weight game meat bags help keep meat clean and flies off,breathable ones.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Normally have plenty but was dumb enough to forget to launder them the day before leaving. Meat was fine though, a really mild taste

[@andrewking8466]

Nice hunt there. Long time watcher first time poster. 2 questions, I’m from Sunshine Coast and want to know if you’ve hunted northern NSW? Do you know what are the deer numbers are like....I’ve done some trips down Glenn Innes and a bit further south, without any deer on the ground. Due to the long drive, and work, it’s only 2 or 3, 4-5 day trips a year. Somewhere a bit closer would allow some 2 nights or quick over nighters. Still a green horn so would love to get some more boot time on the ground. Deer aplenty in the hills here but a state government that won’t introduce hunting in my life time I’m afraid. Good hunting for “poachers”. Oh and what’s your tent and blow up mat? Ok that’s 4 questions.

[@jezza79]

that billy would be fair game if you weren't on a mission

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Very very similar country to my place mate, same with pigs and goats as well. We don't have the grass trees tho. Excellent video! He had a big set on him, but not too big in the body? You seemed to drag him OK - my recent needed two of us. I wanted to ask about the gun stock - is it a composite or just painted green? cheers Profty!

[@AussieBushHarvest]

It’s a fibre glass stock that’s been painted by a mate. Just borrowing it to see how I like it

[@Bezalel_Projects]

Thanks again for a awesome video! What are your thoughts on the mavens? Similar to you ive been using entry level binos and thinking about upgrading. Did you notice a helpful difference? Cheers 🍻

[@AussieBushHarvest]

It’s a massive difference, mind you getting any binos with larger objective lenses will offer a massive step up, will be curious to compare 10x42s with my old vortexs

[@tristancole6752]

What rifle are you using

[@1515acdcrocks]

New rifle?

[@petermoore6251]

Hi Profty Did you like the 10x50 bino's or do you still prefer 8x42 ?

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Hey Peter, yes I really like the 10x50s and I’ll be sticking with them

[@petermoore6251]

@@AussieBushHarvest Thanks for your reply mate, I've just passed my R licence and can't wait to go hunting. I've hunted a lot in NZ but was hesitant to hunt in Aus because of snakes. Anyway I'll get into it shortly. Thanks Profty, love your enthusiasm, and videos.

Need some help in Vic- Inquiry into Victoria's Recreational Native Bird Hunting Arrangements

[@AussieBushHarvest]

Did a promotion last week drawing light to the Endless Pursuit, they’re offering a raffle setup, anyone who sends a receipt of a $25 plus donation to the field and game fighting fund to them is in the draw to either win a fallow hunt in nsw or a duck hunt. And hand carved decoys on offer too 🤙 check out the endless pursuit on fb

[@AussieBushHarvest]

But also submissions to the enquiry close on May 8th, I encourage everyone to submit even a few sentences, easy google search will find “Victoria duck hunting submissions” a Vic parliamentary webpage

[@petermoore6251]

Great stuff Alex Love your videos. I feel like I'm right beside you. Bloody awesome, Cheers.
