I haven’t been sambar hunting for a long time so this video has refreshed my mind in what I should do and look for so thanks for a great and informative video 👍🏻

[@dropbearknives4831]

Excellent tutorial, some great advice for beginners. Thanks for sharing your own experience and knowledge. When that deer honked it caught me by surprise too, I'll now know what to listen for.

[@jaybeatty7854]

Great advice mate! Took my first Fallow deer about a month ago with my compound bow. Felt like I just got lucky but now I feel like I have a plan. Still so much to learn and so much meat to harvest.

[@jajahgadis]

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Can't wait to get out there looking for these beautiful things.

My number one rule is keep an eye out for Yowies. Especially up in the Yarra Ranges after dark.
