Confirming the Reconnaissance

[@patrickoberem9109]

Some days are like that..... Enjoyed the adventure. Wish I could roam the hills of NZ....

[@waikarimoana]

Great trip Rogee and as you know it is all part of hunting, good or not so good brother, thanks for the trip, thumbs up, kia ora to you and brother Matty,,, Tony.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother, appreciate the supportive comments and feedback!

[@richardborrell6604]

Once again Rogee, a great vid with good learns, who would have thought sun strike would Fark you over, still got be good just being out there doing it ! Thanks for taking us all along for the mission.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers Rich, bloody sunstrike🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😉😁

[@Elfin4]

Better than a day at work any day and still good to watch. Stay safe until the next time. Dont forget to get the fly rods out also, not sure when the season is in NZ.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother....winter fly-fishing is upon us here in NZ

[@outthereindustries7413]

Mean mission, thanks for all the great videos!

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother and you are welcome!👌🤙🏽

[@1mykah]

Yea boi, thanks for the upload my bro. Time to enjoy!!!

[@rogeeproductions2509]

There he is!!!...chur bo🤙🏽

[@LiquidColourDesignBallycarry]

Happens to us all at some point, the stalking gods don't always look after us this is what makes it so great when the sun shines well for us... Again great video Rogee :-)

[@rogeeproductions2509]

100% brother👌

[@ReggieArcade]

Can be hard leaving empty handed although - your editing is getting sick and the soundtracks recently are so on point. Your videos are getting a real cool feel to them with the tunes and story telling. Makes them really pleasant viewing

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers Reggie really appreciate that feedback brother🤙🏽

[@cato7669]

Better to have missed than to have stayed at home!! Being out theres half the fun 🤙🙌🦌💥

[@rogeeproductions2509]

100% brother👌👌👌

[@gavinbowmer4194]

As usual you've provided us with another informative interlude to ponder. I've been meaning to ask you, what's happened to the Big O, Owen. Haven't seen him for a while, is he OK?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers Gav, the Big O has a very busy familiy now. He pretty much just sticks to private land hunts which allows him to take the kids.

[@dkcorderoyximenez3382]

At least you confirmed the Recon...the 576 was ever so close given the windhold variance... It's early winter...lots of venison coming your way soon...Cheers...

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Roger that brother😉👌🤙🏽

[@NZPUBLICLAND]

Awesome video.. look like that sunset very bright light straight to your scopes

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother...yup sunstrike not good!

[@tewaewae]

good to see even in the disappointment of a missed shot you both check status. Looking forward to more vids as the days lengthen.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother...safety first...ironically I was part a thread where a hunter tried to justified putting his hands over the top of his rifle muzzle while leaning on it like a walking stick!! We have long way to go with gun safety if hunters think thats a good practice. But I'll keep advocating safe firearm practice coz every bit helps. Yeah definitely looking forward to the next few months of hunting 👌

[@tewaewae]

@@rogeeproductions2509 yep, good that people are holding their peers accountable. That's progress. 👏👏

[@aussieredneck818]

Always enjoy your videos. Were you boys planting corn in front of that deer. 😂 So you boys are human. Was that a rare frog I heard. 🤪 Was in NZ last week myself for a winter wildness Tahr hunt. Mission was a success. Flew out early and was wondering why things were close on Friday. 👍 You kiwis have something special over your side of the ditch.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother, always appreciate your inciteful feedback: A. No corn in front of that deer just acouple of stray projectiles🤦‍♂️ A. Hansome Humans we are😉😂 A. That was the very rare "Roaring Bum" Bull frog that lives in Matty's underpants🤢😂 Glad you had a successful mission down South.....and yes we are very spolit for hunting choice in this wonderful Country!!!

[@MarkGoss-zs7yt]

Great vid as per normal. Used to camp exactly same spot. used to be a lot more deer there too.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Thanks Mark🤙🏽

[@jcompton4]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Always next time, and I will watch regardless of outcome!

[@rogeeproductions2509]

100% brother...appreciate the continued support👌🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@kbar193-9]

Do this, and you will never miss another shot opportunity because of glare. Ḍrill an 11-12mm hole in your scope cap and cover the inside of the hole with a piece of electrical tape. If you flip the cap up and you can't see, pull tape off, flip the cap back down, and you will be able to see thru the hole. Works better than any sunshade! Just a quick tip from a Yank who loves watching your videos.

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers brother great tip...I might just settle for doing my Recons properly and factoring in sunrise and sunset😉👌🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Hey brother, do you ever see goats in said reserve... I hunt it regularly and haven't seen any but have been told there's a few knocking around

Nice Kiwi sunshine

Roger that👍

[@simonroff8733]

What’s your procedure with rifle cleaning and are you one to foul your bore pre hunt?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

I keep my rifle in a semi fouled state only cleaning once it impacts my groups, thats a full copper clean, carbon clean it after every 20 rounds or so

[@peaceryder-mcintosh5354]

How far was the shot ?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Always love your content thank you. I’m interested in why you don’t seem to use the Fluro camouflage gear?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

Cheers Caleb, theres no requirement to wear fluro camo over here, so we dont

[@calebstanden8380]

Ha! I’m a kiwi but not an experienced hunter. You’re obviously very safety conscious, so I was just curious as to why you don’t take advantage of the safety benefits of fluro? Is it not as safe as I assume?

[@rogeeproductions2509]

@@calebstanden8380 Yeah, the fluro thing is not me...maybe stems back to my military days. I can understand in the roar but not for the type hunting we do
