FINALLY!!!! A big old fallow buck on the ground…

I miss out by a matter of days with getting one in velvet, but was still super pumped to get an arrow in this big old buck.

[@the_bingsman]

An absolute LIFTER!! Massive congrats mate. Being colour blind and tracking him down is bloody unreal. It's pretty bloody cool we get to share this moment with you. Good hunting!

[@huntlife7867]

Thanks mate.

[@kroadie3936]

Many late nights early mornings pays off good stalking and great hunt. Thank you.

[@mattmerrickvideographywalk3105]

Great depiction of the hunt and the feelings for a good stalk! Getting the shakes is the best part of hunting. Good respect for the animal waiting it out and tracking mate even tho colour blind 👍.

Thanks mate

That’s sweet buck, good work!

[@ianross7150]

Congratulations on a great buck and thanks for sharing your experience. I think the choppers have had a 100% success in my area, I haven't seen a red or fallow for months. Hopefully have some luck with my son in law in the mid west of NSW. I'm colourblind to, as well as being blind in one eye, it can be a challenge.

[@huntlife7867]

Definitely mate. I’ve always struggled on blood. I’m ok if it’s fresh and still wet, I’ll see it in places. Once it’s dry I’m stuffed. Yep choppers are a pain. On a good note they are pushing the deer all over the place by doing it. Deer piping up where I’ve never seen them now.

[@timbow50]

That is one really nice buck. Lots of character. Proof again how tough animals can be even with what looks like a great hit. Heck of a tracking job. My son is color blind &has a tough time tracking too. I’ve seen bucks hit perfectly run off and not found but there they are on camera pics two days later like nothing ever happened.

[@huntlife7867]

Not wrong mate I’ve lost a few fallow to what I thought were perfect hits. Then seen the a few weeks later like nothing happened.

[@kenkones2588]

Love your videos mate .great buck glad you found him . Do the chopper guys not use the meat is just left . What part if Australia are you I spent a year traveling in 93 live your country. Keep filming mate 👍

[@huntlife7867]

Na mate they just shoot them and leave them behind.

Good luck with them mate. Perfect year to find a big boy.

[@leonhein997]

I have never seen you so excited with a shot. We'll done

[@huntlife7867]

Thanks mate

[@granterisir8808]

Congratulations on finally getting one! Glad the choppers didn’t smash ‘‘em too bad, instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on a chopper, they should just pay you for it… and give you an offsider who’s good at spotting blood and finding arrows!😂

[@huntlife7867]

Haha thanks mate

[@chriis_86]

You bloody enjoyed that. Well done mate

[@chriis_86]

You walked over the arrow the first time up

That’s exactly what it’s all about cheers 💪💪👍

[@huntlife7867]

Thanks mate.

[@nathanzahl1091]

Awesome buck!! Quick question is their no commercial market for deer their? Obviously the property owner wants to reduce numbers and you want them to breed😂 but why not commercially hunt them reduce numbers a bit. And money in your pocket not lying on the ground.

[@huntlife7867]

Yeah mate there’s a commercial market here. I actually run the chillers. I normally do between 300 and 400 every year.

[@digzydoogan4932]

Fuck yeah ✊🏼 Awesome i was on that roller coaster with u for a bit..

[@huntlife7867]

Haha thanks mate.

[@ChasingGiants23]

#HOYTLIFE WOW. next level. This is a fallow hunters version of PORN. Stalking a buck of that calibre before they start croaking is just wild. Big Congrats

[@huntlife7867]

Cheers mate appreciate it

[@jezza7615]

Hey mate, just wondering what you use for your footage especially the zoom footage with the mechanical sound in it? Cheers

[@huntlife7867]

Sony rx10 mate. It should make that sound. I think she’s been in the rain too many times

[@JOB107]

Great stuff mate, Have the choppers been back since that was filmed? they have been giving the range down here a pizziling, it sounds like world war 3, I hope they miss a few. cheers

[@huntlife7867]

They haven’t been back yet mate. Apparently they will be though.

[@lancejensen7737]

Hey mate whats the go with the choppers? Does the land owner decide he wants them to come in and lower the numbers or is it the council?

[@huntlife7867]

It’s a free shoot organized by the LLS. The land holders can say no. But being free most jump on board with it

[@thomasegan2496]

Thought of running rage no collars? Can tell you’re comfortable landing a good shot, might help your blood trails?

[@huntlife7867]

Not a huge fan of expandable heads to be honest mate. Had a few bad runs with them.

[@thomasegan2496]

Same here mate ozcuts on nexxus infinity 300s are all I use normally but tried rage no collars over the last year, had nothing but good things to say about it to be honest. Yet to have an issue, they don’t fly open mid flight like the old ones used to. Main thing for me is massive blood trails

[@huntlife7867]

Yeah ok. Might look into them. Cheers

[@thomasegan2496]

No dramas mate, keep up the good work on the channel 🤙🏼🍻

[@fourhourswest2164]

Can you do a gear run down? maybe some target practise?

[@huntlife7867]

Will do one soon mate.
