Good video of the stags in the bush, it's not easy often. Getting fussy about what is shot is personal choice, and a big young one can still be a good trophy. They can be big animals. Pointing & any sudden movement etc when they are close draws attention, they seem to be able to see further in the bush than the average hunter, even the tame ones.

Nice video! Great dynamic with you and the old man. Any Dad would be stoked to be able to go on adventures like that with their daughter. Those sand flies though😂

[@lucynilson]

Thank you! Pretty lucky to be able to head out with him. Ahah yes the sandflies, they are certainly a challenge at times!!

[@BackridgeButcher]

Wicked Lucy, hardest adventure in NZ. Hopefully you guys win another ballot going forward, memory's for a lifetime!! Cheers team BRB

[@lucynilson]

Thank you! Was an awesome trip, didn’t want to leave. Yes fingers crossed for 2025.

[@pietgeursen7023]

You and your dad seem like great mates, it's very wholesome. Those sandflies though...

[@lucynilson]

Yup we are! Yeah you do kinda get use to them after a bit!

[@tonystewart7287]

Great trip with your Dad, it’s not always about shooting an animal, some neat footage 😎😎👍

[@lucynilson]

Is a bonus if you get to pull the trigger! Was great to get those close encounters. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philipevans4219]

great watch Lucy, great fun

[@lucynilson]

Thanks Uncle Phil glad you enjoyed it!

[@craigmckenzie384]

Think of the extra protein you get from all the sandflies! Great video

[@lucynilson]

That’s just it!

[@dukaynz]

Great video on the upside rain can at times slow the sandflys down marginally.

[@lucynilson]

That’s just it! Sunny days can be tough going with the sandflies

[@gw5436]

We are SOOOO jealous of you guys in NZ... your people are true hunters and tough as nails outdoors people. From an envious Aus deer farmer.

[@lucynilson]

We are very lucky to have everything on our back door that’s for sure! I think we can all take it a bit for granted at times. Thanks for watching 👏🏼

[@astondriver]

had the same issue with my bolt lock. I put the bolt into the loop and twisted until it pulled the wire out of the lock

[@lucynilson]

Pain hey! At least you got it sorted

[@jasonhoyle2414]

well done team...yep she certainly looked to be one of the tougher blocks for hunting and combined with the weather terrain and those sandies can make it tough going...hmmm Benjamin...I reckon your hearing is about as good as mine(shite) good stuff anyways

[@lucynilson]

Thanks uncle Jason! Was an awesome trip
