Great presentation! Your techniques and experience result in a low stress environment for these beautiful animals. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have hunted elk for the last decade. They are incredible animals and it is great to see how you Kiwi's keep the animals health and welfare front and center. Would love to come down to the South Island for a Red Stag hunt some day. Cheers!

I didn't know that there were elk in New Zealand. Wapiti is a Native American name given to elk it means "white rump". Are these wild or farmed elk?
@johnmead84372 жыл бұрын
There is a wild herd in Fiordland, plus a few in other places hunters have illegally released. Even though the numbers of wild deer are surging due to the average hunters being unable to contribute to control.

That is an amazing relationship you have with those big guys. The trust you and never mind the calm energy you give off to them, I think we can feel that too. I normally look at hunting videos but the management of them brought it to a whole new level.

Excellent handling, using a clever system of doors! The animals are relatively calm. I've had a red stag rear up and start a boxing match with me once. We survived that both.

That's one for the hook, even the one with the bit attitude here is something to damage antler and handler. They change in an instant and are better off gracing a plate. Some of the trophy stuff seems to have erotica natures, including from some breeders.
@exutiku2 жыл бұрын
Yep, as John Mead has already said, those ones become a delicious meal, selective breeding in other words as the chance that their progeny will exhibit similar behaviors is high. Elk cows and Red deer hinds will also get on their hind legs and give you a thumping if they get a chance, those also are usually sent to the works, but wait there's more, red deer hinds will also bite and you don't usually want to be bitten again lol ... Elk cows will possibly bite as well but I've never been bitten by one, but as you have seen Elk are handled differently to Red deer, with the Red deer you are usually in the pen with them as opposed to using a crush.

Facinating. Seeing White Tail panic when cornered, and knowing what an elk can do, it is impressive seeing how relatively calm they were being moved.

Internationally, there is no such thing as an elk, since Cervus canadensis is internationally referred to as a wapiti while Alces alces is internationally referred to as a moose, though elk is used for Cervus canadensis only in North America while they use elk for Alces alces only in Europe.

Surprised the bull he had pinned there didn't jump out, but further surprised that none of them tried kicking him at all when he was that close and looking directly at them. Very weird seeing elk actually in captivity since it's illegal where I live to keep deer of almost any kind as pets or livestock. Especially bucks and bulls because of the antlers. New Zealand doesn't really have much except weird flightless birds and marine animals to trophy hunt I suppose. Probably a bunch of invasive cats and rodents like any inhabited island.
@johnmead84372 жыл бұрын
NZ is over-run with invasive pest species, several deer species, tahr, goats, chamois, wallabies etc. With an active hunting lobby obstructing the limited and localised control that is realistic. Pests they have not a chance in hell of contributing usefully to invasive pest control without a better understanding of the issues. Not always helped by some of the science/management ideas, some are idealistic and inaccurate, hunters can be obstinate whether scientist or weekend warrior.
