I’m 77 years old,& I’m totally addicted to to these hunting videos. I was raised by a hunter, &married to hunters. I miss hunting. These videos help me to remember those wonderful times. ❤😢

[@mattokeefe691]

Thank you for sharing Billy. You were a good client and I appreciate that you are not driven by horns. The experience is everything

[@Scott-jj5on]

This is one of the coolest hunting videos I've ever seen. Guide respecting guide,no egos,hard to find now. I guided many years in BC and this is what you dream of. This by far is your best upload,I have to watch it again!

[@firewoodtime2]

Interesting name. Duck duck go Rockefeller Lockstep 2010. It's a 54 page report that tells exactly what you are living. Even picked where the bug would start..also search John O Looney on Rumble. Shocking...wish I could have a face to face. Also. The tools of Rev 20:4 are on American soil....everyone chipped is the end goal of the bug.

You should go down on brokeback mountain with billy get on the train boi

[@hardyardshunting3300]

@Billy Molls Adventures thank you for the way you have presented this hunt. It is great to see a genuine hunter, hunting New Zealand the genuine way. This is without a doubt one of the best videos I have seen showcasing our mountain hunting. Too many international hunters take shortcuts when hunting here, nd miss what it really is about. Your video has shown everything that is arguably one of the best mountain hunters anywhere in the world. Your welcome back anytime!

[@moderndaymountainman8130]

Cheers, Mate! Loved every second of my time in NZ!

[@clum84]

Ah the first minute or so of this video really hit home. I'm also 37 and dreamed of hunting NZ for a long time, coming form the UK. Did it from 2012-2015 and literally counting the days until I can go back for good!

[@ROESPLETZ]

Of course you upload this video when it’s time to go to work. Lol I may be late today!

[@matthewwarren4109]

Not being funny but this is the best NZ hunting vid that shows everything on what to expect. Fantastic work Billy

[@BirchBarkOutdoors]

I never felt woozy before watching videos of mountain hunting until this video. The angle .... good Lord... I was on the sofa feeling like I was falling off the earth.

[@Andy_M986]

Have a look at Milford Sound,the sheer peaks that go straight down into the sea,people hunt on those peaks.

[@BirchBarkOutdoors]

@@Andy_M986 oh man... awesome hunt for those that can do it but I think my feet do best on ground thats more than just toe holds.

[@1986Wolfpack]

Great video. I am a Aussie and have hunted 6 times and getting 5 Bulls.I regard them as one of the best trophies you can get, I"m 65 years old now and I think my Tahr hunting days are over.

[@harrycoureas2427]

I have watched you punish some of your Sheep hunting clients in Alaska and thought you were bullet proof so to see you sweat was nice to see you are human. Great effort and full mark to your guide, he is superhuman, a true athlete. Great vid, look forward to seeing some more of your recent adventures.

[@handiman5]

I wish I could eloquently explain how wonderful this adventure was to 'be a part of'. It's like I'm with you, but without any energy expenditure! Thanks Billy for taking us on the best and most beautiful scenic adventure as of yet!

[@normankeoghan5298]

Glad you liked our little islands down under, it’s hard and wonderful country. As you dreamed of wandering our southern alps, We dream of Alaska. For most of us that watch your adventures, will be as close as we will ever get. So thank you for all the time and effort shearing your adventures with us. Nice to see some dreams come true.

[@jamiebatman7080]

[@serverlan763]

The difference is Billy can do a DIY Tahr hunt for Less than 10K NZ travelling from the US, but a Sheep hunt in Alaska would cost a Kiwi north of 50K NZ bucks....

[@phillipgoode2576]

Congrats Mr Molls, what a great show & an epic hunt Sir! Yes Indeed you are blessed & you earned it for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@907GearHead]

What i find so amazing about this hunt, aside from the love of the hunt and for Billys videos. Is hearing Billy say how trying and difficult this hunt was and how much it meant to him. Ive spent years watching Billy guide clients on what i would say is lifes greatest challenges and hardest kind of hunting for those amazing dall sheep and so many other big game trophys. Surely one of my biggest goals in life is to be able to hunt Dall sheep. To hear Billy describe this hunt as more challenging is truly an eye opener! As always, great job Billy and thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures my friend. God bless

[@greigcaigou5048]

Great spot that, been there . . . the climb and the adventure are the rewards. Good to see you doing this the Kiwi way, and good on you and your guide for not squandering to less authentic heli-hunts. All the best

[@coniferproductions1]

Quite different seeing you on the other end of the hunt as the hunter. Loved the video! Learned several things about New Zealand from your guide Craig who was top notch for sure. Hopefully I can put it to use as I'll be there in 2022 with a great group of friends.

[@user-br7of1qu7p]

Billy molls,what a legend..he knows what direction to face his thumb when hes giving thanks ..👍 go well billy molls. And your whanau..luv your vids bro..awsome..kiwi..🐏

[@wayneflay7604]

I was born and bred in new Zealand and I love it here

[@andrewzepf7510]

I've been called part mountain goat by several people, but that terrain you were on when you took your tahr - Sheesh! That would have even me second-guessing myself as to whether I needed to be on that mountain or not. Excellent job, and God bless!

[@moderndaymountainman8130]

It was pretty sketchy…

[@ronwatson4902]

Well, you wanted to be a mountain man. I believe you have arrived. Thank you Billy and God Bless.

[@moderndaymountainman8130]

🍻

[@tracyedwards9673]

Billy, on the 8th Day God created New Zealand..... as a Kiwi hunter of some 40+ years we are so lucky. White tail hunting Stewart Island and have wild Kiwi walking past your feet, The Sika of The central North Island. You are right, the camera doesn't do justice to the scenery, and scale, note the distance the Thar fell off the hill. Bloody steep. The one thing I enjoy is no Bears.... Nice to see you enjoying Gods Own Country... The hills recharge who we are as hunters who love the hills...

[@wolfferguson1293]

Cool to see an American hunting here and doing the hard yards without going to safari park. Great video

[@marcr9305]

Congrats on a great hunt neighbor! And thanks for the video, I probably would never have taken the time to watch a Tahr hunt any other time. But Wow, what a place and what an animal! Super guide too

[@earlnaumann6622]

Billy, again you bring back memories. I was a Professor in New Zealand a couple of times. Went hunting tahr, chamois, red deer. I was 60 at the time so I took the helicopter to the top and camped there. My guide figured that was best at my age. Trusted my guide. Same area, same views. Less sweat. Yes, those mountains are steep. I dug footholds to cross those snow shutes. 400 yards down if you slipped. Keep it up.

[@jjreno7843]

Billy when you were hanging onto that tuft grass , (42: 27) and the mountain is straight down my hart was pounding as though I was hanging on right beside you! I felt like I was going to slide right out of my recliner!! Great video> >>>>>---------->

[@bowbailey69]

It was refreshing to watch you on the other side of the hunt. That had to be much more comfortable for both of you. Great video.

[@jetstreek17]

This video is one of the best Hunting videos I've ever seen. Billy, you should make this into a full-length feature, and sell it at trade shows. Incredible scenery, filmography, and overall high-stakes adventure. Thank you for making it available for the average joe.. Your one of the best.

[@yragtgov]

Awesome and educational.

[@user-br7of1qu7p]

Good to see u in our country billy..take care..god bless mate..prey u get a good bull.

[@barbarahancock7819]

[@no1fibersplicer525]

Have you ever done a video about your gear? A lot of us hunters would love to know what clothing and camping gear you use (I have my own gun preference 😂)

[@moderndaymountainman8130]

Going to do more gear videos.

[@henryshuntingadventures5082]

Kia ora Billy tumanako kei te ora koe. He honore te kite i a koe i Aotearoa. You are a good man Billy Molls and I get so much more than a hunting adventure from your videos. Great seeing you in our beautiful country.

[@jarrodlawson6190]

Love you’re content Billy. Being a kiwi and hunting Tahr myself you really picked a spot to enjoy the full experience. That was as hardcore as I’ve ever seen. Love it ❤

[@hawks2252]

On my bucket list as well my friend. Although, I don't know if I am tough enough to hang with the guides. I better start hitting the gym.

[@nigelj6567]

Great Video as a New Zealander I really liked seeing the way you filmed the mountain's your guide the whole thing.

[@williamglover826]

Good video ! Thanks for sharing

[@tonystewart7287]

Glad you enjoyed hunting here 😎😎😎

[@Nello353]

Bill you were an excellent ambassador and you were funny and interesting, you made a great shot and as usual a great video.

[@nigelclats6970]

I moved here to NZ from Wales UK to hunt Tahr at 37yrs old. Man it's a blast in the mountains,getting tougher as I am 58 now,but still go hard every time. Cheers.

[@hankbraff1135]

New Zealand is so amazing, I have many Kiwi mates that I have had the pleasure of hunting with, Billy you only saw one aspect of it , I hope you return there one day, once bitten by the Kiwi bug you must return, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@kerrydavis5644]

Absolutely amazing Love the country it’s so beautiful Awesome to see you on a hunt instead of you taking people on a hunt good for you

[@BigBlue1026]

Another great video Billy. It's great to see you out hunting for yourself. I'd love to hear more about the rifles, scopes and ammo being used. I see you had a Tikka T3 for this hunt, one of my favorite rifles, light weight, smoothest bolt and fine accuracy right out of the box. Great job!

[@robertjohnson9769]

Great hunt epic with good aim 👍

[@kechanguliemetsieo7791]

You guys did it, good job

[@369dusty]

Any predators you have to be concerned about in New Zealand ? Craig is very down to earth in his demeanor. What a great guide to go with in "new" territory for you Billy. Amazing video !!!

[@charlibinou1]

Wooow this looks so crazy. The hike back down with meat in ur pack has to be scary damn! Knees are takimg a hit for sure . Congrats Billy. U that best

[@melburncraig822]

Fantastic video Billy, really enjoyed this! Gotta say I was nervous looking at the footing and terrain! Very IMPRESSIVE!

[@johnnyhelton3746]

Awesome adventure,

[@eruston]

32:29 I remember being able to drink from the streams in the Canadian Rockies near Mt Assiniboine great stuff. 1:05:55 that is a pretty rare glimpse of a land parrot... I think they are pretty much flightless (so get destroyed and are almost extinct due to feral cats in NZ).

[@johnmead8437]

Kea, mountain parrot. Found throughout the South Island mountains, not common but seen often being inquisitive and can be destructive

[@zanemichel4742]

This a great video, I luv the comparison to Alaska Thanks for sharing

[@michaelbyrne5428]

Brilliant!

[@boots8373]

It is always interesting to see and hear a visitors impressions of hunting in NZ. Especially those who have a wealth of experience hunting in other parts of the world. I was especially pleased to see you undertake your Tahr hunt in the way most NZ hunters would, by putting in the hard yards (meters) on foot to claim your animal and really experience the challenges the terrain demands. We have a unique situation here in NZ where all of our big game animals (Tahr, Chamois, and seven deer species) are introduced, and having no natural predators, need their numbers managed. What better way to do this than by enjoy our sport with the added bonus of putting food on the table. Well done.

[@richardingraham6353]

Wow. What a tumble 😮

[@barrytree6666]

Thank you for taking me on your trip. Totally amazing country. Very nice man your guide was.

[@moderndaymountainman8130]

Craig is phenomenal.
