Hunting In Ambush (How I Deer Hunt a Meadow)

Alright guys I am going to take you on an adventure and show you the steps I go through to Hunt a clearing/meadow for Deer. Its a bit of a 'how to' type episode this one. I will teach you how I got into position and the steps I did to set up and watch over an area for Deer.

Yeah mate would love to see those great adventures even if they don't produce, it'll remind me a bit of my hunting career 🤣

[@ClaytonDarwin]

Yep. I like your videography as well. New Zealand has some beautiful country. But a successful hunt or fish is great to see. 👍

[@motboyzie2982]

For me its all about getting out and about. The kill shots are a bonus when they come. Really enjoyed that one joe. Great message. Cheers 👍

Great video. Love how you care for your dog. I had to get my old girl put down last week. 13 1/2 years old. Brought tears to my eyes looking at this

[@katwilds3148]

😭😭 That's sad to hear about. At least, she had a long and great life with you! 😊 Boy and Joe share a super close bond, which I'm sure you noticed. It's so good to see! Clearly, your pain with loosing your girl, is a good indicator you had a similar bond. Hopefully that pain eases quickly. 😊

Hey mate thanks so much for that I really appreciate it! The hunting season starts up in March next month and I have a full series going up from then on, which im super excited for. Some big hunts on the calender. For now I am active on my fishing channel as it's the fishing season, you can find it by searching JE Wilds - Fishing. Same style videos as we have here but based around catching big Kingfish off the rocks rather than hunting

Your videos are great. Just the scenery is awesome for people so who don't live in these places.

[@bertcremers3134]

Hey Joe :-) Dissapointments go with the hunt, every hunter knows and accepts that. Its a good idea to show how a hunt can fail, this gives people who are against hunting an insight of reality. Where I live (west Europa) you have to do 20-30 sits to master a wild pig, so I don't have to say how manny hours this involves but thats the thrill of the hunt. Go on making good video's like these.

[@aussiesinbot]

love all the mountain ridge goat hunts wish australia had places like this you could hunt upload more mate. The hunt is more exciting than the animals death and learning other peoples skills/methods. keep up the hard work

[@katwilds3148]

Haha! Yea. I'm on the Adelaide Plains. Flattest place on earth. 🤣🤣🤣 I agree, just being out there, experiencing everything is by far the best thing! 😍

Just had a weekend hunt like that,spent all of one day trying to find a mates deer with my dog.turns out ot wasnt that badly injured afterall.next day spent walking on cornflakes and missed a deer.Still a great weekend in the bush.love your vids wether there is a kill shot or not.keep it up

[@philipmayers5785]

Joe I love the effort you put into your filming. The drone footage & the way that you map your sites out showing what is exactly happening, it's so enjoyable. Keep them coming.

[@shanegibb997]

Such beautiful country , when you were stalking with your bow , how stèep was it ? It looked really steep ! And its all about the adventure , if you take a good animal , that's the bonus. 👍

[@BaioWithMayo]

The vibes and nature are such a great draw for me personally, obviously love the hunt as well but I personally would watch footage similar to the bow hunt 100%, just as intense and even with a dying camera its still awesome!

[@andrealipate]

Epic as usual Joe! Would have to be my favourite bow hunt the old Cham. Need to convene over that Kingi and a stick bait. Keep it up bro 👊🏽🤙🏽

[@katwilds3148]

Unbelievably tough for a bowhunt, hey!! 😳 Have you seen this seasons videos on the JE Wilds Fishing, Chanel? He's been fishing hard out for a couple of months. Right now, he is on an island for a few days. 🤣🤣 What a life!

A brilliant stalk sir. It is about getting out there, enjoying the experience, and whom ever you go with that makes the hunt not the animal, or the kill, that is just the bonus.

It’s not about the kill it’s the journey to that point an the cook an eat after is the real blessing 👍 Pity we can’t hunt anywhere but private property in Oz, feral pigs, cats an dogs r destroying millions of native animals every yr but the government an the greenies (who supposedly want to protect our native animals) r totally focused on taking our guns off us.......go figure eh?🤷‍♂️

Whiiiiccchhh I feel like may have been an issue for them recently. 🤔 Where abouts are you?

[@katwilds3148]

Also!! I dunno about your state, but the amount of petitions I've seen flying about recently and super sudden changes in firearms rules lately, has been ridiculous!

[@jakebrew9517]

Nice we vid. Again👍👍

[@silvermediastudio]

When shooting at an angle (declined or inclined), aim low. Because the distance to target is not linear over the ground, it is the hypotenuse. Many a young hunter such as yourself has sailed arrows and bullets over the backs of game by not taking this into account, or having never practiced it. Suggest you go out one day with a paper target and give it a go at various angles and distances.

[@hugoherradorcarrasco3261]

Hey JE Wilds, I believe I heard you saying in one of your videos what we as spectators would like to see more in your videos. Personaly I would be even more entertained if you showed more maps, webmaps, carto, gps and mapping stuff in general. A bit of wild life management actions not only taken by hunters but also public or landowners managers would be also a lot of my interest. Anyway, you have something in your videos that make them special. All the best

Enjoyed the stalk...thanks. Beautiful trout- take a collapsible fly rod next time. A few looked quite big.

[@gnrtravels]

Am a bit surprised you even asked for our opinion. Hunting is not about the shot and the kill, the hours of glassing, stalking, prepping, etc etc... it is all about the hunt. the anticipation. The hand gestures and whispering on your stalk gets you in there. If you can add the hours of anticipation you had while waiting for a movement that would be gold. A hit would be great, but we all know we miss (occasionally....) keep hunting, but importantly keep filming, and more importantly buy some extra batteries (keep 'm warm on your body)... ;o)

I don't hunt big game any more, but still tramp plenty and love to see and photograph the animals, and to be in the alpine with the kea, beech, tussock, and clean cold streams. As Joe says, being up there in the remote mountains is the main thrill, and everything else good that happens while there, such as shooting some meat or a trophy, is added bonuses.
