I had the same thing happen with a Bull Tahr at about 20 meters and was not prepped. You guys did much better than I did. Cheers for the vid team.

[@j.e.wilds-hunting]

Crazy when they pop up! It's always a mad dash in that situation, this time it worked out for us! Cheers Clay, hope you're doing well!

[@cameronhill6368]

I had that happen with a pig spot lighting on private land, got it the thermal about 100m away went around the corner on a track and it was about 25m away when we pulled the spot light up 😂

[@joefluerty]

[@bigd4000]

@@j.e.wilds-hunting yeh mate we took a 5 hr tour with Lake Tekapo 4wd tours up the big valley just out behind the lake which was just spectacular 👌 The tour goes mostly on private land but there was a really cool doc hut waaay up the back beside this beautiful flowing mountain creek and the guide (an older local fella) told us he hunts up there and there is quite a few tahr in the hills round there. They do let a few people hunt up there and there is a bigarse track that leads up to another hut up in the mountains which he hunts out of. I did a lot of cross marketing here in Oz putting businesses together for mutual benefit so thought it might be worth ur while to contact them an for a chance to hunt there give them some exposure on ur channel as if I lived there I would b totally all over it myself ?? Anyway just a thought mate? Cheers D

[@johnmead8437]

Some good deer sometimes in that area, something to consider if wanting to leave any good young ones. Spikers vs 2 year olds may be difficult to identify at times. Good chamois, particularly as a first. Would be interesting if any uncommon birds are encountered.

[@j.e.wilds-hunting]

Yep, some good advice there, mate. Cheers for the comment.
