Well Dog, your videos never let me down. If you keep this up mate, I’m going to need a defib to watch you. Keep ‘em coming and as you say Warm Barrels” bud. Yeeeew!!!

[@HillDogTV]

Legend!

[@moqo]

Amazing video in beautiful country. Wish I was out there.

[@HillDogTV]

Yeah im itching to get back out into the Bush , this weather is awesome

[@mattmerrickvideographywalk3105]

Nice hunt up close n personal 👍

[@HillDogTV]

It was indeed, Thanks Merrick, warm barrels with that big .35 brother

[@timbow50]

A super well done video. Some awesome animals. The rifle sure makes hunting a particular animal so much easier. I’ve killed a ton of animals with a rifle but gave them up for bow hunting. Fewer kills but way more rewarding IMO.

[@HillDogTV]

Appreciate it, and Agree with it!

[@mitchellpackman924]

Nice one HD👌

[@HillDogTV]

Thanks ✌️ warm barrels

[@Gavin_McGregor]

Pearla head mate, another great vid!!

[@HillDogTV]

[@adventureboundd]

Cracker footage mate I’m jealous! Bit keen leaving the head & tent in the bush 😂😂

[@HillDogTV]

ha ha! yeah fair but so far the tents back but the head is still out there as far as i know! may revisist this week an if dont bring his brother out, will bring him out ha ha

[@adventureboundd]

@@HillDogTV hahah spoilt for choice, good stuff man stoked to see you posting again regularly. Sucked when you went down the patreon road but I get it, camera gear ain’t cheap 🍻

[@vicgarrett]

ACTION PACKED HUNT WITH AN AWESOME RESULT.

[@mohammadmartin-sq8qq]

Nice stag Hilldog. Talk about close encounters.

[@HillDogTV]

almost too close! haha

[@robertdimeski4173]

Cracker stag Hilldog. Keep up your great work cheers 🍻

[@HillDogTV]

Thanks man! i aim to keep it up an keep bringing content!

[@tanyeezy19]

great hunt mate, what type of rifle and scope set-up do you have there? I recently moved from NZ and I am looking at getting myself set-up for hunting in Victoria.! Cheers

[@HillDogTV]

3006 this one bro, pretty good all rounder for the big deer down here! 180grain peonies and this scope is an old 2-7x33mm as I seldom shoot past 300. This is a 19 inch barrel for stalking

[@dave9.3]

Live action HD. Crackin stag. Did you glass him and put a stalk on or spook n shoot him walking up that gully?

[@HillDogTV]

I was stalking along, an interupted him.. He Honked as he was Starrin me down--- had to act quick. as is often the Case with these sambar.... Im a stalker predominatley , put up an shoot up with a moments visual confirmation if its a "shooter" or not

[@marcusmilne7392]

Nice stag. Would you do and exchange hunt for a tahr or chamois in Nz?

[@HillDogTV]

they are both great critters that live in amazing country landscapes. i havnt the budget to be re visiting NZ any time soon at this point in time, but the tahr hunting is awesome challenge , the Chams are pretty cute!

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Sweet as, what cartridge?

[@HillDogTV]

.30-06 & 180gr

[@bro031]

Nice stag , hope the head and tent you left behind are still there when you go back because it would be annoying and a shame if someone stole it and claimed they shot it.

[@HillDogTV]

ha ha! yeah, So i retrieved the Tent!! but left the head as it was still quite ripe! i think i hidden it pretty well- an will return again soon! it would be pretty funny though

[@italian_badger1660]

Awesome stag. Do you mind me asking what cartridge and bullet you used?

[@HillDogTV]

Gday I dont mind at all. This hunt i was using a Browning Abolt , 19 inch barrel and using the 180gr BTSP from Hornady.. i prefer Woodleighs but unable to obtain at present.

[@italian_badger1660]

@@HillDogTV sweet just trying to decide what bullet to run with my 308 for deer out to 300m. There's a lot of options isn't there. Anyway what can you do, thanks mate

[@HillDogTV]

yeah fair enough, there is a few out there these days.. the 308 is easy on projectiles but the sambar leg bones can rip apart the lighter stuff.. so i opt for a heavier one , esp if limiting to 300m (good max distance) a 180gr SP can work sweet. i used to use 150gr Woodleighs an would of liked a 165gr ideally... bonded /premium projies you can run a tad lighter, when just SP "cup an core" its bit wiser to go heavy. hope that helps

[@warrenharms1477]

Didn’t take any of the meat out?

[@HillDogTV]

did it look like it? lol

[@warrenharms1477]

@@HillDogTV no, which is why I was asking….thought you’d at least grab the straps and fillets….

[@HillDogTV]

i shoot quite alot on the fringes when the freezers are empty.., when the freezers are full during the winter in back pack mode i trophy hunt. :)
