Strange Hunt in a Strange Land: New Zealand Red Stag | S2E04 | MeatEater

Steven Rinella is on New Zealand's South Island for a do-it-yourself, free-range hunt for the majestic red stag. But first, he needs to secure some camp meat in the form of wild lamb. Battling weather and wary game in mountainous terrain, he uses his spot and stock hunting skills to discover Kiwi red stags are a trophy worthy of the wall and the cook pot. #MeatEater

[@mattbidgood851]

@SoulEjecta I get what you mean but, that's just so incorrect. The Didgeridoo is an Aboriginal instrument native to Australia and has absolutely nothing to do with New Zealand. Same with the Aboriginal and Maori cultures. They are so different in so many ways and aren't even from the same cultural groups, like Canadians and Americans (native populations included). The Aboriginals have been in Australia for over 50,000 years, whereas the Māori are a Polynesian group that inhabited New Zealand around the 1300s. Very different than Canada and America since those cultures come from a very similar origin. Not trying to be rude, just as a Kiwi I really dislike people saying stuff like this.

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

Nice shot. Kudos to you for holding off on that bigger stag. You got more discipline than me, lol. About twenty years ago in south Texas got an invite to hunt whitetails on a small ranch that was almost never hunted. Nobody else was out there that day. Was a two buck county, but it was kinda asked I not shoot more than one. Didn't think that would be an issue....but, got on the stand overlooking a powerline right of way (sendero). Didn't see a buck all morning, but I knew they were rutting. Finally about 10:00 am saw a small 6 point about 100 yards away as it stepped in the sendero. Put the crosshairs behind the shoulder and took the shot. The bucked jumped and ran into the brush. I was pretty confident I killed it, but before I got off the tripod I saw a large 9 point about 150 yards away in the other direction. The temptation devil tapped me on the shoulder and I dropped that buck with a quartering away shot behind the last rib. Of course I found the 6 point. It only went a few yards in the brush. Spent the rest of the day sneaking both bucks off the property and butchering them, lol. That 9 point was a big old buck. Swoll neck and scratches all over from fighting. My biggest Texas buck to date.

It is nice to see ETHICS in a hunter!

[@benjohnson6833]

It would be awesome to watch you do a Tahr hunt or even Chamois hunt. Kia Ora Steve

[@dave131]

In case you didn't find it yet... With the help of guide and friend Remi Warren, Steven Rinella gears up for a massive climb into New Zealand’s Southern Alps in pursuit of Chamois and Tahr. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH3Kd5mspZ2WrM0&ab_channel=MeatEater

Kiwis are so lucky that red stags were sent from England to New Zealand over a century ago! Not all our exports have worked well but this one definitely did

I'm from "Hamburg" in Germany, we have got a Nature Reserve called "Duvenstedter Brook" we got the biggest Red stags Here...the Reserve is also called "cradle of Giants" because of its huge huge Stags. Im Often there when the rut comes...so impressive!!! Cheers

[@OhioGentlemenArms]

New Zealand sure looks beautiful and that lamb made my mouth water.

[@sandcontour]

Another great video. Nice stag. Like you I really like eating ‘wild lamb’. I’m not sure who chose the music, but it’s New Zealand not Australia; what was up with the didgeridoo!? 👍😀

[@thelonewolf_nz7640]

I'm lucky enough to live in new Zealand. My first decent stag is my channel photo.

Nice !!! If I win the lottery, I'll hire you as my guide lol What an incredible place.

I love Remi's use of hearing protection. It's such a good example to for the younger sportsmen and women in particular.

[@tylerschneible584]

I’m constantly surprised that Steve doesn’t use a suppressor. Especially when hunting in some of these countries that consider it almost rude to shoot unsuppressed. It’s a much better hunting experience.

[@pwr2al4]

He mentioned on the podcast recently that he finally got his stamp back from the ATF after 12+ month wait so expect to see some suppressor action coming up in the future.

[@tylerschneible584]

pwr2al4 that’s good news! Not bad either, I’ve waited better than 16 months for mine

[@RanchKings]

I’m happy you waited so you didn’t kill unnecessarily:)
