The Most Roaring Stags We Have Ever Seen | Hike and Hunt Public Land New Zealand

Join us on a walk in, pack hunt through the mountains in the south island of New Zealand in search of a representative red stag for Alex. On this mission we are doing a multi day A to B spike hunt through some of New Zealand's finest public hunting grounds. Sit back, grab a brew, kick the feet up and enjoy the video. Cheers, Johnny Bukholt.

Cheers mate

Some amazing country and footage there, cheers for sharing. Being DOC land, did you encounter any other hunters or is this one of them ballot blocks where you had sole access?

[@altitudehunting]

Hey mate this is DOC land, i've been into this particular spot three times and have never seen a single other hunter, cheers.

[@cococharliematenga4829]

@@altitudehunting so blessed to have access to such amazing country and to be the only people in them hills.

That's a gecko

[@altitudehunting]

Cheers, do you know what type of gecko it is?

[@quantumcabo]

Hey guys great footage and epic hunt! One small tip would be to turn off the background music it gets really overwhelming and general nature sounds and commentary is way better! 👍

[@altitudehunting]

Cheers for the comment mate, appreciate that one, will keep it in mind for the next one. 👍

[@scruffy2629]

Lol! 17 stags in one day on D.O.C land! Wicked vlog bro! 😊

[@altitudehunting]

Haha cheers Sean. 👍

[@terryaustin5573]

Do you need a DOC concession to use a drone on public land for public viewing? Or all go?

[@altitudehunting]

Yeah you need a concession, and must apply with civil aviation rules.

[@terryaustin5573]

[@markwest3030]

Cheers bro

[@allantheshearer]

Good stuff. Took me a min to recognise Alex outside a shearing comp. Crazy how deer numbers have increased around there the last 10years.

[@altitudehunting]

yep its Alex! yeah there's a fair few around that area now. Cheers

[@stevedunphy5365]

Great video. You comment on DOC using 1080 or culling the deer if you don't shoot one or two is very misinformed. It's not actually legal to intentionally poison deer with 1080 and they certainly don't do any deer culling in the South Island (apart from one very small spot no where near this spot).

[@altitudehunting]

Thanks for the feedback, will take that on board. Cheers

[@stevedunphy5365]

@@altitudehunting Again, this looked like a really cool trip and wicked video

[@georgio5991]

Your bang on mate - DOC is not a threat to these animals - cant target deer with 1080. The biggest risk to those stags is a $2 increase in the feral venison price.

Wicked video Johnny and Alex 🦌
