I've loved your work since i was 15 years old guys (I'm 34 now). Thanks for inspiring me, even til this day. Much respect

Great video

[@rocknhorsetopaz]

This is a great video it shows the endurance of a meat hunter, & it makes iron men events look like a walk in the park !! From my own experience meat hunters are usually of light wiry build, not muscle men. Meat hunting turns a boy into a real man like your father, & he has passed this on to you two boys, & made real men out of you as well. Thank you for your video because it took me back to when I did a little bit of meat hunting about 38 years ago before I had two spinal operations, & now I have to drag the deer so I'm limited to where I can hunt because of that.I have shot two stags recently in November/December & I'm nearly 70.

[@TheGrafBoys]

Thanks for the feedback, Rocknhorsetopaz. All the best of luck with getting your back sorted. Cheers!

[@jesseterrill5413]

What caliber rifle did you mainly use? I watch this on th old video since i was a kid

[@TheGrafBoys]

Liked to use .270, but also 6mm Remington, and even as light as .22-250. Cheers

[@billcallahan2830]

Great video. Dying art and tradition. Man made problem. Yet get criticism from peta and the like. Lets just put ten Ferrel cats and dogs in their house and see how it goes. Today I think they call it Free Range . It makes them feel better about what they eat and how it is processed. Lol. God be with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@BIBECHYOUTUification]

May I know how does your achievement (in this video) inspire the society?

[@rukaks]

Feral deer are also considered a pest in NZ, so this is also conservation at its most basic. NZ is famous for its outdoors experiences, wild rugged forests, and our adventures out in them. This video shows the pristine NZ nature at its finest.

Self Reliance ,Determination ,hard work ethics , personal discipline, providing for your family and others.

[@ann-raelagrelle8312]

What in the bush is that guy trien to call

[@TheGrafBoys]

Red deer stags. :)

[@user-sj3fp2xq2m]

Thats a lot of work for a piece of meat..

[@copey92]

I cant believe you lean on the muzzle of your rifle even with the bolt not closed. Bad ethics for aspiring young shooters

[@jeffhiggins3179]

Very sad that you destroy the nature.

[@Matt-ze2xc]
