What a joke hunt the old way 😁 jet boat tracking collars dogs to drag a deer down

Hide your head in shame

Left out GPS joke

Put the boat, collars and gps aside and they have been dogging deer on horseback for ages. Very effectively too. Might not be your cup of latte but it is old school. No harm in using modern tech to do it better

So whats that, is it basically running a deer down using horses and dogs and jump off and run its throat?

Usually shoot them, some dogs bail them, some pull them down. It’s not my thing, but I view it the same as pig hunting.

Neither makes for helpful television.

Pig, deer, all animals have sense of pain same as us. Do the deed ethically and quickly. Leave the dogs out of it, hunt with a rifle.

As I said, it’s not my thing.

ok I actually watched it...hunting with tui sounded and looked good. she not a very experienced huntress,has her young daughter along.
maori chap used his dogs to "course" chase deer and he tracked where they were on gps...they rode around on horses to cut deer off when it came out in open/river flats. Tui pulled off a good shot to cleanly kill deer. it was retrieved on horseback,she gutted it with daughter helping.then carried it back on horseback... they hung it over night..had wee look next day,then looked at some medicinal properties of plants...put deer on jet boat and went home.

yes not everyones cup of tea

high point was seeing a host on maori tv who can actually shoot. stuff all sponsers adds... Tui not eggzachary hard on the eyes.

Pixilated the shot ah

Him ok. But man they are making us into a strange old lot.

We had some scouts come down from Auckland for a farm stay. They did not know where milk came from. Even got one to pee on an electric fence but that’s another story.
So what you might say....it was 1986/87 so we could not believe that these four kids didn’t know. Was a real eye opener for them when we dehorning a few head of cattle.
I think it’s in Sweden where the schools take the pupils to the local freeze works to show kids where meat comes from.
I’m all for this.
Isn’t that what we all do when we introduce someone to hunting show them what is humane and what is not. The difference between hunting and the slaughter house is the animals we hunt have a chance. Usually the odds are in there favour.
Look how many schools recently have had possum fund raising stopped by the antis!
Yes let’s stick together and show how good the out door life can be. Where the world is real and breathing, where milk, honey, meat and vegetables comes from. Not off the super market shelves.
I was taught to shoot by my grandfather (first world war vet). When home last I got too hand this down to my nephews. I could all most feel the old bugger looking over my shoulder.
Got a kick out of that passing it on to the next generation.

So the animal is stressed to hell when you kill it after being bailed up by dogs, horses etc?

Sorry, just trying to understand this method of hunting.

I visited some friends of friends up in the central North Island and that's kinda what they did. Had a half dozen hunters with radios and gps tracking, and waited for the dogs to chase a deer past. Then someone tried to drop it on the run. It's not something I'd do...but hey...when in the North Island...

'Half a dozen hunters'. Are you happy with your terminology there?
