Thread: NZ Hunter

I've only seen the odd Red Stag Hunters Club. There is some stuff on YouTube. Must be somewhere to stream old episodes?

They had all the earlier seasons on Vimeo, small cost to watch them but from memory it wasn't too bad. I coughed up for all of the seasons they had available as soon as the first lock down was announced.

Struggle with it a bit these days. A lot of their hunts, gear, etc are so far out of financial reach it's just outright depressing to be honest. Duleys are a little that way as well sometimes when they're packing six thousand dollar Sako rifles and 10 grand worth of optics between them, feel a bit better about myself when the tikka with a Z3/Z5 comes along! I prefer the NZ Hunter show in general though for the "if you really want to, train a bit/a lot and walk anywhere" attitude.

Was that it for the season? Or not on due to Easter programming? Went to watch Sunday’s episode on demand but nothing added. Last season was 10 episodes, this one 8 so far.

I'm thinking that they must've had a movie on Sunday evening for Easter and its been pushed back a week

From a post on FB:

'that's it for this season on television unfortunately, we're diverting some time and energy into our digital offerings, and will be releasing all our old seasons and other new content on our YouTube channel throughout the year, so keep your eyes peeled for that!'.

I'm very thankful we get such quality content like this for free. It's clearly a lot of work to create the content and turn it into a broadcastable format. At the end of the day they need to get the return out of that as it's a business after all. If terrestrial TV isn't providing what is required then hopefully diversification will ensure their ability to continue. I'm still amazed (and grateful) that the magazine has survived so far - as much as I like digital content it's great to leaf through a magazine as I often find the most engaging material is things I'm not necessarily doing myself. The algorithm led digital world tends to focus in on what it thinks you're most interested in, which often excludes the sort of variety you get in the analog world.

Is the season over?? Feels like it was a couple episodes short this year

You're totally correct - there were 8 episodes this season compared to 10 last year. They finished this season with the traditional duck shooting episode which included an extended cooking segment with a professional chef that specialises in wild game. Some great ideas in that segment to do more inspiring things with your waterfowl harvest!

I'm guessing with Greg having to rebuild his entire lifes work time simply wasn't there to make the extra episodes.

Guys, for perspective, Greg pretty much was on a digger straight after the floods, and with Fi - helped to rebuild the local community - right through 2023.... When I caught up with him late January this year, he was more ripped than a 20 year old going to Les Mills every day. He pretty much said he'd been working without stopping. Luke and the boys spent a month helping get their property liveable again. And despite all this, they still managed to produce the best hunting (and climbing) show in NZ in 2024. They are such awesome, genuine people, and trust me what you see, is what you get. How in the world they even managed to produce a show of such quality just blows me away.
