    Exactly and I’m sure if a couple of Swedish trampers had turned up the dogs would have slept outside, a hut is just a dog kennel for people anyway

    The dogs have a medical exemption and are 'Diabetes awareness dogs'. They smell their master indicate when blood sugar is low

    Another great show. Hard yards hunting alright. I prefer those episodes to ones on private land.
    Persistence paid off and that stag was well earned. The dogs looked pretty well behaved so a non issue for me
    I've let my dog sleep in a hut before.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Great episode and talk about doing the miles
    Dogs in huts mean you need to burn less wood to keep warm
    A snarling snapping critter with 2 or 4 legs would get the bums rush outside from me though

    I really enjoyed this First Episode of Season 8. Willie's Stag was a modern classic from the Rakaia Herd, and one to be proud of forever!

    Greg and Willie and Emil have done a fantastic job promoting and educating us all about "ethical' hunting whenever they can. They do the (bloody) hard yards, and often get fantastic trophy animals as a result.

    And NZ Hunter must be pretty good, as my wife (about as much a non-hunter as a non-hunter can be) is happy to watch it with me - a bloody miracle!!

    Those dogs are obviously not, half wild pig dogs that will go rogue at a moment's notice, friendly Labs under control. Good Job.

    On tv shows, I watched one last night, wherein the presenter, was talking up his tracking skills and showed a Deer hoof print.

    I congratulate the programme, on having such great wilderness skills, that they could come to that spot earlier, wipe the leaves clear of the ground, with their boot, leaving a clear patch of soft ground, in a semi circle shape, complete with a little pile of leaves, at one side, for the deer to come along later and leave a perfect and complete, foot print in the centre of the clear patch.

    I wish I could understand deer that well.

    @Copelli My mum was the same. She was in her late 80's and enjoyed the program; even when they didn't shoot something. I think enjoying an episode where they return empty handed shows how good the story is. She was never into hunting etc, but liked the story of them (mostly) walking in and also some of the climbing they did. Also; their ethics. Those ethics seem to be taken up by the younger generation on their YouTube channels too. Many of their channels are providing good content too.

    We were watching it one night, it was the episode where Willie shot a huge red (16 pointer???) There was another party in the valley they were hunting in. Both parties saw the stag, and the other party buggered off after an hour or so. The Duley's stayed for about 2 days and shot it just on last light on the last night. Mum said "The reason they are always so successful is because they are patient". A wise observation from a non-hunter. I've always been amazed about the amount of non-hunters who like and regularly watch the program

    As for the negative comments you sometimes hear/read; I think a lot of it comes down to jealousy. The Duley's have put their head up above the parapet and there are so many who think that they're "lucky because they get paid to hunt". Well; I reckon the realities of making a program like theirs, and keeping it high quality, is more than most people would have the guts to try. I bet they spend a lot more time behind the computers and also finding and keeping sponsors than any hunting.

    Just imagine how much time it takes t set up shots, wait for Emil to get ahead of them for some angles, catch up from far behind for other angles. And the sheer nervousness of the "God I hope it's an interesting/successful trip" stress they are all probably experiencing most of the year, not just when hunting.

    I think we have to be grateful to Hunting Aotearoa too for kicking off the hunting tv shows.

    @Micky Duck That episode scared the crap out of me sitting on the sofa! Regarding Emil; If you make a point of noting all the times he's shooting Greg and Willie from far away and think that every time he has to catch up or get ahead put it in perspective. And; the amount of waiting around there would be for him to do all that; as well as shoot all the B roll footage... That'[s hugely time consuming. And; on that summit climb Emil had to do the same
