I watched the video last night, I love the raw honesty of your videos and the way you capture the pain and pleasure of hunting. That buck was earned and the head will constantly remind you of all the hard work it takes to get a good public animal. We’ll done.

Good video and nice buck. I also like the video style. Much more interesting than the polished look which are two a penny these days

Yep a very honest account and good video. I was telling myself the same thing regarding fitness the other day as I too was struggling and drenched from carrying the young stag.

Cheers for watching guys and cheers for the feedback - appreciated!
I don't do too much filming on hunts these days and don't really enjoy making the videos as much as I once did, I find my videos quite plain and boring but I like to keep the 'real' aspects of the hunt and all the things we go through in the hills. So it's cool to get feedback that people enjoy certain aspects of it. I really enjoy watching other peoples hunting videos, so I like to 'give back' in some ways by providing stories of my hunts also. The videos also add to the memoir of each hunt which is a bit of a bonus!

I've had one feed of steak off him and it was a bit chewy actually! Hoping the rest of it will be better though after a bit longer in the fridge and freezer.

Very nice buck and earned the hard way, loved the video and your comments. Most good animals take a bit of sweat to get ,well done.

Thanks Mooseman! Yeah, there wouldn't be much of a memory or tale to tell if they were easy aye!

Fantastic head, great video too thanks!

For cramping, I started using the following product after suffering the same thing more frequently than I liked.

https://www.o2bhealthy.co.nz/shop/sp...orts-fuel-max/

Since starting I hardly get cramp now when out in the bush. Also noticeably, I found I recover a lot quicker from long arduous hunts on the hot days. I take in up to 3lt already pre-mixed, then as I've gone through it I can top up with more i have in a plastic container in my pack when refilling my bottles.

It's a lower sugar electrolyte, NZ made and has some other bits in it which aid absorption and recovery above your standard poweraid/gaitorade sugar drinks.

Try marinade for three hours before you cook, the longer the better and no salt until after!
Love the eye of the tiger at the end, reminds me of my trips into the Kiamias lol:XD:

Cheers for the feedback guys - glad you enjoyed the video, sure was an enjoyable day... Even if it didn't look like it with all the whining about lack of fitness :D

Thanks mate, I'll look into that one! I should come right again once I've worked a bit of fitness up, always struggle a bit when I've done bugger all hunting!

Thanks Sideshow, I'll give the marinade a go - had some more steak tonight and it was bloody tough as boots again. So I'll give it one more chance with the marinade, then it'll all be going in to sausages.
