Thread: VIDEO: Long Range Red Deer Meat Hunt

Here's a little bit of footage I've just finished putting together from our hunting trip last weekend.

Bloody good stuff.

Yeah i thought it was a hard case too, one of the young fellas was heading home a day eariler than the rest of us, we had run out of room in the meat safe so loaded 4 reds, a pig and 2 goats for dog tucker into his hairdressor wagon to take home and put in the chiller, we soon refilled the empty space ;-)

Hey mate good stuff what camera are you useing ?

Just an old Canon SX50 for the zooming in on the deer, other closeup footage is with my old Galaxy S7 phone ��

The second deer, the hind shot at 744 yards by Lou had a visible udder and had a new fawn. I wouldn't have shot her myself

Best thing is look for a suckled udder. I could see it in the less than clear footage. I could also see from the 'form' of the animal that it was an adult hind not a yearling. 95% + of adult hinds will have a dependent fawn now.

It’s easy to see lots of things on the zoomed video playing on a phone, not so easy through binos or a scope. Definitely not easy through the camera even at full zoom.
Lou will be stoked with his gunsmithing I guess his lathe runs true
Cool vid

Yes exactly right, even with 20x scope at that range these details are not obvious to the untrained eye.

Even when viewing the little screen of the camera when zoomed up 100x or even 200x due to the low resolution of the camera screen details are not that obvious.

Different story when you have the benefit of watching on a HD screen or large computer or tv screen.

We are also not deer experts, we were however 100% positive that it was made out of meat, and upon cutting it up we were correct.
