    @canucklehead0 Před měsícem +1

    Great little Adventure, Ollie!!! You definitely have the right attitude towards hunting be it Kingfish or Chamois or Red Deer! Sad that so many others just shoot without any consideration to the animal or the terrain and either take the first animal they can get within range of (usually taking a questionable shot), that or they are obsessed with the Horns or the Length etc. and take the horns and leave the rest of the meat to rot and be eaten by carrion scavengers like hawks or vultures. So glad that I found your channel several years back as it's nice to see a young sportsman with some ethics!! Take care, Mate!! - Dave

    • @canucklehead0
      @canucklehead0 Před měsícem

      @@olliecraig-primalpursuit That's why I keep returning to watch your adventures!! I wasn't knocking your hunting Ollie, I fully understand you can only carry down so much. Hunters like you aren't the issue. Here in Canada I've run across full White-tail Bucks with the antlers removed with the top of the head and the backstraps taken and that was it the rest of a 200+ pound animal left to rot and attract bears/mountain lions and wolves among other creatures eager to clean up the kill and at the same time introducing these predators into the area where people walk through or even set up hunting camps. Nothing like seeing a Lion outside your canvas wall tent first thing in the morning to give you chills for days.
      You do things right. I don't know who your mentor was but they did a fantastic job and in return you now have this knowledge plus the experiences you have to pass on to others, and I'm delighted to watch you do that!! Take care!! - Dave

    Your comment about the wind mid vid. In calm conditions wind will head uphill when the sun has warmed the faces...so depending on season and aspect of the face from mid/late morning till evening it will head uphill....then as it cools it will fall back down the hill during evening night and early morning. Hope this helps future hunts.

    Very impressive hunt, and good on you for chasing down the injured animal.
    I can hardly believe you do this. You're off trail in incredibly rugged country, carrying your hunting and filming gear in addition to your backpacking gear. How do you pack out the meat when you are already so loaded down? Like I said, very impressive.
    Something you might find amusing is that the YT speech recognition wrote "suppresa" when you said "suppressor". Probably the same that it would have done for a strong Baaawston (Boston) accent here in the States.
