- In this episode we head out on the search for red deer on the open moor, that means lots of walking!
It’s day 2 and the sun is out, but so is the wind. We use this to our advantage and as long as we keep the wind in our faces we have a chance. There is something special about hunting out on the hill, seeing herds of deer grazing and chilling in the sun. I find this really tests you, especially with the lack of cover and the need to get within a safe shooting range.
After making our way through countless river crossings and plenty of crawling, we get to a group of deer. Now we just need to get in for a shot.
Again, we are stalking with the aim of controlling the deer numbers and helping the land owner reach his targets for the year. This creates a sustainable deer population and helps to promote a diverse habitat.
Thanks for all the continued support. It keeps me going and makes chasing the adventure worthwhile.
Thanks again to all involved with this trip. @westcapadesUK @KAHLES

That was a hell of a shot in that wind.

@@SoulsUntapped send the feo this vid and ask for a 300wm 😆
@@richiedd4119 I’ve got a 270 on my ticket but just don’t have the funds for it yet , hopefully soon , Ended up getting on fine with the 243 though just had to get closer
440 m in that wind?? Really?? It’s shot in the guts! That’s 2ft of wind drift! That shot should never of been taken at all never mind shown on you tube!
How many deer have you shot in the guts that went straight down? Thanks for the helpful yet inaccurate comment.
Hey mate , appreciate your comment and taking the time to watch my channel, I’m sorry you feel that way and appreciate your very positive and constructive comment it’s very helpful . Cheers and happy hunting
@@SoulsUntapped in that wind 200 odd is plenty far enough and if the shot isn’t on then it’s not on, it’s hard to walk away I know but shot placement is key. On a day with no wind then if your confident and capable then yes 400 is a shot that can be taken but always try and get in to 300 odd maximum because you have to walk there to get it after the shot anyway so what’s crawling in another few yards gonna harm👍
@@delhogg5380 you are right there which is why I didn’t shoot in that wind as in wasn’t confident at the range and wind and couldn’t get any closer . Jake felt comfortable so took the shot . And the deer went down . I’m not going to be arguing about all this as nothing will ever be perfect in everyone’s eyes. So thanks again for commenting and taking the time to reply much appreciated happy hunting
@@SoulsUntapped I’m not arguing either honestly it’s friendly criticism,Jake obviously didn’t back up his confidence with where the shot ended up. Lesson learned hopefully and next time will think na not in that wind il hit it to far back👍happy hunting
Thermals, drones, drinking the night before?.............Amateurs using technology to short cut experience. Wot carrying the dog cross that stream?????
Love the positivity cheers 🍻
I carry my dog to keep her as dry as possible in -2 conditions. We often lay or crawl for 100’s of meters so looking after your companion and not having her getting hypothermia and arthritis is paramount. Thanks for your “expert” comments though 😂
