Just letting you know, a pretty impressive bull hits the deck on tonight's episode, which is probably my favourite of the series. Hope those that tune in get a kick out of it!

Well done, a nice old bull & Sam’s Chamois was mint too.
Where was the old projectile located?
Pretty sure he said in the shoulder.Quote:

Think Marty looked to be a bit out of his comfort zone:XD: having just been in and out of the Grand Canyon I recon stuff that too:D
Looks like they have broken the Jinx on the cham. 2 nice ones in one series :thumbsup:
Would be nice to know where the shots went on those animals that didn’t drop on the spot and/or required a second shot ie the chamois last night. (Which in my opinion straight away looked like it had been hit with the first shot even though it bolted before collapsing)
First shot on the large Tahr hit him in the lower jaw I believe, as he had a bit of blood coming from the muzzle. Not the kind of thing worth dwelling on within the episode. Second shot did the job well.Quote:

Thanks for that.Quote:

Must say Dave you really need to take a spare gun next time Antio goes fly fishing :XD::thumbsup:
Anto's piece to camera while fishing is some classic kiwi comedy there.
It really should go viral
Gamebirds and Canadas tonight team!
Anyone watch it tonight, Wednesday 21 September? If Anto said "pushed on/pushed up/ pushed through" once, he said it 673 times, FFS! And what about: "That's the hind we saw last night! Yeah, that's HIM!"..... HIM?? Now hinds have a gender identity crisis? Give me a break!
agree 7mmwsm surprised more deer are not spooked but still enjoy the show
When they're whispering I really struggle to hear what the hell they are saying. The subtitle text helps but perhaps a running commentary of what is happening and why, dubbed in latter when close bush hunting as last night could be better.Quote:

Crook with Covid so recorded it an just finished watching it, bloody ripper episode! Can relate to the tension when they were waiting for that Sika stag to be in position for a shot.
And @Ranger888? I heard it as ‘punched’ rather than ‘pushed’.
But your comment made me and Mrs Finnwolf grin each time we heard ‘punched’ we couldn’t help it:D
Finnwolf...yeah, I meant "punched"! I was half asleep when I wrote that! Onya!
That's a bit rough, Anto wasn't even in the episode at all!Quote:

Just an observation that there’s less chat about any duck or bird episodes. People who are bird hunt no doubt love those episodes but seems there’s less general interest. I'm sure while you’re doing it its exciting and awesome fun with mates however for TV the scenery doesn’t change, the stalk part isn’t as exciting, etc. Is there a way to make bird hunting more exciting to watch?
I think it was Andre doing all the "punching". Hard yards in the Kawekas for a couple of meat animals but great message to convey about responsible animal management and health of eco system - animal & forest. The sika stag footage must be bloody hard work for camera man, hats off to Dave. And very challenging with 3 guys when in that close, its no wonder its taken a few attempts to get Sika stag footage.
Not a fan of the bird episodes, but not a duck hunter. However I worry about how some of the footage and images will come across to non outdoors city dwellers & how their view or perceptions of hunting/hunters will be shaped. I can see the likes of PETA, twig n tweet and other anti's using these images to reinforce their arguments.
yeah I agree with Chainsaw the image of little duckys getting blasted out of sky likely not go down well in some quartersQuote:

Variety critical I agree - hence Chukkar, Quail, Pheasant, Canada Geese included alond with Ducks in past couple of bird based hunts. Otherwise too one dimensional.Quote:

I never even noticed the "punching" lingo, despite expecting it to drive me up the wall after reading about it on here before watching the episode.
Another excellent episode. The gripes mentioned above are insignificant. The relief and satisfaction on Marty's bearded face when he pulled off that tricky 400m shot was worth the admission price. And Dre's sheer joy at downing that Sika stag was priceless too. Well done again.Quote:

Great show again, like the bird ones too even though I don't hunt birds. I watch this as the only program that the tv gets switched on for.
FFS, if you don't like gamebird hunting don't watch it, simple. There are probably a fair few people out there who would like to see more shows like this.It was a good watch, showed that they could miss easy birds just like anyone else, also showed some good shooting and showed what a good work ethic Spaniels have. They can be a bastard to keep in at times when they're so keen. Overall another good show.Just to clarify, I'm a gamebird hunter as well as game animal hunter. Only missed 3? sesons in last 46 years.
Has there been an episode with Chukar and quail in it?Quote:

I dont hunt game birds but love watching the Duleys and their duck shooting.Plenty of action there.
Be nice to see some pointers hunting quail or chukar but very difficult to make good tv out of it.
That young fella did quite well managing a light 20ga shotgun although it seemed they handicaped him with 3 inch magnum loads.......................ouch. Would have booted more than a 12g
Don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s an excellent series!Quote:

And the duck/geese hunt? Bring it on, awesome aerial footage and shooting action.:thumbsup:
Yep. Series 6, Ep 7 - https://vimeo.com/ondemand/huntersclub6/Quote:
