Peter you’re an absolute legend. I really hope people understand how much knowledge you have and how willing you are to share it. KZfaq needs this to be the top result in the algorithm if anyone searches for Sambar. This man has forgotten more about Sambar than the average hunter ever learns. Look forward to seeing you again. 💚 John McCabe

Mate, I was glad to scroll along and find this pop up and see that it was 1.5hrs long . I knew it was going to be good. Really appreciate your efforts. I've hunted them 20yrs and I've found a hand full of little things you've said that I hadn't thought of or picked up on. Great stuff thanks a lot.

@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq 21 күн бұрын

Thank you, as for finding open country. It took my brother and I years to sort out good stalking country simply by looking and putting in the hard kilometers (miles). I Eastern Victoria, high rainfall at lower elevation generally produces thick forest. Eg. Noojee. However high rainfall at higher elevation is often the opposite. Eg. Alpine National Park. Google earth helps but it still requires covering and physically searching country.

What an absolutely brilliant video mate! I'm a novice at deer hunting, recently got into it in the past couple months. I hunt varmints but deer is a whole different kettle of fish that's for sure! I went to Mansfield area during the Anzac long weekend and through to Jamieson but no luck due to lack of knowledge on my part. Didn't do research prior the trip but I definitely learnt a lot just by being out there and experiencing and exploring the area. I would love to if in the near coming few months to see if I could join you on your trips and learn from a veteran like yourself! Other than that, lovely video and very very informative! I have picked up a lot of important information from this video itself! Keep it up mate!

Hi Carr, it's taken me a while to reply I've been away hunting. Sambar hunting is a long road of learning but be warned it can be addictive. You are off to a good start in the Mansfield/Jamison area. Sambar Hunter's edge is also on Facebook as well as my personal page. Peter Burke. Feel free to contact me via face book. But be warned it can take me months to reply if I'm in the mountains. (No internet.) thank you for your comment.

G’day Peter,I was getting my standard KZfaq Sambar Fix tonight and I luckily stumbled across your channel.What a fantastic,informative presentation on being able to find deer sign and decipher what it all means.Hunters both young and old will benefit greatly learning from your many years of hunting Sambar in Victoria.I hope that more senior Sambar hunters will have the opportunity to pass on their vast knowledge for the benefit of the next generation of ethical hunters.Much respect,Rob A.

Thank you Rob, I also hope more hunters pass on their knowledge. When I was a young hunter, I was fortunate enough to be set a good example about the value of deer knowledge. Passing it on is better than taking it to the grave. Good hunting Rob.

Hi Peter at about 39 minutes you say its almost impossible to walk up on a deer in this sort of bush. Is that because it's very open and the deer can see you coming?

@eddie8017 Ай бұрын

Thank you so much for putting the effort into making this video for us. just a question, if I find all these signs and tracks that were shown in the video should I sit and wait or is it best to continue walking and looking for the deer from your personal experience

@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq Ай бұрын

With sambar, I would not be inclined to sit and wait unless the sign was very concentrated and indicated an area of heavy usage by sambar. Such as crops or pasture that was consistently attracting sambar. I am inclined to keep looking for the deer in the general area where sign is present at a very slow pace. However, other deer like hog deer are a better sit and wait option.

@dtomic17 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge this is very informative and valuable information for a newbie like me * 3 years in so far and I still feel like I am only beginning.* could I ask you to show us how you scout our areas and what to look for on google maps, earth, terrains etc. I feel like the biggest obstacle is finding quality areas! Thank you

@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq 2 ай бұрын

A video about selecting an area to hunt is on my list. A very long list I may add. However, there is no short cut to finding good country, especially for stalking. This is where recognizing sambar sign plays a significant role. Once we understand sign interpretation it helps us recognize good sambar country. It helps us understand deer numbers without seeing deer. From a stalking perspective, I try to hunt country with good to reasonable visibility. 100 meters is a good yard stick for a bush stalker. But even a good area is highly variable. If you can't see them, you can't shoot them. Google maps is useful, but it can be misleading.

@dtomic17 2 ай бұрын

@@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq you have a very good way of teaching and hence I think you will excel in your videos. The issue I have been facing is finding area with decent open planes to glass or look through. Most places are very thick or steep that I have tackled. I find plenty of sign and get honked, but just cannot execute a visual or a shot. I find it sometimes difficult to understand where these other youtubers find all these good open land that is not private 😅 with all these deer's running around openly.

@SambarHuntersEdge-lf2qq 2 ай бұрын

The is some remarkable footage on KZfaq especially from the high country in the Alpine Park. But there are also a lot of videos where deer are not seen or taken. Just like fishing, there are red letter days but there's more black days. I'm not a big fan of very open country. If you are getting honked at a lot, it's because the deer is seeing you first. Most sambar stalkers move to fast, 400 meters an hour is about right for me, and I still get busted more than I would like! Sambar hunting is a long apprenticeship and there are no Master tickets. Just like super glue, stick with it.
