i was just thinking the same thing, he looked so out of is element but it looked like he really enjoyed it

Didn't he hunt like this in Hawaii too? There's a good video on it. Not sure which time came first

He does that so well all whenever it comes up

Hence why he's such an inspiration to so many of us

When he gets out of the water he can chamois off..... Chamwow!

"Ya shittin' me m8?"

Right? He already mentioned a boar ripped off someone's calf muscle before!

There were some subtle awkward moments where Steve was like, "oh really" and Darren was thinking...."I thought you said you were a hunter" but it's all for the cameras, like the totally unnecessary low shots of them walking weirdly close together

@@metningsniva3856 they need a little itsie bit of scripted dialogue to make the show televisable, but I think steve is way more authentic than the usual outdoors tv host.

as a kiwi it did make me chuckle, lol

I’m a big rugby fan, so I’m used to the sound, but for the untrained American ear, “it sounds different than it’s spelled.”

I'm indigenous and Canadian media will subtitle us sometimes 🤣

i was thinking the same thing haha

no problem for this canuk to understand :)

Ahhhahaha classic orange boy

that was my first thought.wow thats a damn nice land cruiser.

kudos to you gents.my kinda people.

bruh same i didn’t even know what to do... wish i could hit it three more times

We got some nasty bitches out here lol they love the pig nuts.

same

two hands a knife and 4 DOGS that do all the work.

There mayyyy be a inbetween in there somewhere lol....

this is real deal old ancestry type hunting lol

This is how we hunt here in NZ

Sitting in a tree stand or blind with bait out is a pretty poor excuse for hunting IMO.. stalk them on foot that’s where it’s at

Never too late to get into it. Great part about hunting is it’s equal opportunity enjoyment

No one in my family really hunted either, so my much older cousin, would drive up from Florida to Colorado to take me hunting. I was 14 on our 1st deer hunt, I did about everything wrong. LOL We have hunted together at least every few year (As tags and time would allow) Now he is 78 and this year I spent my vacation driving up to where he lives now to go with him while he hunted That's over 40 years of hunting together.

@@lanehale5669 i am beginner hunter any tips

@@barrettkincheloe5829 I'm in no way an expert but I've hunted with my dad for over a decade now and these are just a few of the things I can think of from when he first introduced me to hunting, 1. Safety is king, know your firearm/bow inside and out, know everything beyond your target, and be 100% sure of what you are shooting before you shoot. 2. Start small, be humble. You don't need the newest and most expensive gear to hunt nor do you need to hunt the biggest and most exotic game. A single shot 12 gauge or .22lr have both probably killed more squirrels and rabbits in the United States than any other animal on the planet. Both are great intro firearms and intro game to hunt. 3. Know your regulations and state laws. Also with this is knowing where you can hunt, private or public, and what rules both have. There are plenty of blogs from Field & Stream, OutdoorLife, Meateater, etc. that expand on what I mentioned above and go way in-depth on different techniques and strategies for hunting all types of game so if I didn't cover what you were looking for exactly try searching through their websites too. It also helps to find a mentor, family, family friend, classmates, etc that can help to introduce you to the area and techniques. The biggest thing I have to ask is once you have learned enough and are proficient on your own, please don't hesitate at the chance to help new hunters in the position that you are in right now. Help educate and pass on our lifestyle because that is what will help keep it alive. Stay safe and best of luck to you

@SkankHunt42 i am 11 and taking my hunter ed but thank you for that now i cant wait for my first hunt🙏😃😁

And just think that other dude goes out 4 days a week bro

its nuts bro, you're in there 2 feet away from a pissed off 200lb pig, 3 dogs running around, nothing but a knife in your hand, it's stupid exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Chur bro

Yeah this is a really common way to hunt pigs here in Australia sometimes it's the only way to find em in thick scrub

This is incredible. So raw.

As a newzealander this may be stock standard around here but I don't recommend you Americans try it with all the predictors out there. Alot of dogs die to boars over here too

Middle Earth****

That's why we call it godsown

Imagine being that close with nature... I can't wait to get my hunting license and start hunting.

@@theegyptianconqueror7100 We do, mostly goat and deer with guns. Deep bush like that with is just easier, some people bring rifles on a pig hunt just incase things go south, but a knife is the standard kill.

could be the etymology of the phrase

Damn going to delete my comment now...

@@Hypnopotimus27 that's something I wondered.

Ive been told that's where the saying comes from

literally

Good old New Zealand Forest Service, wouldn't have all those huts without them.

Struck me as just way more up close and personal than what he is used to. But he embraced and seemed appreciative for the experience

It would be interesting to see how he reflects on the experience now. I would say he will never forget it.

then that’s on him. he knew what they were going to be doing before filming even started.

@@8.21productions9 I can forgive him the difference between "he was told" and "he knew". I think he did great once he was in there.

The only accents I struggle with are none native English speakers on occasion and some British accents. And there are some American accents that don’t sound English so there’s that

@@jackjon7763 I'm a Kiwi boy and my partner is a full on Geordie lass and it took me about a year as well as her slowing her speech down for me to stop saying aye what was that😂

I'm a kiwi and I couldn't understand the fella, South islanders aye

Oi crikey m8 im a yank and i dont understand a damn thing yee blokes be saying. No im just joking haha. Yes your accent and slang can be hard to decipher from time to time. Are American's accents hard to decipher? If yes or no, why do you think that is? And is it a bad thing to sound intelligible?

Yeah, and not some behind the wire hunt

@@jamesl3567 Nah good eating that

Australia, New Zealand......same, same. But different. But still same.

Hu it's standard nz hunting man ,

Never say never

When something dies, it’s blood flow stops. Without blood flow, the vampiric fleas and tics will eventually jump ship. So with the time it takes to gut and prepare the “pig backpack”, there shouldn’t be much worry for becoming their new host lol.

Pig fleas and ticks don't attack humans.

@@henrywaehling7366 Incorrect. They don’t discriminate when it comes to warm blooded animals lol.

@@Braeserker we don't really get ticks here in New Zealand so its not really a worry

@@callumb7122 and that's another reason I should move to New Zealand.

I was thinking the same what a lucky man

Just was i was going to say. I don't think I would dare to hunt like this. And wild pigs are a little bit bigger where I live and a lot more vicious than I've seen here. People get killed by them.

Yeh the New Zealand bush can be pretty thick and unforgiving. When I was inexperienced I would always end up with tons of scratches and gashes from the plants, one of them called bush lawyer for a reason. In the pine plantations the blackberry and gorse is a huge pain as well.

The more I see of NZ the more I like it over Australia

taniwha

Unfortunately some places don’t have firearms or if they do, the ammunition is very limited. I respect you respecting the hunters that do this, I’m one of them and from hunter to another it means a lot. 🦌 🐖 🐇 🦘 🐐 🐻 🦆 🐠 🦃 🐗

@@loudmouf9246 I get that, and I'm not saying it doesn't do the job. But considering the lost months, medical bills and a rehab I went through, I'd rather not not get close to a boar unless I'm putting it in the freezer. If you take on hogs this way, good on you. I just don't want to risk getting gored a second time.

@@randysparks1271 oh hell, yeah no don’t do that man I totally agree. My best friend lost his best dog to a boar here in Australia back in January. Big 180 pound boar. You from the USA by the sounds of your medical bills?

@@loudmouf9246 yeah Tennessee. Tore thru the back of my knee in a overgrown canebreak. 346 pound boar with four inch tusks. Somehow split my kneecap in half. Happened when I was 17, I'm 27 and just got it payed off.

@@randysparks1271 ten years for a new knee. Wow. In Australia that would of cost 1K tops with healthcare. Can I ask how much? I’m 28 dude and it’s a pleasure to meet you. You have twitter?

Lol. Good ears!

@@LaurenMiddleton28 haha thanks!

braddah Steve hanapaa one ulua would be killah

@Dyslexic Lives Mattress If Steven Rinella were to hook and fight a grand trevally on rod and reel that it would be an exciting thing to see.

@Dyslexic Lives Mattress its called pidgin english

Look up svord knives www.svord.com Very easy to sharpen high carbon steel. Made in nz. Steve's knife is a bit short for a tradition sticking knife and lacks a hilt for stopping the hand sliding forward.

@@slidenyo thank you very much, friend! I will visit the site.

I'm sighting in my rifle for deer season

@@RuralRootsLiving Nice.

I'm on my way there too!

Just got out of the field

Best of luck to Y'all

@%#!?*%& ratshit bro. Gutted for ya. Have a spare bow for sale if you're in need... ;) Hope you get sorted before the apocalypse! Just a matter of time on blades to bro. I'm a farm boy, it's illegal to carry my most used tool, a pocketknife in some P!aces already. It's fucked bro.

@@user-ii1iy8fz1d I know! In Canada it’s illegal to protect yourself with a pocket knife... you’re literally supposed to let them rob you and then let the cops deal with it...

@@matthewsilveira4749 yeahin Namibia and South africa its murder if you shoot or stab someone while hes in your home with gun or knife, willing to kill you

Man what a shit week for us gun owners. Mine just sank into the lake too! So did all my buddies!

@Sinatra OG thats the joke
