It is really cool watching her work! Cheers Darrell, always appreciate your comments 👌

Haha yea she gets that little bum scoot on aye, yea i put the steady to the shot down to the fact she hadn’t seen them, or herd them, can be a different story if she does. Cheers

@@deertrackernz2203 Each dog to its own, as long as it isn't costing you animals (if it is it's a problem dog, & probably the majority are). It's preferable the dog gets closer to you as you get closer to the opposition. Ideally not having to shoot over the dog as it makes them deaf. What powder do you use?

@@johnmead8437 yea she hasn’t really cost me any deer, in fact, her little whine that she sometimes does gets deer to come back for a look. Yea that’s why I’ve gone with subsonics, to protect her hearing, and it’s not to often she ends up right in front of the shot. I use trailboss for the subsonics, there are a few others I think you can use.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed 👍

Awesome!!! Cheers for the vid bro. 🍻😎

Cheers Jordan 👍

Cheers mate, yes it definitely is a combined effort making it all come together 👍

For me, the wind scent is ideal because you can pin point where the deer is, and wind is in your favour, and usually the deer is within 200m if meg has a wind, so I know it’s business time. Ground scent you are in for a bit of a ride, can have the wind up your arse at times to, and you just don’t know just how fresh that ground scent is or how long you might have to follow it. Any weather is good really, fine weather is awesome because it’s more comfortable to hunt in, and for me, it’s better for filming. On the flip side, yes, having a good solid breeze and a bit of rain is awesome for covering your noise, and giving good consistent wind scent. Can all depend on the area to, if bush is quiet under foot in dry conditions, then makes sense to go on a good day, but if it is really noisy with lots of leave litter, then a rainy wet day would probably be better. I hunt both conditions and have the same amount of success to be honest. It’s more about adapting to the conditions and getting out there 👍

@@deertrackernz2203 Yeah, makes perfect sense. Actually changed my view on what a "good day" to go is. Great thoughts. Find on those rice crispy under foot days that you put up a lot of deer from bedded in the sun. Keep up the awesome footage. Great when you highlight where the deer is (like circle it or point) as it's hard to see some times on youtube.

@@snoop2477 awesome, thanks for the feedback re pointing deer out, definitely need to do it with the GoPro footage as it can’t zoom, definitely need to sort my shit out with the gun camera😂👌

@@deertrackernz2203 You'd imagine the technology will catch up in the next few years!

@@deertrackernz2203 After a decade ploughing about monitoring poison drop results, concluded that, like fishing, best chance for getting something is being out there after them. And often couldn't tell if being sneaky would have encountered any more than when wasn't trying or particularly interested in them. Often got closer on windy/wet days before detection, works both ways. Tend to make less mistakes in fine conditions, but want to be a bit sharper to get a good %.

Cheers Gregory, yes the dog is an amazing hunting tool, I really wish I had trained one properly years ago!👍

@@deertrackernz2203 The vast majority, hunting or otherwise, are not amazing. They've cost vastly more animals than gained, & most worship those that manage to get to mediocre. Like cats and children, ones own have few flaws. When commercial hunting it was made plain the few times with others (for same reasons, dogs are like their owners) bringing their wonder dog was a risk if it cost a deer, getting, not scaring was the objective & a shot dog ceases costing the livelihood. A happy dog returning after chasing off $1k of velvet doesn't warrant excuses.

Thanks mate, it’s a scope mount on the scope, and then the bottom half of a quick release ring with a modified top to screw the camera to, I’m just trying to modify it again to mount it a bit lower.

Got her from a local farmer in Whakatane, neighbouring dog jumped the fence and got his pig dog pregnant 😂

Hey mate, yes I hand load my subs👍 Yea she is a nice pooch for sure👌
