Great video mate. Us inexperienced hunters really appreciate people like yourself taking the time to pass on the knowledge. Thanks for your insight.

Some random thoughts. My most successful bush stalks have been in heavy rain. It's miserable, but rain covers noise and scent to some degree. Damp foliage also makes less noise under foot than dry leaves. I know camouflage is controversial, but agree that whites faces and hands aren't helpful. Bow hunters are very good at covering up. Lastly, I understand why people wear blaze orange and deer have different colour perception, but they are good at seeing UV reflectance. I bought a UV torch and it was an eye opener shining it on my hunting clothing. I have to say that my few blaze orange items looked as bright as a fire under UV light!

Someone once said spend more time looking and listening and observing and less time moving and you will gain a better understanding of the environment

Mate. You are great teacher. I have retired in Bombala- Wyndham area.  I accidentlyt shot my first sambar spike in May 21. Was watching and learning from Your videos. Since May 21 I have harvested more then 20 deer (sambar and red deer). I have lost the count by now.  Some of them on Public Land. You are a great teacher.  Thank You for your video.

Great work pulling this video together Profty. I got a lot out of it and I know others would have too. Keep up the great work and positivity. Chris

I'm not a big fan of adds but tbh I love your videos and anything helping you make more I'm all for it and you really deserve it!

Keep it up!

Nice one Profty, great video to hand on some tips!
I'd also add a few. When walking/stalking, have some awareness of the recent weather. A wet night will have softened the leaf and twig liter on the ground, helping you walk quietly, whereas a dry day will crisp them up.  I do mix a bit of stalking and then stand still for a minute.  But for newbies, practice real stillness. Find a good place to sit and look out. No fidgeting or snacks with noisy wrappers. Sit and practice listening and looking. How far can you hear? make a map in your head of where  some distinct sounds are coming from. Eg is that a bird's warning call? Perhaps pigs or fox over there. Once you are able to be still, Nature will come out - and some of that will be game.

Really excellent video thanks.  Content on the mindset of hunting, especially as it relates to hunting in NZ and Australia is very thin on the ground and this video covers some of the key aspects brilliantly. It's great work and greatly appreciated.

Mini master class. I downloaded this when it came out with realplayer and just rewatched it. So insightful, so appreciated. You can tell when someone is talking about stuff that they really know about, brilliant, much thanks.

this is probably one of the most important vids youve done.  greta stuff, food  for thought.

That demonstration of being quiet got me 😂

Thanks Profty. Some good info in there. High ambition, low expectation! I like that!

How have you only got 25,000 SUBS BRILLIANT

Thankyou for this video profty.. will use this in the bush.. specially the face and hand covers.. loving the content mate

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Some good tips profty    Stalking with the sun at your back is a good one,   We don’t like looking 👀 into the sun. Nor do they,  but it comes with a problem,there’s 2 of you now. Eg your shadow.  Even in your video you made a shadow, too over come this is too walk the shadows of the trees, or make your movements when the sun is covered by clouds,, but all Is nothing to smell.   Keep up the good work mate.  🐻

I use a slip on neoprene camo barrel cover for the reason you mention. I spotted a mate in the bush with camo one time and all I saw where his white hands. Big lesson!

Love your work mate! As a beginner hunter. Every tip you give is gold!

Second-Great video ! The bastards keep hearing me coming ill go quiet as a mouse for awhile (like when I think I smell deer), then decide nothing is around, so I move a bit quicker/twig, and.. I hear them crash off.. I've got to be more patient, and plan longer stays in the Bush to take the pressure off..

Man thanks for the super helpful video profty. Most appreciated mate. Respect
