Hunting Fun

The roar of the Red stags is best when you hunting in Fiordland.It is an experience you will never forget in you entire life.An airy silent feeling creeps over you and when the stags roar or the hinds bark it is amplified ten folded.You can feel she is so unforgiving that one mistake on your part she will take an all mighty revenge on you.It is like the trees constantly watching you and whisper to each other,thirsty for departing soul of a living to replenish their hungry roots.You are charged with pure primitive adrenaline that after ten hours of hunt cure you from you illnesses for years to come.Safe hunting.

I filmed this while deer hunting in November of 2008. The video will explain itself. I took the ability to comment off of this video because there were alot of self-appointed wildlife experts who insisted on telling me how this was a coyote. The first word in the title is “Possible” and like I noted in the video, the two are capable of interbreeding. HOWEVER, if you look at the color pattern of Red Wolves and knew the color of coyotes in my area (mix of creamy tan and gray with white on underbelly) then you too would understand why I introduce the possibility of Red Wolf, or at least a mix. The fact is, I spend about two-hundred hours a year in a deerstand. I’ve killed alot of coyotes. I’ve got alot of pictures of coyotes from my spycams. None of them have ever resembled this animal other than the fact that they are canine. I also observed this animal at less than twenty yards before I turned on the camera, which gave me a pretty good perspective on size. Im guessing it at about 70-80 lbs, which is bigger than nay coyotes around here. At the very beginning of the footage. you may notice two parallel depressions in the grass…These are truck tracks. Kind of puts the length in perspective. ANYWAY, I guess for now I will call it a UCB (Uncertain Canine Being)
