Kiwi's don't mess around!

This guy knows how to use a knife!
He shoots the cow with a .223 and then gets to work, i wish i was as skilled as him.
Just a warning, the film is pretty brutal.

We need him and his cooler box truck on an elk mountain!

Now that's a knife!!, and some serious skills. I'm guessing here, but gonna say he's done that before.

 

[Danvet]

Definitely a good humane shot. Now, can he do that at 390 head an hour? That's what is required at the large beef slaughter facilities here (using a captive bolt stunner, not a gun). Not sure of the slaughter rate in NZ or Aussie slaughter plants. Of course, I realize this is not at a large facility, just home slaughter.

The 2nd video is the amazing one. I feel like I'm pretty decent a quartering up an elk and it takes me about 8 times longer than it took him and he does a much cleaner job than I would do.

It was nice that he had the winch and all, but I'm guessing he could do it pretty quick even without it.

The gut pile alone was probably bigger than my last deer.

We butcher our own beef here at home and this guy is IMPRESSIVE. I want him to sharpen my knives!!

 

[backsmasher23]

Guy doesn't mess around...period. I agree, the winch and truck set up is pretty sweet.

Notice his gun has a suppressor?

He must be a poacher.

 

[devon deer]

It was his skill with the knife that impressed me, but also how he kept them razor sharp with a couple of strokes on the steel.
He would make short work of an Elk, and a better job than i did with mine!

BTW, i own a suppressor, does that make me a poacher as well?

You don't see many Kiwis without suppressors, in the states we just say "what's that" a lot

Yes, very common. I have one and find it makes the rifle so much nicer to shoot.

 

[noharleyyet]

Not a single wasted movement...

 

[Bugle 'Em In]

I can't believe how precise his cuts are. That dude is amazing!

 

[Paul j m]

I think I need more practice

 

[Poke 'Em]

I need one of those stands that keeps the animal upright.

 

[Djfan]

Interesting. I need that much practice.

This reminds me of the late cow elk I got in the damage hunt. The land owner was watching us. I shot the cow and by the time he road his quad up to the elk, about two minutes it was gutted. Notice he only takes a straight on shot. It's easy to keep a knife sharp if it's sharp to start with.
