As close as you can get to sambar, without getting fur in your eyes…

Join Luke and Jordan from The Huntsman as they hunt Victoria’s High Country for a slow-paced and immersive Sambar deer hunt. This episode of The Huntsman Reloaded showcases just how close you can get to Sambar when you know how to call them in.

From old stags and backward stags to curious young spikers, hinds, and calves, this hunt captures the full spectrum of Sambar behaviour in the wild. Watch as Luke works the calls to draw these incredible deer right into range—showing just how inquisitive and responsive Sambar can be when conditions are right.

While much of the action focuses on observing and interacting with the deer, Luke and Jordan do eventually take a responsible shot on a stag that’s going backwards to harvest for the freezer—demonstrating ethical, sustainable Sambar hunting at its finest.

If you love authentic Australian hunting footage, breathtaking mountain scenery, and real-world demonstrations of how to call Sambar deer, this is a must-watch.
