Wild Fire - New Zealand bowhunting for red stags and sika stags

We’ll do our best to introduce you to a man called Khan Adam. He’s been with The Hunters Journal from the start, so naturally we decided to bring the camera along on a couple of his adventures to show the start of his bowhunting career. This is just one small part we’re showing of Khan since he’s also a businessman, conservationist, hunter, husband and father. Like most hunters will understand, there’s a real balancing act when it comes to hunting because you’ve got your days at work, you’ve got to make quality time for the family, but you’re also trying to carefully use up those brownie points with the wife to lock in those big hunting adventures you spend every other week dreaming about. Khan has been hunting from a young age and he’s made a lot of incredible memories. Now with three young kids – two of them being hardy young boys showing a real interest in hunting – Khan is looking to inspire them.

There are always two sides when creating a hunting film: the hunter, and the cameraman. For me (Cam Henderson – the cameraman) I want to create a film for other hunters to enjoy, relate to and be inspired from. So I’m not worried about filming a trip that always shows a big trophy being shot – although that is what we’re always searching for. I find real value in a hunter taking an animal that’s a trophy in their eyes and on these particular trips, it’s one hell of a trophy for Khan to kill his first stag with a bow. But for Khan, filming these adventures is not just about him challenging himself, it’s also to inspire his kids to explore this lifestyle of being a hunter. And so here’s our film: made during the 2019 roar, and released during the nationwide lockdown from Covid 19. Enjoy the film and some images from the adventures below.
