Chasing a Red Stag with JE Wilds

Chasing a Red Stag with JE Wilds

New Zealand isn’t gentle. The wind, the cold, the climbs, everything’s trying to wear you down. But that’s exactly where JE Wilds thrives. In this hunt, he sets his sights on a mature red stag deep in the high country.

After days of glassing ridgelines and crawling through alpine scrub, JE Wilds finally gets eyes on the kind of stag that doesn’t come easy. With no time to overthink it, he drops to the ground, attaches the SpringBok Bipod, and lines up the shot.

That’s the beauty of the SpringBok Bipod, it attaches in seconds via MagnaSwitch™, flexes with the terrain, and works with you in any terrain.

Shooting with a Weatherby Backcountry Mark V® 2.0 Ti with a 7mm PRC Caliber. It is lightweight, accurate, and built for serious mountain hunting. One clean shot is all it takes.
