Thread: 2020 SHOT STAGS

I had to drop down into the crappy creek bush to shoot this stag. Incredibly nasty bush with the creek bed the best way to travel. The wind wasn't quite right for much of the time and once I was into the breeze this one gave me a good fright as it bounded up the hill through the tree's, only to stop and take a look at me. I could see the front third of the body and made a neck shot followed by front shoulder when it got a second wind & stood up again. A good day out in a fairly popular Canterbury area. Didn't see anyone out and about - must've been shooting them ducks!
