Thread: 2020 SHOT STAGS

My first mature sika stag, shot over my dog in the middle of the Kawekas mid June.

I'm waiting on the jaw results but I'd be surprised if he's younger than 10 years old, had no teeth to speak of and just looked like an old animal. Had nothing but a long spike on one side and two points on the other, no brow tines at all.

Good that you sent the jaw in too. @cookie post a flyer for the Hindsight comp up so everyone here gets to see it.

Stalked in. Was heading up a well known creek to flycamp and the dog was winding pretty well. We came around a small corner and the dog was staring up the hill at a bit of a slip with some broadleaf on it. I didn’t know what he was looking at but the stag squealed and started to move off. It was a race between me and my mate to shoot him as he moved up the slip into thicker cover, and I won.

Haha nothing like a race to shoot a stag , iv seen that happen twice & both times the competitors were racing so fast the stag,s won!!

My son's refer to me as "there's one, bang". Maybe its because I've shot a few from under them Naughty Dad. You gotta be quick, I tell them.

@Tahr I’m an advocate of “Bang” your turn next.

Got this in pureora last Sunday,was having a tussle with another stag,one antler looked broken long time back but he was still having a go .

Pics really can be deceiving. This really was a shitty little head from a couple of mornings ago.



And here's what it was like from a different perspective.

Glad to see you wearing pants @Tahr
