Defiance action

Brilliant thanks

Stags have started in pureora. Managed to roar him to the edge of the native so nice and easy, bit of a scumbag but good first roar stag for the new saum!

What projectiles and powder are you using? Thanks.

Sacked him but was fairly close so to be expected

Well, this thread has me all fired up for a hunt next weekend. The farm stags over the valley are roaring like hell, which dies nothing to ease my frustration at being too busy with a house build to get away until then. Good mate Ben has scoped a spot and saw a couple of good stags, so anticipation is high...............

Did get a metre kingfish stalking on my 50th birthday last Thursday, though. Sorry that's got nothing to do with the thread - I get confused now I’m officially old!

Hey, 168vlds and RL26. Cheers.

First for the year, small 6

Good true bush stag that bugger.

NOT BAD FOR A 9YEARS OLD.
It took us a while to get in close to him, Had to stalk through a paddock with sheep and then just getting up to where we wanted to be a hind barked at us. binos up and there he was 50m away and time my young fella lined him up he had gone around the ridge. A quick run around the face and he was back in view running. A quick roar and he stopped, boom miss, quick reload and second shot was a hit. Older animal and i recon going backwards. So a good one to shoot.
