    When I first read this I thought it can't possibly be correct as Gimp doesn't arrive on the Island until tomorrow, however.....

    What a beaut.

    Big alright but doesn't look very even. Might not score as highly as it should.
    This is another big Island head. The photo was taken by a friend of mine a couple of years ago.

    Somewhere on here there is a thread 'taxidermist in Southland' I got a pair of 10point bucks within 10km of where it is rumored this one was taken

    @Shearer saw one of a similar size from the living room (450m over a public road with houses around sadly) too dark for the camera

    That's getting up there, Hammond's from Lake Wakatipu went 207 and I think that's the record.

    Mate shot a huge one on the mainland last year. Will ask if he got that scored as must be up there. Well done @Huntn that is a phenomenal buck
