Thread: Fallow 2019

Been chasing fallow for the last week.
Plenty of bucks about and they are just starting to ramp up now. Every day we are seeing new animals.

Couple shots thru the spotter of average animals that need a bit more age on them and one thru the phone of a wee yearling that got a fright when it almost stood on me while glassing from tonight.
We have a good buck down and trying to get another couple by the end of next week.

That’s an absolute ripper of a buck. Was that the one that scored 271DS?

id be wrapped to get a stag like that for the wall

Wow

Yes. Unofficial at the moment but always within a point or 2 of official NZDA measured scores.
It will still be easy top 10 in NZ for a wild Fallow.
Not sure if the fella that shot it will enter it in anything but hoping he does.

Mate got 1 this weekend that had treys that split and had 3 points on the treys

About a month ago I shot a buck dropping him on the spot. 10 minutes later I walked over to him and he hopped up and ran away with no chance of a follow up shot. Searched for hours with no luck in finding him. It has plagued my mind as to what happened for the past month as to wether he was dead under a bush somewhere or still walking around. I caught up with him on Saturday night out of pure luck.
He had been hit through the lower chest and the round exited and rested in his upper front leg. He had lost a fair bit of condition and his chest cavity wasn’t in a very good way with a huge amount of puss. Glad to have found him again and figure out how it went wrong. Just goes to show how tough a rutted up buck can be. Got a pig too

Beautiful buck. I didn’t realise there were fallow on the coast?

We are not hunting on the west coast.
However there are a few patches of them on the coast.
