Thread: Fallow stag and Angus bull

I can tell you right up that hunting a Fallow in 40 acres can be a challenge (and $1200 is an ok deal for a good buck).

I say this (about the challenge) 'cos I have experience of finding a single deer in a patch of bush.
I shot a deer with a Paxarm when I was collecting live animals and it bolted and must have laid on the dart or whatever and the transmitter never kicked in. I went out the next morning and picked up the beep so I thought I would at least shoot it. The little scrub block it was in was a bout 80 acres. Well, I tracked it on the beeper for a couple of hours and it was always parallel to me and on a different ridge or gully. In the end I thought I was hot and onto it. Cocked my gun and sneaked in...and there was the dart laying in a clearing with a bit of meat on the barb. Deer are bloody smart!

If you want a good Fallow, go for it. No shame.

You are bang on there Tahr, it will be a challenge I'm trying to get a photo of it from the mate. The paddock has bush each end, we had to cull a few hinds out for him and it wasn't easy.
He shot a big guy last year that went just over 200 and this one is ment to be more even and bigger I haven't seen it but The farm owner is a bow hunter and knows a good stag and he's said it pretty good.
