Kia Ora team,
Finally shot and gutted out my first deer. Was just a young one. Was lucky enough to be invited out to a buddy’s property whose family owns 800ish acres bordering the bush and they’re overrun. Was an awesome experience and learned a lot, glad I was able to be talked through it because if I had have been doing it alone in the bush I would have been screwed. Can’t wait to get one on public land.

Well done. 1st of many to come. You always remeber your 1st deer. Build on the experience for future trips.
good on ya and a tasty little model to
Nicely done !!
It’s great fun and a great way to feed your family
Well done, that will be tasty, every time you head out you learn a bit more and your skills will only improve.
Well done. I remember my mate cutting up his first deer by himself. He came back with big notches in his knife, said the ribs got in the way.
Well done on yr 1st and it's young and tasty,good shot.
Awesome
well done. still remember my gutting 1st deer what a dogs breakfast
Don't be afraid to enjoy the private ones, no shame in it. The public ones are always rewarding
Looks like a young red still in his summer PJ,s.
I don't think he got the memo.
Congrats man, always good to have someone with you for the first time butchering. I was alone but had chopped up a few sheep on the farm so had half a clue.
Enjoy the feeds, looks tasty.
Good feeling Aye? You will never forget the details of that one
Good on ya. You never forget the first one.
Awesome, my first attempt at cutting up a deer wasn't great so I went home and practised on a couple of our sheep.
Very good. I can relate to that as I shot my first deer in nz from Thomson track but from the katikati side 18 years ago :-)
it took me 10 trips in the kaimai before getting that first one. Over the years I managed to get that average down to 5 trips and now days I am down to 3 trips to get an animal.
So keep going at it , and you ll gradually get better and better. And once you master the hunting in the kaimais , you ll be good pretty much anywhere else in nz.
The three essential tools for the kaimais are a gps to mark the good deer spots and find your way out,a bottle of chalk to indicate the wind direction and some secateurs .
Congrats, such a great achievement and the first of many to come. You often have to work harder for the public land ones but they all taste great!
Well done mate!
Plenty of good eating there!
Good work!!
Congrats mate, always good to get one on the ground....
Good on you. Enjoy.
good job
Nice job.
Deets on the rifle for us geeks?
Nice!
Thanks mate. She’s a Tikka T3X .308 cut down to 16 for the bush but I haven’t managed to find anything in the bush yet. Got about 50m away from this guy and it put him straight down.Quote:
