Thread: How's the recon going for the roar?

I will shoot yearling hinds or stags and am happy to shoot hinds from late March thru the early winter months. I just haven't shot a mature hind for years.
I also do not meat hunt areas where I know there is trophy potential.
There are heaps of areas you could shoot a thousand stags and will never harm trophy potential. Especially on the west coast.
But shooting a large body early spring stag with good bez tines and mass or a hind between late October and March for meat is just appalling to me.
Unless you get the fawn as well.😆

I have only shot one mature red stag since 2007. He was wound up and wasn't afraid of me.
I had no where to go. I shot him at 2m with one hand while trying to hide behind a flimsy bungi.
