Run into a fella who says he shot a 46x46 dead even 18pt stag up a river close to town.
I congratulated him on the new Nz red deer record

Would like to see that too.... Must have very long tines to crack that score for a 12

That would be in a top 5-10 12 point stag ever shot in NZ.
As Mathias says, it must have really long bottom tines to reach that.

A 46x46 dead even 18pt stag would likely break all kinds of wild deer, world records so I think this guy might be slightly confused as he was very ho hum about it.

Theres some tin,y buggers around all the same just saw a pic of really nice 14pt stag shot in an area I go to all iv ever really seen in the area is crap , this young fella rocks up new to hunting & blows over a cracker
I was out on Sunday defiantly less roaring spotted a young stag crossing a gully in a hurry , I gave a roar he came over & checked us out , then spied a better looking animal around a k away he was on the move as well defiantly on a mission waiting on the weather to clear to head back & see if we can find him to get a better look , heading home I spied a hind around 70M away she moved off then a big stag moved into view reg got ready to shoot but when he moved I could see his head it was munted at first glance I thought 1 beam had been snapped in half but turned out his antlers were disfigured he had a droopy ear as well , wondered if he,d been hit with some buck shot or something along the lines should have shot it but didn't incase there was something decent around , iv seen a stag with no antlers twice now both times I had no chance of a shot , they had better look out outside of the roar !

@Boaraxa droopy ears might be the sign of a broken pedicels he may have taken a fall, hit by a tree our he's just hit the locals cash crops in which case he will be meallow eatting

there was a 45" 12 pointer shot between gisborne and hawksbay mate seen the pics and recon's it was massive and huge timber

Hey @bigbear any chance your mate can post pics?

@Sideshow I'll will ask. He was shown from another guys phone etc etc. Al.l i know is the guy that shot this had just shot a trophy fallow buck and had dropped it of to a taxidermist on the way up.

temp has finally dropped. 5 at home at the moment and been raining all night. Big change from the mid twenty's we have been having. Fire going first time this year

Same here lot cooler. Fire going.
