I know where you live!

I will be looking for this Wairarapa chap during the roar. The dog was a pest while I was filming, she was trying look into the camera lens :)

Velvet Stag - YouTube

Looks like he should be a nice 10, may even sneak another couple of tops on there! Looks like he might have some decent tine length - although he's got that small bez which plagues our herd here.
We also have a big occurance of one missing bez on our stags, do you guys get that often?

He has your name on him Tahr. Go get him late March

late march sounds like the buisness rushy. before the flod of people arrive for the kaos season.

Nice animal ,thanks for sharing

He should be a neat stag if you catch up with him.

Nice stag :thumbup:

The nelson herd is legendary for lack of bey tines or very very small bey tines

And on the wrong side too. I can't shoot on there, it's private land. But there's a good chance he will come over into the bush for hinds during the roar.

This is the one I saw last year in the same place in the velvet.

Rippa stag mate, doesn't look to old either with the lighter timber and smaller coronet, might say something about good blood lines in your area!

If you look closely he is one of those reds with the genitic fault of having a bent face. He's not the first one I have shot like that, but in a different area.

Yes, the Nth Wairarapa produces some good heads.

Looks like you have your shit sorted then:)

Never heard of that fault, does that effect their ability to feed or anything like that? I'd it common or pretty rare?

Its rare. Doesn't seem to affect them. Iv'e seen maybe 3 out of many hundreds over 50 years. Wonder what others think?

Nice!
