Bagged this one yesterday 71kg
Attachment 31010
Hmmm still got antlers on. I did shoot one mid November a couple of years back with antlers. All of the male deer reds I've seen lately have dropped, including spikers!! I saw a nice red stag last week who'd already put up all his lower points and was growing the tops out and had about 60-70cm of length on each antler already...that's some serious velvet growth for this time of year on a wild deer. :thumbsup:
Sorry mate should have said I am in the UK , rut has just finished
Nice rack Taff, well done mate....
Wales by any chance?Quote:

Going by the weight I take you took it all out
Nice one, still had antlers was my first thought too:D

Nice Stag, I'd be keen to hear more about hunting in the UK in regards to rules, laws, permits etc. Do you have to draw tags and hunting blocks to drop Red deer?
Hi all,
Ryan, I am Welsh , but live in England at the mo, until I move to NZ in April .
Sako, we always take the whole animal out, our woods are not as remote as yours. I use a drag tray, as my days of carrying the out at that size are over��
One shot, all land is private so no tags, we have seasons for males and females, deer on your land are yours, we can sell them to game dealers if you are a trained hunter (one day course) no semi,s above 22 rimfire, and you need a firearms license.
Nice one, Where in NZ are you locating to.
NZ..Land of the shoot whatever you want, when you want.
Shoot whatever and whenever is IMHO going to ruin NZ deer quality in the wild. We need some seasonal control otherwise all the summer stags in velvet will either get cleaned up by WARO or hunters.
Summer Stags... yup I'm guilty
hasent yet, if anything heads seem to be improving again.Quote:

Certainly has in my area, saw some whoppers over winter
Just don't tell DOC;)
I think my son who was hunting in NZ earlier in the year has taken to the kiwi camo, but it works even here.

Is that a munt jack ? Not much bigger than a hare.

Seen quite the opposite over the last decade, stag quality just seems to be improving across the board in all areas I or my hunting mates hunt. Or maybe hunters are just getting a bit more selective overall?Quote:
