Thread: New world record

Lot of hate lads....
I don't really get the whole trophy shooting thing never have and big heads don't float my boat.
But I can tell ya the smile on the old guys face looked bloody genuine and that makes it all worth it for the guide, record or not.
As for the the fat guide come on at least he's out there doing it😀

Ahhh that's where i'm going wrong. Give me a few years it's going.

If peoples have the money what's the problem? Helps the nz economy, tourism is huge and hunting isn't a small section of our gdp this just combines them. Not my cup of tea and hate the look of those heads, much prefer an even 8-12 that's representative.

The old dudes tracksuit at the end is the best, reminds me of my grandma in her 90s.

Just the taxidermy in that room costs more than what I plan on spending on the "hut" at my spot x

I dislike the genetic deformities...the Royal Hart is what the history, tradition and mythology is all about...

a stag with a tree on its head! It's bloody ugly and even if I had a wallet big enough I would shoot it because it wouldn't fit on my wall

You couldn't drink a whole towns worth of beer by yourself but if you invited Gibo and I and made it the King of beers that we were drinking, I reckon we would give it a good nudge.

I sent the video link to my (well read) US mate and here's what he had to say:

" There is a gradual shift in the thinking on this in the US. Once widely criticized, fee-based high-fence hunting, including for imported exotics, is slowly beginning to be seen as another element in the overall conservation tool kit. Even the anti-hunters here are beginning to accept the truth that controlled hunting, in Africa, the US, etc. can be economically viable to the landowners and actually promotes the long term survivability of game (and non-game) species against the onslaught of relentless habitat loss. The downside here is as ever more quality hunting property is leased exclusively for pay-to-hunt, it is much harder for the working class citizen to find decent areas to even meat hunt as has been done traditionally for generations. The fear, and from the trending it is real, is that the US is morphing into the European model where hunting is largely tailored to the well-heeled at the expense of the common man."

Good summary,let's hope we don't go too far down this road

A towns worth if waikato would get him a spiker, if he wants stags it'll need to be steiny
