    Once you have done the lot you can start on ticking them all off with the bow, now that would be a challange. I would love to get a chital, they are nice looking animals

    Thats the great thing about bows, got my fallow down there but a long long way to go!
    Chital are more beautiful in real life than even the pics, theyre just so stupid its not really hunting. They are herd animals that live in open plains and you can easily get to within 150 m from them while they're looking at you (in a car even closer) before they'll move off. also because of dingos they dont like to stray too far from farms so they're always within 5km. The challenge is that the difference between a cracker and an average head is only 3 or 4 inchese which is hard to judge on the hoof.

    They'd be a great challenge with the bow though and thats what I'm planning on doing in the next couple of years

    Just thinking what their is

    Goat

    Fallow
    Sika
    White tail
    Chamois
    Tahr
    Rusa
    Sambar
    Wapiti
    Moose?

    I have them up to chamois hopefully get a tahr and sambar this year. Once I bag one of each I will start on getting fussy with trophies!

    Any others for the list?
    I have done all the UK species.

    Red
    Sika
    Fallow
    Roe
    Muntjac
    Chinese water deer
    Wild goat
    Wild boar

    Just need to make a start on the rest of the world now.

    Cheers

    Here's my 2 reds from this year.



    And some other old stuff. Not even sure where they all are now.



    Tahr (12.75")



    Chamois (10")



    Here's a beauty from the meat days when I was a bit younger ...



    And here's a cast that I picked up in the Ruatiti public land 4 years ago...



    Anyone can get this stuff. The secret is doing the hard yards and living long enough. I have been fortunate so far with the latter, and not very good at the former

    Living by that motto is what keeps me in the bush!
