    No but he can tell a good yarn so I bet his story will be one to listen to for years to come and only get better with time.

    Only fitting that it should be him that shot it.

    A mate of mine recently took an NZDA member/friend from his local branch who had always wanted to do a Tahr hunt (85yrs old) he shot a Bull that was 15 4/8” apparently the biggest ever shot by an NZDA member, so they are out there!

    @7mm Rem Mag see if you can track down a photo of that monster 14pt Red shot up the Rakaia 392DS
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Love to see that score sheet & photo, that's pretty impressive for a Rakaia red.
