Nice to see some stags hitting the deck. I almost got my first stag yesterday in the bush, almost! He was moaning as I was coming down a ridge, and was about 30m away when I first spotted him trotting around. My legs turned to jelly as I had dreamed of this moment for years, and it was just down to me to make it happen. My god he was huge, the biggest stag I've laid on eyes on in the flesh, big head and body, and some impressive tall antlers with some good girth. I readied myself for the shot as he went into some ferns oblivious to my presence and gave them a good thrashing. This presented no shot so I crept forward a bit as he was preoccupied and stopped hoping he would move out from the ferns and present a shot. He then stopped what he was doing and there was silence. A few seconds later I hear and see him running full tit away. :oh noes: I reflected on what had happen and concluded he had got wind of me. That's hunting for you. Moving on to another area I found a bunch of deer moving through the tight bush. One hind made its way towards me 10m away and bedded down in front of me while a few soft groans came from a stag some 30m away. Stale mate, and I was in somewhat of a pickle as what I should do. I couldn't move or groan like a stag as the hind would alert others once she stood up and looked my way, so I just stood there admiring this hind which then wanted to get back up and join the others which had moved on. I tried to sneak in after them hoping they would think I was one of them, but lost them in the thick stuff. I think I've honed in some key bush skills now, and I'm sure a stag will hit the deck sometime soon. I'll be one happy chap when I do.
Finally shot something to hang on the wall, roaring in a small open section just on day break, zapped him at 268m. Took a while to stalk in on him, a great hunt.

Roared this guy in to about 10m after an hour stand off, this was a really exciting hunt, especially when he single called 10m behind me, shit me pants, man they move so quickly and dam quiet in the bush. dragged him into a clearing for photo purposes.

That's a monster Dave!
Douglas score?
That's a good'n.
It is unofficial yet as it needs to be remeasured 60 days from when shot.Quote:

Mods please remove the pic. I would if I could.

What a beautiful animal, you should be well pleased and fuck what anybody else thinks or says.
Everyone makes their own decision when to pull the trigger and just because shot on private land does not diminish the trophy.
Having hunted fallow for the last 10 years I can appreciate the work you must have put in to get a chance at shooting a great buck.
Hope you enjoy the big boy an the wall and you can spin the yarn over a drink or 2 for many years to come
Cheers

No need to remove it Dave. It is good to see what is essentially the pinical of the species.
Yep that post was not meant to offend... My bad
Awesome buck mate, please leave it up. Well earnt.
Get over your self. :DQuote:

I would never have had a chance at an animal like it, if it wasn't for a highly competent and generous mate who pestered me to go on the trip while filling me with whiskey.
Best thing about it for me was he and my boy were crouching a yard away when we shot him.
My son is still buzzing.

I know mate but because of the size of the animal we knew we would get hammered.Quote:

I didn't get excited at all Toby. To be fair I didn't really know what I was looking at. I do not have much experience with Fallow other than meat animals.
Of course I knew he was big but I have seen a lot of big fallow that my mate has secured for clients. This one looked similar. It was only when he said "If you don't fucking shoot it, I will" that I knew it was good or really good.😆
Even after he was down we were very conservative in our estimates on size.
I am glad I got him but I would have been just as happy if my cobber shot him as he has gotten so many top trophy animals for other people and misses out himself. He is a legend in my book.
He does have arguably and imo the best whitetail shot in NZ.
Had a think and a chat with some mates.
I rather share him with the appreciative buggers on this forum.
Knockers and doubters can please themselves.
The mount will be displayed in the Wild Outdoorsman shop in Hokitika when completed.
Then it will go to my mate, who made it all possible.
He will be the new NZ record as he is a wee way over 270 DS.
That is only of course a bigger one is not taken this year.
