The Roar - Let's see some photos!

Bloody ripper! Well done & cheers for sharing!

I am jealous, that is an absolute ripper of a fallow, well done!

Fuk, he must have a bit of Moose jiz in his DNA....a pearler!!!!!!!!!

That is a ripper well done, the huge rack makes his body look small.

wow that is something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done shit hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is awesome:cool::cool:

Thanks for putting it back up. That boy is inspirational and majestic. Congratulations.

Well done R93. I would rather have you shoot that Fallow Buck then some wanabe hunter who takes his rifle out of the closet once a year and boll it over. Well deserved in my books.

Thanks for putting the pic back up as I also missed them first time.
To me that epitomizes what a fallow buck trophy is - beautiful and majestic

what a ripper dood well done :thumbsup:

Brilliant.

Ill crawl back under my rock now.

Cracker @R93 be proud mate

haven't seen any pots yet with a good Sika shot on public land this roar. have I missed the post or have they been elusive so far?
We will start hopefully this weekend :pacman:

That is a bloody wicked animal. And looks like it was shot with wicked rifle as well ....

I appreciate the positive comments fellas. We knew there would be speculation around this animal. And to be fair, I suppose it goes with the territory.

Most speculation is driven by jealousy mate ;)

Wow dave he's a ripper! And had an awesome coat on him to boot. I had to go back to find the pic that was removed before I carried on reading.
I'm glad you put it back up. Congrats

Are there any still roaring around the country now, or has buck fever changed too duck fever?:D

Still going.

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.

While nothing compared to R93s magnificent beast here's a couple I got over the roar, Ruahine Red and Ahimanawa Sika

Nice open bush there hillclima

Hey Hillclima, how did you get your drop chart to stay on your stock?.

I use clear duraseal(??), the stuff your cover school books with, works a treat

Yes it was, the deer had eaten everything in the Ahimanawas so was really really open and great to travel in

Have you not seen that one? Its the 280AI I built after you convinced me what a great calibre it is. Tikka T3 reamed out to 280, fluted bolt, machined action, 18.5 inch barrel, stug stock and March scope

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.
