    Ugly is the bazillion point head outta a paddock claimed as "free range". That is a cracker head with natural symmetry. I bet your mate is chuffed with it as would I be.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Hi Kiwijames, Any head that is not even has always been referred to as being an ugly bugger lol. Yeah he was chuffed, been keeping an eye on that one for quite some time,very crafty animal by the sounds.

    I had a mate turn up to help build me a deck so thought best take him for a shot so headed for hauroko unloaded our gear in the hut then across the lake ...picked the perfect spot thick, lots of windfall and steep and just to top it off no stags roaring either not even much sign PERFICT but with a stroke of luck when we were nearing the tops got a reply all happened pretty quick he came steaming in he even had to side track a couple of times around fallen trees to get at us ended up only 10 meters away roaring hes head off my mate was all set he lines up the 357 and...click opps safty was on not off !! at 10 meters the stag jumped sideways at the click lucky I already had my sights on him not a big boy but was awsum to see a stag up close ended up a good day until we got back to the boat to find the anchor rope had snapped (still had a mainline on a tree) and the boat was sitting amongst the rocks rolling away in the wash...few dings and water on board not sure how it got there eather a hole or a wave but didn't wait round to find out headed for home sitting rather low in the water for a while !

    Few more pics from the last few days;

    Reds still roaring on and off, had a bit of fun with a couple of young reds, roaring them to within 20m. Hit one with a stone when he came into about 8m to teach him a lesson about humans

    Fallow are croaking well. Spent the weekend chasing them, seeing quite a few younger bucks and only one mature one. Witnessed some awesome buck fights! Got a heap of cool photos, but they're on my laptop. Will add them later. Here's a photo of a promising young buck we left to do his thing.
