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.
