Thread: STAGS OF 2014 SHOW THEM

Had a few days on and off this roar in the bush. Had plenty of other things on so tried to head out on the better days. Started off with a trip to a high country station with pockets of DOC land adjacent to it. First day and a bit out we saw plenty of deer but no deer were harmed. Visited a few days later and two of us managed two stags and a yearling which hung around after the shots:





Next up a few days were spent in Fiordland. First day out we had about 7 stags going, buggered one up and the others wouldn't come in close enough for an ID so were lucky. Another day out I shot a stag but couldn't find him in the chest high crown fern. Looked for two hours but had to leave to catch a plane to Wellington.

Went out again last Sunday and managed to get a 13 pointer with a reasonable head for an area which normally has poor heads but good numbers of deer.







Won't get out for a hunt again this roar so now just waiting on the first weekend of May!
