    He was huge and very old. His tusks were just little stumps. He gave me quite a run around before I shot him. Constantly on the move and just the odd roar.

    I enjoy those frustrating hunts with crafty stags, keeps yah on your toes for sure.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Found this old fella Tuesday night. Watched a 6 and an 8 all sharing the same patch of scrub, but this guy had the girls.
    Hope he made the most of it

    He looked magnificent when he was strutting his stuff and roaring. Great big full bellied and swollen neck aged wild NZ stag. I probably wouldn't have shot him if I had seen his poorer side antler. One of the very few deer that I had a pang of sorrow and regret over when I saw him laying there dead. A true old monarch. i've kept his antlers out of respect.
