    Young fella then stalked in with me, he was shaking with excitement as we closed the gap.
    Such a cool hunt, he got to see it all (except the stag before the shot), when to roar and when not to (99% not on this hunt) gaining height, using the wind and closing the deal.
    Such a great learner- he was timing his movements to the stags roaring when he noticed I was doing the same. Proud dad moments eh.
    Yeah stag is decent for a peripheral fiordland bush animal (I’m stoked with him as a trophy for a great hunt) and the spots are unusual, big mature bodied animal still has good fat reserves. I should be better at ageing but to me he’s mature and thinking about going back, there is a weird possible 13th point at back of antler low down near bey tine line.
    He was roaring well.
    I’ve got a ten pointer from peripheral fiordland that is an absolute spitter for that stag. Cool to see its a genetic thing rather than fluke.
