Got this guy Monday at midday after listening to him go all night and move a 8poiny off the hinds he was with
Not quite mate 180's, although I did see one that would go close to that and of course I buggerd that one up!Quote:

Shot this boy last sunday, any ideas on his age? He's not massive for where I hunt but he's the biggest I've seen since the bucks were in velvet.

Around 4.5 years I’d say.
A couple more Raukumara stags....

Popped up to the N.I in the weekend, drove into the Kaimanawa’s, and found some sika. Shot this stag, he snuck in for a look 8 minutes after letting out a single call, neck shot at less than 10 metres. Boned out over 35kg of meat off him and skinned him out. Saw a couple other stags and a few hinds but let them walk. Good times. Nice short trip, too many people up there, heard over 20 shots over 3 days hunting!

Not many people and 20 shots haha that's either too many shots or too many people for me haha . I heard 3 shots in the kawekas and thought there were too many people and they were all from same person haha . Good effort though nice stag and some good meat there .Quote:

MatiriHunter - if you wish an exact age to your stag, take the one of the lower jaws to your local NZDA branch in your area. The back tooth is cut, polished and the rings counted - down to the month.
35 kgs of meat is a good size stag for a Sika. Were you in Clements? Much Roaring? I'm heading in for a look tomorrow.Quote:

Man so many amazing heads in the thread. Might sneak out for a cheeky overnighter sunday monday to see if anything is going in the Catlins. Havent got a mature stag yet.
