Got this guy at the end of February, he took a decent tumble after the shot and snapped a couple of tines of and his main beam. Never seen such a fat stag from kaikoura.
Got this chunky bugger today. My best fallow buck and as fat as mud. Whanganui buck.
central Otago last weekend
Shame about the breakage.
Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
Wow nice buck @bumblefoot
Guess they those antlers can’t take the knocks as well when there fresh from stripping.
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
@Sideshow Yeah there are a few chips already. I shot a buck a couple of years ago about a month after the rut and most of his back end were (rump area etc) as covered in nearly healed bruises!
This one is as fat as mud and huge in body size. I carried him for about 200m of the 300m climb to the ridge top, but then we both had to drag him the rest of the way. When we eventually got him to the bike which luckily was at the bottom of the ridge on the the other side it took the 2 of us 4 goes to get him onto it. We reckon that with head off he must have been about 80kgs. He was a horse of a buck!
A couple of Raukumara stags from last week and my son with a Hawkes Bay private land stag.
I thought I better add to this thread.
Keep the stoke going!
Wow thats a beauty
When hunting think safety first
Very nice @Gkp
