Thread: Stags and Bucks 2023

absolute cracker

Cripes, the heads just seem to get better year on year.

Fallow buck on the deck before the sika next week. Croaking very well

A big old character public land Ruahine Red 8 pointer I shot with my mate Devon @ 4 meters!



I rough measured it at 39" long on the good side (35" on weak) x 37" spread. (i don't know how to measure it but wanted to give some scale)
He had a bloody big body compared to the other stags we shot on the trip.

Holy shit thats massive for the Ruahines. Well done!!

Not a monster like some of you guys are getting but due to bloody COVID I only managed a 1.5 to 2 hour walk down carterton and got lucky on this 11 pointer.

Wow, that’s a very impressive head, heavy timber, 18? pts & looks pretty even. Be interested to know what it measures. Congrats

He's technically 20 but scores as an 18. Unofficial is right around 360DS. 363 but I think will get 5 point deduction for overspend

Shit no. Just private land in canterbury

Heading too a wapiti block 4th period, in for a shock

helped a mate get onto his first stag last week, not a monster but sure had some length to the anters. got a couple weeks of college soon so hopefully they should still be roaring and i can get onto one myself

Well done all, super impressive.

Here's one my wife got, was a very tense stalk, close the gap, he would move, close the gap, move, get him roaring then he would go quiet etc. Was almost 2 hours from starting the stalk to pulling the trigger. He's an uneven 12. Will now have "his and hers" 12s mounted
