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

thankyou..honesty is refreshing.

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

lovely..the deer isnt bad either....well done the pair of you. awesome to see a lady out there doing it. a his n hers with stags on opposing walls sounds great.

@mickyduck here are the shields we (she) made for mounts

Got the young fella onto a couple. Job done.

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.

No 7mm08 this time of year. We were supposed to be away a week but shot 4 and missed two in the first 4 days. Still have not learnt impulse control. Left gear behind as I had a BIG carry out of meat and the two heads. Meanwhile juniors charging ahead with just his clothes in his pack telling me how slow I am for 5 1/2 hours lol

A couple of nice coastal southland bush stags. My mate come down from Queenstown for a day trip to see how I bush hunt as he hasn't done it too often. Middle of the day a stag sparks up less than 100m from us, I stayed back and roared as he snuck in. A lengthy 40min stalk before I heard the shot, he said he saw it 3 times before pulling the trigger! Thought we'd missed it until we found a very heavy blood trail, almost 1km later we finally found him thanks to my dog and was still alive crook sitting down. Absolutely wrapped to get a 12 out of this area! He was stoked beyond belief too. Top effort from him pulling that stalk off, cunning bugger didn't make it easy only roaring very occasionally. We're thinking the shot only hit an artery.
