damn well done he will remember that he looks so proud and so he should well done

An odd one my mate shot recently in the Ruahines, there was a bit of a wound where the other antler should have been, but we weren't sure if he had always been a one antler stag or it had been damaged.

Old buck, broken leg. Not pretty. So decided to shoot him. Spotted him last night right on dark at 600, came back first thing this morning and he wasn’t far away the same location and confirmed the leg was buggered before shooting him. Cool old bugger, double guards are quite neat. Still a fair bit of croaking going on and a few stags roaring in the distance.

Cheers mate, appreciate that. And yes, I've been lucky on the hunting front over the last few years and am blessed with boys who love the outdoors. Just looking forward to when they can carry their own kit...haha

Wicked fallow ruts this year not so good on the red skins a couple of these will be hard to beat but hoping we will find something in the years to come that will

A couple of very nice bucks there but if you shoot the little ones now the job of finding a bigger one in the future will be harder.

Have to cull out the shit heads for them to get better first, 2 blocks I've hunted fallow in 1 has extremely good genetics thru out the block the other has thousands of animals with most having shit heads so I'll do my best to cull out the crap an have better heads in the future
