Excellent. We used to call that frost damage. Not sure if it is.

probably only just enough ft/lbs at that range must've been running towards you that would give you an extra flt/lb or 2

Heard two calls just on dark Friday night.

Unsure?? I let one walk that looked similar last year so wondering if it's genetic. Anyway, he's in the freezer now, was nice and fat aswell.

It was lucky he was that close as I noticed a couple of hours earlier that I had snapped my rear scope ring, so I taped it up and kept hunting. Not sure it would have been any good much further out.

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.

very very good ruahines stag mate.bloody brilliant!

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.

I don't think i will be beating this one anytime soon.

A genuine monster

One more hunt in fiordland coming up and that's me done for the roar

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.
