Thread: Stags and Bucks 2024

Daughters first deer and a wee buck at that super proud dad moment she smoked it at 180yards with the rem mag



Then later that day Dad smoked this old 10 at 240 yards with the rem mag as well

@dannyb
Was daughter shooting the same load you used for the Red or did you have a reduced load just for her ? She looks quite young to be using a 7mm RM. Maybe Dad tutored her properly ?
What bullet Danny ?
Good stuff anyway. I approve of ladies getting into shooting / hunting.

Same load, Sako 140gn blade (copper mono) the rem mag is a pussycat with the braked suppressor on it.
Little miss (13 y/o) has been practicing with my suppressed 308win but in reality there is no difference recoil wise in both rifles, in fact I'd say the rem mag was slightly less recoil with with 140gn pills. Will qualify little miss has shot the rem mag at the range prior to this hunt and was comfortable shooting it.

Priceless times theres Danny n Missy,nice colourful photos.

Very well done on both accounts, two nice animals.

Late to the party this year but they are still roaring well in the tararuas.not a bad 12 bush battler but has a broken brow.pin pointed his location from a moan, stalked in saw hinds and hind called which worked well.he stuck his head through a gap and went to the light.

Nice work @dannyb, shit your girl is a chip off the old block. Well done mate.

Wind was all kinds of wrong on my trip.

That top photo....looks like one gully over from where I shot my 10 last week. When were you in there?

3rd period

Had a great week with the boy chasing sika in our Clements road spot, he shot is first one in there last roar and was keen to go one better. He definitely did that!! It was a awesome hunt and stocked for him, proud Dad moment, this year has been a cracker for my crew.

Nice deer and good boy!

that young fella will remember that great effort
