    Thanks mate! Yeah it was something else seeing 4 on top walk through the crownfern! Makes it even more special that it was in a heavily hunted area not known for good stags on average. One of my hardest stalks too.

    Some from the weekend. Not on DOC land, so they don't count in my mind- but I'm not a trophy hunter in any event so the meat is the point of the exercise.

    My first roaring sika, pretty young animal but will make good salami. Next time will be looking for a better set of head gear. Awesome experience, stags going nuts round camp overnight.

    Couple of roars heard today...some cool interactions in the bush with 5 stags seen and 1 shot.....fantastic indications from the dog, with me stuffing the first one.... but this one didnt get away... bush very dry and challenging with extra leaf litter around, but then we could also hear the stags moving about too....

    its been a strange roar eh Hamish. 2 days ago (26th) I saw a stag (a poor head) herding 6 hinds and yearlings. It's pretty late for that.
