yea @Pongo12 where are you?this thread looking a bit average this year so far

Sorry team, ive hung the stag hunting boots up this year. 1st time in 20 odd years I haven't gotten right into it.
Guided the brother in on a couple and what not.
Walloped a couple with the .357 as ive been in native pig hunting but that's about it, been flat out chasing the hogs around with the dogs so the poor 7mmsaum is retired to the safe.
See a few nice looking stags you chaps have walloped, good work and happy hunting.

Mother of god what is all holy and precious

If I managed to get 10% of this in my lifetime. I will die a happy camper.

Glad that's the reason @Pongo12. Was worried you cared about the haters. Get em next year

You guys can lust over those dead heads. That pile of wood excites me. Looks like Matai. Something that is like gold around here.

Nothing a welder and some heavy duty crusher screen or such won't fix. In the days when Rata was plentiful here there were some "unique" looking fireplaces also.
But then fires places were made to last, not like these modern things that crap themselves after the first winter of burning native.

That was back a year or 2 ago. Think I sold 170 odd heads, yes all wild.
Yea thats a mix of maire, matai and totara, goes good
