My best and only Sika stag for 2024 so far shot last Sunday. Shot at a distance of 10m with Brno 243 and Remington 100 grain.
Still trying to find that ellusive 8 pointer.

Bella and an average one just recently. He still had that musky rutting smell.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Had a cracker year so far, a really nice fellow buck and a pretty decent red. Both shot at 500y with the same gun in the same gulley 3 weeks apart. Funny how that happens, right place right time for these ones thats for sure
What a bugger he broke one!
Branch stag, old 9 points
he's an old boy, definitely going back.but was shot bush stalking with a good mate so means a lot .
75/15/10 black powder matters
Well done for a June hunt MD.
Great stuff MD, well earned
When hunting think safety first
This stag gave me the slip in January and then again during the roar
Hi all
I have posted this pic on the forum before, however I thought I had shot a young up and coming sika when I get him aged from his jaw it turns out he is 10.3 years old. Don't feel so bad now. He was single calling every 5 mins for a couple of hours and was camped a few meters into the manuka. I go close, about 10m and gave a single call followed by a mew and he came in fast, looked at me over some scrub and got an extra nostril from the trebly. The other stag pictured I got last year a few hundred meters away, interesting head with the trey tines turned down rather the normal upwards turn, he was aged at 9.3 years.
Here is this years stag
Do you think the downward points are an age thing or something in the breeding?
