No one else hunting? Stags were going crazy last weekend…
Cleaned him up, scores 314
Interesting comparing the skull of the two above, the big one is heavily fused, the smaller one still obviously stitched which I understand means skull is still growing.

I was out in North Canterbury on Thursday a week ago with my son and we spent quite a bit of time watching quite a big stag feeding with a spiker.
I’m certainly no expert but would have thought if they were close to roaring then these two would not be standing together feeding.
It takes around 3 hours to walk out of this area, which we did after dark, and didn’t hear a murmur on the way out - but did see two hinds and a yearling feeding on the side of the road within a couple of minutes of getting back in the car.
Yup, echos my experience earlier this week, heard 1 distant roar, got one reply then nothing....it was rather warm and North West so not really surprising.Quote:

No doubt, just the day I went it was very quiet. I'm sure they are fired up. Just not on the day I was out.Quote:

Jeez thats a good looking stag
not a murmur was heard today close to here...
Still a bit early for the Sika, a few hee-haws but that's it. The handlebar 6pt did however come charging in to a single call from 700m away. All cull stags, I suspect the 8 is going backwards as he's got a bit of age. Left a promising 8ptr probably 4yo and 160ish DS.

Also cracking stag. Well done
He's got a bad dose of lovers balls.Looks like the long straight S.H.6 Evans Creek on the nth bank of the Wanganui
Yep....pretty much, he was heading towards the Wanganui.Quote:

No monster but a true blue bush Sika stag with a body the size of a yearling Red.
Few heehaws but nothing serious in the Kawekas that I have heard. Came trotting in to a single call.
