great subject really a number of areas will have benefitted from new blood from escapees but mainly red and fallow populations - but new blood - well imagine if the crown wapiti herd were released back into Fiordland - that would do a lot of good - I hear a moan that elk bloodlines from America have been bought into that crown herd - I would see that as a good thing - fallow Wanganui has suffered from poor genetics for a long time - new blood is about but not enough -there has been some releasing of better fallow genetics- a lot of releasing has gone on in Taranaki of fallow and generally good bloodlines - should see some better heads coming out - but sadly there are bloody idiots to I have heard of wapiti cross being released down Waverly way - stupid idea- stuffs up the local red population if say a young hunter wanted to enter the head in any competition - but then many of our deer populations have started from very small numbers - sika sambar rusa white tail - the only new blood in has been red elk and fallow
I'm with Big bear, discussion for another thread.
Well done @Tasbay post up as many of those photos as you like[emoji106]
Any animal shot with homemade powder and a 50cal ball is a trophy regardless of its size, type, age or orientation.
I would love to watch that happen.
Super cool [emoji41]

Thats a great pic. What sort of delay is there between pulling the trigger and the thing going off? What was the range?Quote:

I've taken a bit of crap here for posting that photo, but then I knew I would.Quote:

No need to apologise, they aren't protected! Lugging that cannon around the hills anything is a trophy. Good stuff.Quote:

Well done young fella, what a lovely shape on that head.
That’s a excellent stag well done , I think anybody would be fizzing if they took that big boy.
