Personal best chanois coming in at just over 9.5 inches.

All of these are super cool, can’t wait to see the rest of what shows up over the next several weeks
Heard a few hee haws, single calls and a red roar yesterday morning. Managed to knock this guy over with my 7mm SAUM when he popped out at 645metres.
Cracker!!!
Solid head. Well done.
Whopper, lucky lucky dog.
That’s very nice indeed
Goldie looking on and happy.
Nice animal.
How long?
Wow, ripper Sika.
Perfect shape head how long was it? CheersQuote:

Two more years he would have been a sika show stag. He had a big body and I guessed him slightly older from distance before the shot so my mistake. Ahwell, he’s dead now - still stoked with him.
Shot this stunning pre-roar stag last Friday. After 17.5km and 1500 vertical meters in the tops the day before, I came back to the hut down in the valley. I woke up early and went for a walk to a clearing on the bush edge when this guy stepped out following a couple of hinds. I was very surprised to see a deer of this quality down there as I'd only seen small deer there for the last year or so.
(by the way I have a question about euro mount sealing products on this thread if anyone has any tips - thanks! https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....7/#post1666109)

After purchasing my first magnum - 300 win mag 18 months ago, agonising over load dev to get an accurate load to meet expectation and a lot of practice at the range at distance, took the rifle up into the kawekas and got my first sika stag at 613 yds - stoked! Attachment 270678
Top rifle, does Kimber make a short action for the wsm?Quote:

8 inch buck.
First one I've shot solo. He was scarparing away and stood on a bluff looking down at me. 405y away and his hooks looked bigger by the 30 degree angle .
1 shot with the 7mm08 bushpig off the pack whilst trying not to slide off the side of a bluff and he came tumbling down. Now I'm invigorated to get a 9"+ buck come May

First Cham for me, touching 9" on the long side. Spotted at 600m and closed in to 150m, the 7mm08 did the rest.
Attachment 270709
I finally get to post in one of these threads!
First stag for the pup too.
Very chuffed
170m with the 308 150gr SST
@Jaro well done that's a great one for ya first! You just wait till the snows hit and their in the winter coat. Well worth a visit to the tannery .Quote:
