Thread: Stags shot 2017

Went out in the tight stuff and put this guy on the deck at 9am, was roaring well as were others. Heard a lot of territory calls throughout the day. Have only started to hunt Sika, I'm hooked.

My first Sika Deer ever, the type of country and stalk for him makes him a great trophy.

Scrubby 8





After a 3 hour carry the truck was a welcome sight!



I'm not working until may so plenty of time to find another!

Great work!

Nice jap but your truck is far too clean

That's a good one for first ever deer .

Great result on the Sika, that's my ambition deer hunting...... they are a challenge.....well to me anyway...!

Good work on your first Jap. Your a keen man to carry it for 3 hours with the head on. Specially through the tight shit.

Good man nice effort for that tight stuff

Hope you gutted it before the carry :-)))
Great stuff - well done - you will be hooked
Miss these fellas

Thanks fellas.
Haha yeah new to sika not to hunting! He was in really good condition just about to skin it now, inches of fat on his belly, so very early days in his rut.
Dundee, want to get to 5000km before I start putting dings in the wagon!

Like very much, well done to all!
I got out for my first walk last night and spooked three hinds nearing the ute, didn't even bother raising the rifle, I don't know who got the biggest fright me or them, they then watched me as I had the wind and I was crouching down. No roars heard at all.
Off to the mighty south tomorrow into The Sounds staying at Puhoenui I think it is for five nights.

Couple of good Central Otago Bucks

Two beautiful fallow bucks well done and thanks for posting
Hope there is a story of the hunt coming....

A couple of cracker fallow bucks there guys.
Smartie that's a pretty good stag for your first sika, well done to both groups.

Shootm will write up a story next week a bit full on with uni at the moment

I like the guards on that common buck. Both would score close to 225-230ish via rough guesstimate. Good stuff
