Some awesome trophies and tonnes of primo meat on this thread. Congratulations and heaps of envyto all of you!

Saw a cracker stag yesterday so went for hunt early this morning to see if I could find him but the wind wasn't rite so I headed north instead, bumped into a young 9 it gave me a bit of a fright at 10 meters away , then spotted a couple of hinds next gully over but couldn't see a stag with them so carried on until I came to a ridge as i got closer I could hear a couple of stags roaring 1 didn't sound to far off. the ridge dropped away quite steeply giving a good view below & once I crested it could hear the stag very clearly I slowed rite down until I found a spot I could sit & take a shot from he was there somewhere in the manuka swamp I thought I may catch a glimpse of him as he passed through some scrubby clearings so I gave a roar when he answered I saw movement & there he was laying down under some manuka 250 meters away & down hill I waited for 10 minutes watching him sometimes he would lay his head rite down resting then a stag would roar & he would reply after a while id gotten my self into a pretty good position on my pac so I squeezed of a shot thwack he stood up shaking his head around I put another shot into him thwack 2 paces he was gone I got down there & plenty of blood around then bone a coulpe of bits looked like tooth I thought F iv hit its jaw after that it was like stalking a wounded lion just as well I had 26 inch barrel I could part the flax first with it before I took a step after 40 slow meters I could hear a gurgling sound closer then there he was I finished him off , as it turned out he was fatally hit but both shots kind of went through his shoulder blade instead of into his chest cavity he was a big stag in prime condition I took his back steaks & headskin which looks great seemed a wast to just hack his head off & leave the rest...Good Luck

Bloody primo!

Great stag, bloody fat!

Great condition alright, be great eating, think I'd be going back for the back legs.
