Apart from my very 1st Red Deer.
Believe this or not

Was a 351lb 12 point perfect Royal (wine glass sat in top)
Shot in Kaingaroa Pine Forest just 300m off the Low Level road back in 1976
Broke the Rangitikei meat chiller record weight by 70+ lbs and got photo take by publican then got head stolen by road workmen from Murapara and bloody photo from publican was a failure and never turned out :-(
And yes - you guessed it - never been close to getting "anything" like it since

Made me smile, I’ve taken a few around the low level too... I’m only 40odd but been in there since I was four - watching my dad and poppa in action.

Don't complain about the picture quality, at least it's colour

We were there for a pool playoff.

Yep over 90 % were carried on our backs, used to get a few dollars for the sinues so we always left them on. Beeman I haven't seen that picture for a long time good to see the old Zepher , had some good times honing in that wagon.

Thats the Tarewera Tavern bit further down the Napier track
That stage of mine from Low level took me and a mate 6 hours to drag it less than 250m
Bent the back of the Cortina getting into the wagon

There were actually 2 stags that morning - about to clash antlers - the one that got away was bigger - had I been more experienced withou Buck fervour- would have got both of them.

My best head so far It was a late night

What a cracker.
You might struggle to better that one

That's a damn fine animal, fairly even as well

Didn't get alot of pics and unfortunately i was by myself so didnt get pictures with me in it. I will try and put up a report this week.

Yes I can imagine that selves with antlers that long might be hard if not down right dangerous......hunter impaled would the head line read

That's a ripper bigbear, you should be proud of that one and it might take a while to better that one.

Stag shot by my wife on the weekend.

@bigbear cracker , let us no what it scores
