Thread: Stags Shot 2018

@Pointer Are you going back there this long weekend? if so check the weather, it is looking like crap for the area Second year in a row its turn to custard.

Couldn't get over how wet it was, the ground is holding that much water now heading into winter, I think you're right about a wet winter on the coast will see a lot of slips.

Not back there for a fortnight, will be up the coast this time in a different spot.

That's still a nice stag Pointer even if a bit young.

Just had 4 days in the hills, few deer seen not a roar herd, 13hr walk out today in the rain - great fun

@Smiddy sounds like @R93 is telling you to turn round and go back

Still nothing here - not a squeak
Not usual always start hearing from 24th
Another 50mm rain, that’s 6inches in last week
Weathers looking good again till mid next week for us

They were roaring real well down in Otago when I was down there on Thursday/Friday

Did a 9km loop last night into the mountains after work, once the rain had cleared.

Bit of a rushed mission, but worth the sweat. Stags were ripping into it. Saw a few, long way off tho.

Stalked a couple of spikers. And had a neat run in with a young chamois.













Happy days.

Josh

I think they will crank up starting tonight (my gut feeling)
Could be different up where you going too ??
You be OK - be surprised if you not get into some action - weather looking g8

Tip
Take plenty of beer - still hitting +24c during day

Just been in the hills for 6 days, if it wasn’t blowing it’s arse off it was raining, managed these two, first one was out feeding, poor head on a big bodied animal so he went, second one is an old 9 that I got Bush stalking, fatest deer I’ve ever shot.
deer numbers seen were well down, area has been visited by Hales & co, few moans heard & only found one wallow that had been used, both stags didn’t even have a hint of being pissed up.
