Thread: Stags Shot 2018

Suppose I could add my effort. Wasn't going to be allowed to get away due to a few change of circumstances then decided a flyin might be good then my wonderful wife told me on exiting the bush that she and my kid were sick and I should stay down there so I joined my mates for another week. A great woman.
Let a few go that weren't much chop. This one was single calling hard while I lay in the wet shite waiting for the right opportunity. when it came he got a 150grn to the base of the skull at 30mtrs. An awesome hunt sitting for so long right amoungst him and his girls. a shame his head hadn't filled out quite right. last year i got one only 116mtrs from this one. the day after this one we bowled onto the clearing 450mtrs away and a new stag was sleeping on it this guys girls. Must be some good ground.

That's primo CB

Cracker stag cowboy
Almost looks like the left has gone backwards

Yeah he was pretty old. Done his time. Teeth almost gone and going backwards. There was a sunny clearing on the other side of the creek yet this fella held the dark ground that had good views under the pungas. The day after he got the chop, the contender stole his girls and moved to the clearing and nearly got his a bullet for his naivety. The difference between a stag that survives and a stag ready for the freezer. We even got a stag 50m from three hit that just couldn't shut up. I ended up wanting over in my hit slippers after the mate bowled him. Poor stupid bugger.

Way to go @Cowboy .

Sorry my auto correct makes things weird. I can actually spell hit and the. Facepalm

Well @Cowboy that sounded like a worthy trophy! Definitely one for the book of memory's
He looks to be a real bruiser of a stag. But being old and wise it must have been nice to get the jump on home! Bet he'd beaten a load of hunters before you came along

That's one old cunning stag to live that long. He's seen a few too many winters that boy.

Well done @Cowboy. I gotta get back up and chase them things soon

A couple of Fallow from Whanganui. Great country up there. Took another at 510m but couldn't recover it when we got back to the other side of the river the following day. Hey ho.

Good shit mate

Very nice indeed

Shot in the weekend, Westwood, Blue Mountains. My best fallow to date.



As can be seen in this pic, the weaker side has had a bit of material busted off.

Nice old buck mate. Good stuff
