Good east coast bloodlines :thumbsup:
Yeah sadly a young beast. With age they are pretty impressive from around there. This place is to be felled soon and all access will dry up so he wore it :(
@Pointer Are you going back there this long weekend? if so check the weather, it is looking like crap for the area:pissed off: 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

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.

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.

12.30am. Just got home from a hunt. Saw a few. Roared one out of the scrub and shot him right out in the paddock. He ran 100 yards in the open towards my roar. Miserable 8 pointer. Will post a pic after a sleep.
Not much of a sleep @Tahr Plenty of got feed there:thumbsup:
@bigbear Its on a DOC reserve boundary and shut up for QE2 trust. Deer magnet at the moment. Yeah, I am feeling a bit weary :)Quote:
