Thread: Stags Shot 2018

Out for a walk trying to get a mate a stag,had a nice 12 come into our roar but he somehow rushed the shot and missed it.Then saw this 10 on a slip 585 yards away.Got a good rest and I smocked him.Off to chase sika around for 10 days from Wednesday.Happy hunting people.

Here,s my 12 @JoshC ...kinda one of those stags you look at & think man if only that point there was a little bigger

@Boaraxa
Well done - if it helps you feel better this is the "best" I have available

pic,s can be deceiving looked pretty Young josh still had its wee eye teeth , been chasing them around all week had some really good stalks 2 stags came to within 8 paces of us but seen as how im now a trophy hunter ..as per the pic ! have been very controlled but after looking at a good few stags in the area bearing a striking resemblance to sarvo,s & mostly been beaten in the bush with the extreme winds & I was having self doubt about my roaring ability , particularly my death roar was feeling a little off so I decided to make my self feel a bit better , what ever walked out of the gully was getting blasted & it worked , instantly our sprits lifted & walking out managed to get a stag worked up ( death roar back on track) my mate stalked in to see yet another 6 pointer good times .

Nice 10 Monk, good luck on the sika

Good stuff guys!

@Monk Drove past you place yesterday on the way for a hunt. I said to Brian "I hope we do as well as Monk has been".

Nah. We only saw rubbish and hinds with their children. It was blowing a gale in Nth Wairarapa.

Here,s a stag I got a couple of weeks ago , sitting on a high point overlooking a large wallow rite on evening 3 hinds appeared over the sky line by this stage I got my mate to range them 400 yards then we heard a grunt so I started counting clicks ! couldn't believe the size of the thing , I didn't piss about before my mate could get his bino,s up the stag was down , hit him close to were my little finger is but on the other side he was still thrashing around when I got over to him his neck would have been close to a foot & a half wide , mud fat Reg shot the other one the next day pluss he collected the hind quarters from mine on his way back .

Just got out of tararuas after 2 days of walking around in gale force N.W wind then turning to bitterly cold wet southerly.Heard a few but hard to pinpoint,shot a scrubber that I’m to embarrassed to post a picture of.Pretty busy in there,saw 10 other people.

Managed this today pretty happy

Hell you guys are getting some really nice stags good on ya.

Couple of last light scrubbers, and put this French woffer onto his first stag today
