    @chainsaw that's a real cracker stag, I have a mate who hunts down that way for Fallow and Reds on a big station his son guides on. Was your guides name Jerrad by any chance? They have shot some very nice stags there also.

    Technically speaking every single deer is not free range then. Most of the places where red deer where first liberated are private land. Especially in the raikaia catchment.

    A lot of owners down otago have spent a huge about of effort and energy on herd management. And the same result would happen if we had the same Attitude for public hunting without every Tom dick and Harry trashing it, shooting every Stag they see that is immature, smashing all the spikes in spring.

    If a property has a sheep fence on the boundary of Doc I'll certainly wait till it jumps into the doc so it's free range.. Said no one ever.
    Its about congratulating guys on a lovely stag not having a cry to think whatever you thinks better. Didn't your mum ever teach you if you don't have anything good to say don't say it?

    @zack if you are a purist that's great, but a true purist would realise that most of the game animals we have here in NZ came from fenced game parks and are therefore domesticated deer and not really the same as true wild deer in their native habitat. You will have to stop hunting in NZ if you want to remain true to your values.
    Enjoy your purist red deer hunting in Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Spain, Poland, GDR, Scotland, Turkey, oh bugger, they all have managed wild herds and have for hundreds of years. So the reality of hunting is that it is managing game animals to balance their environment. This is how it has been for hundreds of years.Name:  IMG_1887.JPG

    Most of those trophies were killed by coursing too. Private or public land, we have reasonable morals here in NZ when it comes to hunting.
    More meplat, more better.

    i think he was more referring to fenced in as less of a hunting challenge as opposed to a true wild public land animal(which is far far different to something on a station).I agree with zack in that it’s still a fenced animal and shot as opposed to hunted.The animals on this station May be able to roam into public land but won’t as their foodsupply on the farm will be top notch and there whereabouts at almost all times will be known by the guide/farmer.

    You have never tasted Giraffes then I take it?
    The skins also make a great stair runner and there bones are some of the hardest of all planes game.
    It is tasty by the way

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
