Nice Buck! A good one to take with his injury.
Cheers BC. I’ve never been so busy with family etc. A couple of nights in the hills these days is something to be cherished for sure.Quote:

Attachment 107051 Crap photo as I was by myself and couldn't prop this fella up for a decent photo. First stag of the year and first stag for the young dog. Great day walk in the Canterbury high country.
dog looks pretty pleased with itself.....almost like it spotted it shot it and your just there to take the photo and carry it outQuote:

No need to get agro here!! It is a democracy we live? in with freedom of speech and all. Better to keep it cool head and posts what voice with recent events in Christchurch.

Week or so back, fat as mud
Nice stag @Parky
I like the natural roughness of the timber - looks really good. Better than stripped velvet coloured up!
Very nice head, well done
Been trying to get out at least three nights a week and its paying off. From the weekend holding hinds and moaning, about 38" high

Got this stag about a month ago. 10 points maybe 11 if your the jammy type it's a pb so happy as and have left quite a few other animals in the last year so gave in for the handy one while he was still fat.
Don't know why I haven't taken a better pick of the antlers but oh well
Ripper mate, great timber and length in the topsQuote:

Nice stag and pics Stocky, but isn't it a bit risky packing out the head right way up? Someone could see the antlers poking up over a ridge (or out of the scrub), think it's a live stag, you walk up over the ridge (or out of the scrub) and get shot at. Yeah it shouldn't happen because hunters should identify their target properly, but lots of stuff that shouldn't happen, does happen.
Fair mate that hill was brutal the pack was empty at the start of the trip and had the entirity of the stag in in all bar the neck meat which was in my partners bag so need my hands back and was bashing through a lot of scrub originally so secured it in the least likely way to knock me over or get caught as that was the primary danger. I'd hope that no one is dumb enough to shoot at me in the open but I guess I should be a bit careful. I'd hope they would also have seen my partner bright pink and purple.Quote:

Good one @skyflyhigh should be good chewing. Which block did you have?
Had smithys spur , was actually chasing porks but dogs were way up gully and I found this guy grazing away as I was heading up to them , surprised he wasn't spooked cause dogs ran straight past him .Quote:
