Have a bit of a fetish for little Remington bush rifles......1 Mohawk and 3 model 7s !! Would like a Mohawk in .243..

Another advantage with a good Sika mount - they are not invasive in the living area
It would look great - even if the score is not 180+

Well done - hate myself for not venturing in after them more often when lived near Taupo 20-30 years ago :-(

He should score well as he is very even, but as stated score isn't everything, eye appeal is important also and he looks good.

11pt Stag from East Cape a week ago. Moaning with a few Hinds in tow. My uncles best stag to date, very happy for him and satisfying as he taught me 15 years ago to hunt, so to witness this all unfold was a privilege.

just got back from weekend down Opotiki way. I have been up and down there a bit over last three weeks with the roar being a bit patchy.
Heard this fella moaning and closed distance on him in his rohe.
Gave him a moan and he trotted straight along his track and into a 165gr speer at 20m.
Wouldn't mind a few more that behave like that.

First public land fallow stag.

Watched him come in croaking hard and steal the ladies off another young fulla. Left him for the afternoon to do his thing then came back in the evening to turn him into sausages.

Pretty badly hurt when he was young, hence the deformed right side.

Mature 8 year old!

Loved it, he is going on the wall. Total trophy!!

Flew the old boy up for his 60th and we managed to get his first Ruahine red, a nice 9 point stag.

Am I correct in thinking that we got through this year's roar without a major firearms safety incident? No one has been shot accidentally?
26-04-2019, 05:07 PM

Could be right, but that's a good thing I think in light of the current gun situation.

Very true - though duck shooting season just around the corner..

Yeah I was thinking with all the heat recently if we had a hunting mishap or worse a death they’ll look at snatching it away.

Beautiful stags boys !

Thanks. She should be. I couldn't find it for ages and had given up, but after I had climbed up the slip I shot it on a bit she ducked into the bush and found it about 25 yards away. I had been looking too low down, but once she crossed the scent on the slip it was easy peasy for her. That's a problem with the Barnes - not much of a blood trail - in this case not even a drop.

Strange the exit wound looks bloody, usually if the bullet exits you do get a trail, that's where a good dog earns her keep. What caliber, 270 WSM ?
