    Best show off my head as well.
    First my son's then my head. Sons is a typical inland Otago head, a little on the small side but a nice 12 pointer for a teenager's first head.
    Mine was a large bodied heavy 15 pointer. Both free range shot on private land. Mine was shot a couple of kilometers away from my son's and was not far from the deer fence onto a game farm. Possibly attracted by the hind's behind the wire as i saw several, one was a really wide and long 12 pointer but was weak in the lower points.
    From the look of mine I would say he has some imported blood.

    Possibly not the best photo of the lad and his deer but he dose not like having images posted so this covers his face to some extent.
    It fell about 40 mtr down the hill and broke off in the skull.

    That's a great head. Really good to see some good blood in the North island free rang herd.

    You should ask @craigc to post a pic of all of his Rimutaka heads lined up - they are an outstanding collection.

    Big sucker alright, Big front end, shoulders, forelegs etc but thin in the back end.
    I think I got lucky and picked up one that had some escaped blood lines.

    Thanks Guy's,
    Over 3 days we saw a few stag's, The full range from 4 to 14 points and 2 really nice ones. My 15 and a 16. The 16 was much lighter timbered and not as wide.
    The other that got my attention was a wide strong 12 pointer but I left him as his lower points where weak.
    Big country but you can see a few animals if you get some height and sit and glass.
    This is one of the Valleys we hunted. Saw several deer in that far basin above the tree line but we did not have to go that far. After checking the valley out hunted off a stock trail about 2/3 the way up from the valley floor.
