    a ripper of astag yours is to be sure,awesome genetics getting around and they are getting old enough to grow out properly.
    And there’s heaps of public land adjacent.... so chances are those genes will find their way into the wider area & herd

    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?

    If you can't congratulate someone for their success then you should leave zack. This post is for people to share their trophies, if you want to debate private vs Crown vs behind the wire please do this elsewhere. It's comment's like yours that stop people sharing.

    Thats some impressive heads Chainsaw and Goosebay.
    I was lucky to spend a few hours flying around one of those large Otago stations with the owner back in spring 2017. He was mustering stock and we where spotting deer.
    Would definitely call that free range private land and DOC grazing lease. They do manage the hunting pressure and selectively cull poor heads to increase the trophy valve.
    Common practice on many private land blocks. Seen it on fallow blocks as well. Watched the disturbed deer bolt into the Doc land, then they come out to graze.

    Got to see some of the international trophy heads on the fenced blocks earlier this year and they are massive. Personally I find them ugly with all the down turned growth and parmated tops, but International hunters pay good money and that keeps money flowing in and some of those genetics do make it into the wild herd.
    Have a picture of one on the back of a guide's ute at the camping ground and it was ugly but probably rated as a Super Gold to the hunter and his guide.

    @turtle I wouldn't worry to much what people think regarding shooting animals on private land as I think it is probably a case of sour grapes for those that find something to moan about. Post it up , keen to see it.
    As 300wsm for life said this thread is for those showing us there hard earned trophies so leave the negative comments out, please.
    This is one thread I always look forward to checking out to see what successes have been achieved.
