Stoked with a nice even 10 the other night in Southland. Probably the most intense roar hunt I've had, snuck into a satellite stag out the cross hairs on but saw he was too young so moved on to this guy roaring 200m down the terrace. The wind was dicey and had a couple hinds to sneak past but got an opportunity to shoot him front on, luckily I put the 180gr powershok up the spout, he still managed to walk off looking unharmed thinking I had missed, stags are hard to put down in the roar! A shot like that would drop them on the spot usually. I made sure to let him bleed out for 10 minutes! He was in real good condition too.
Weather's terrible down here haven't been able to get back out again this easter!
