Was very skinny. Dog also caught 3 pigs (about the size of him)

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun getting that one @Chur Bay judging by the smiles even the dog looks to be grinning
What red dot have you there?

now that is pure GOLD.....

Well done,you and yr son will treasure the day.More hunts to plan now.Lots of fat makes a nice eater too.

@PerazziSC3 I’ve hunted with them in France. They use them there to find the boar after the driven shots. Really impressed at how they go.
Looked like you had a good day out

Just out from the Whirinaki with my boy. Got our first roaring stag together. Only 6 points but so stoked to be able to share it with my son. Was fat too.

Looks like that special area again , nice going, you think they have just started down there? Many others roaring ? The area we hunt now is still quite only a couple of roars last weekend , hopefully they will start up this weekend.

14 pointer with no beys (split tine trey the barrel is resting in) thought this one was a monster through the spotting scope but turned out to be the smallest bodied stag I've seen. Still dominant stealing Hinds and roaring very well. Was carrying a decent limp also and was pretty old.

It's an aimpoint H1. Real quick to get on target.
The dog was good there but he must have gotten a good dose of ongaonga. I thought he was buggered that night. He was vomiting, drooling, had the shits and breathing really laboured. That was Saturday night. Luckily we had a rest day yesterday. He was good as gold today though.

Not too far from where you think as the crow flies. Heaps of roaring Friday and Saturday especially during the night. Didn't hear anything last night or today though but we did have a fire last night so that may have shut them up.

It's a 338 Lapua magnum. I did have the 280AI but we spotted him at 1km away and he wasnt going to stand still and approach looked difficult with wind. Grabbed the 338 incase we had to make a longer shot but ended up only being a 200 yard running shot

Bloody nettles. My dog also hates the stuff. Goes all day but man he hates it at night when he gets in.
Try keeping them cool is good till it wears off helps.
