Thread: STAGS SHOT 2021

Teaser

Any guesses in the age of this stag?
No sign of beys so I don't think he was going to get much better

as old as its going to get...definately wont get any older.

the roar of 2021 wasn,t too bad made up for 2020s roar

Another nice fallow, not huge palms but long, wide with plenty of style

here’s a couple I got

Ripper buck, well done.

After a crappy start to the day, which resulted in tracking a wounded stag for over 700m with the dog and not recovering, I finished the day with this fella.

Yip still a couple hee-hawing, dark belly and still a bit smelly too. End of the day, it all depends on the girls.

Finally got around to blooding the 45-70, just a young'n.

I meant to post this a while ago. But got my first ever roar stag in mid-April & my first stag bigger than a spiker. Have always just targeted spikers & hinds before. Had hit the same area a couple weeks prior but only heard a handful of roars. Went back in & they were going hard. Was on one side of a big clearing when I heard this guy roaring in the bush over the other side. So I crept around the bottom of the clearing & across the other side. Positioned myself behind a small bush just inside the clearing & let out a roar. Next thing he appeared on the bush edge 8m away. Definitely not the oldest or biggest stag in the world, but being both my first proper stag & the first one I’ve roared all the way in I was happy to pull the trigger & stoked with the result.

kiwis spotlight the sambar too? is it that they are too difficult in the day or?

some major trend with night time an spotlights an recently thermals for use for Aussies to try bag their Sambar... im not sure how they did it in the 1960s with open sight rifles of less power than 6.5creeps

Yep in the area we hunt sambar it gets a fair bit of spotlight/thermal pressure, I supose it is easier to get a sambar in the light but I much prefer beating them at there own game in their environment.

@superdiver guess what.

I got this magnificiant beast 100m from the house.
He was with two others, one of which I would have also got if there wasnt a house behind it.


And the also magnificient hunting wagon....

Well what i want to know is.... why the hell isn't the top of that green bottle !!
