Thread: STAGS SHOT 2021

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.

Entertaining. He will go anywhere because he doesnt know his limits. Gets very cold like a vizsla etc. Really not that suited for high country as his chest and balls gets rubbed raw by matagari and monkey scrub. Great nose but more suited to European hunting, e.g driving around a paddock or tracking flat land

A careful approach crawling through the grass to get into position resulted in the 270 having its way.
I might need buy a camo top at some point, it'll increase the sneak potential.

my comment about them earlier is dinky die........they were bred to be like they are on purpose...for hunting...close to ground= better ground scenting short legs= slower so easier to keep up with. I reckon if you could tame one of the vicious little teacup chawahwahs they could be the ultimate hunting buddy...could sit in top pocket and sniff n point deer for you...then track them after the shot LOL
one thing is for certain...a little dog is a hell of a lot easier to pick up and carry than a great big heavy one.

Scored this fella at daybreak yesterday, was 5mins late heading back into cover.. Crying shame one of his brow tines was broken off

few encounters an a few weeks later.. 7-08

Something a bit different... the old Sambar stag in the Swamp trick
very interesting hunt, lots of action, 7mm08 162SST

One right in the shit, didn't make any noise until I was right in his area.Bit quiet still, hopefully next few days they start cranking into it. Been bloody slow going.

Slow going!! I would hate to see how many massive stags you would get when the going is good.
Well done you are a machine.

I don't eat it, give it all away to locals and use the real stinky stuff to the dogs. Its public land mate, ya don't shoot em the choppers or 1080 will get them and there's way too many deer around at the moment
