Yes, our biggest heads have gone bigger than Aussies, (many moons ago, hard going to match some of the early BOP heads taken) but your average head over there is better. If that makes sense?

Yeh I know what you mean, I saw a good one shot in NZ about 2 years ago and then a cracker at the guides house in NZ that his mate had taken in 2011 as well. Like any deer though I spose the goodns are few and far between.
They are awesome fun to hunt here though, when you don't pick the same spot as a bunch of hound hunting morons who spook the whole fucking area up.
