    Under their rules, apparently Barnes Ladies stag is a world record. WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?

    Good Times - Thanks!

    Look what I did!!! I created one big banter!!! One thing I'll say is that I enjoyed getting into it with you guys. It was, if nothing else, super entertaining! Good thing I've got thick skin. Some of this would make most women cry their eyes out, or tear out yours!

    No worries, mates. All good discussion and I especially thank all the welcomes from the group. You bet I'll be back to spend money in your wonderful country, but maybe y'all could do something about those horrible photos on your derm packets? (smokes, cigs, or whatever Kiwis call them) Holy shit! The US government would never get away with making the cigarette makers put that stuff on their packaging! WOW!

    Cheers! BTW, my friends call me "Jess".

    Always a shame about the ciggy packets...but uncle Peter and aunty Tariana want their people to have longer lives.

    You'll want to ditch the darts anyway @Barnes Lady, for your upcoming Fiordland hunt with @Wirehunt you will need all the oxygen you can muster.

    Hi Jess, you've dragged me back in darlin....just so you know, i have no personal vendetta against you personally, if we ever meet i reckon we would get on like a 'house on fire', were both hunters after all.....its just that i have this 'opinion' about the term

    'Free Range' when it comes to the (quite frankly) magnificent Stag youve acquired....i just have a really hard time when the animal in question is shot on a Hunting Business property!

    If you venture onto the thread started by Roberto from Austria, you will see in my (biased) eyes an overseas visitor who will leave our shores with an entirely different take on hunting, all (to my knowledge) done on 'free range DOC land' where every person
    entering the land has an equal chance, depending on your experience and skill set.....that is what I get from hunting, the challenge, were the animal gets a fair chance to live another day...especially when im after them!!!!!!!!

    i can tell from your responses so far that you are 'thick skinned' and can take a bit of stick, (hope that does not get lost in translation) please down load a DOC hunting permit on your next visit and pit your skills against the animals on this land it is very
    rewarding and any/every animal you take will have a very special memory when you leave

    Cheers, BTW, my friends call me "Eric" (or arsehole!) haharrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........go girl!!!!!

    Welcome Barnes Lady, Im a big fan of the 130ttsx in 30 cal for short to medium range, has more than enough penetration for ANY animal we have on public land.

    As for the whole free range thing my 2cents is there really should be some "managed" class to add to the free range sector of trophy's.

    A. she said her "friends" call her jess
    B. We got your point pages ago no need to reiterate over and over.
    C. Its not the New Zealand public land record. Or "what NZ hunters think free range is" world record. Its the free range world record with its own rules and regulations set by what ever international organisation. And i bet its not the only one on their books shot in these circumstances.

    It seems to me everyone is arguing about two different things the new zealand standard and the international standard.

    Congrats @Barnes Lady

    If that is the head BL got then it's very believable that it's free range. Note, it's only a 15 pointer FFS.

    I'd be interested in knowing if in all the years choppers have harvested Deer , and before them Government ground shooters , starting from when there really was a wild Free Range herds roaming NZ back country .
    Has there been a Head of this type , configuration , recovered before , from the wild , by a hunter that's not from overseas ?
    Im not talking size , that could be explained by food quality animal health .
    Or does this stand out as unusual and out of place ?
    I'm not shit stirring , it's a genuine question .

    What Jess did here in New Zealand is perfectly normal in her home country, NZ guides (outfitters) understand this and target cash rich Americans for a very good reason! It's a magnificent animal and I'm sure she and her party spent plenty of cash while they were here...

    There's no way I would travel half way around the world to hunt unless I was guaranteed a animal, there's too much time and cash invested in it to take a chance.

    We should be celebrating what Jess has achieved, she seems to be a remarkable person.

    Yeah pretty much.
    Holden held the nurburgring lap record ............ for utes. It is what it is and needs to seen as such.
    Barns Lady The only thing that annoys me a little is this habbit of sitting way behind the animal in the photo to make it appear bigger. Its a great animal, be proud of what it is and get up close and personal for the pics. (But thats just me I guess).
    Give up the cancer sticks , take wirehunt up on the fiordland offer and bring a heap of 6 and 7mm free samples packs

    World Record Red Deer!!!!......according to an American

    Add .5 to those 6mm projectiles. Must be a typo surely
    Shooting rat stags in Fiordland would be easier than the one you got. Couldn't think of anything less challenging as far as free range hunting goes. Like rabbits and just as easy in some areas.
