    congrats, very nice stag. Great you got to experience this with the Mrs in tow. Hard yards makes it that much more memorable

    Yeah you need to get your priorities straight on that one. You are wasted in full time better paid work We need you back on the tools.

    Where do you find ones like that?

    I'm on the tail (so to speak) of some Sika myself, hope to catch up with them soon!

    Thanks for the great writeup.

    I love so much about this report, in no particular order; hunting with the wife, a 7mm SAUM from Cam, the Kaimanawa tops and the stag. I’ve been searching for an eight and a hunting wife, I’ve only got the wife...

    Nice work, do the mahi, get the treats. It appears the wife is the lucky charm, better take her out some more perhaps
