    Northern Ruahine hunt.

    Hey chaps just got home from 3 days on the tops,
    Trip was cut short due to weather
    Epic trip, we bumped into lots of deer out in the open, stags weren't roaring on there own but where firing up when provoked.
    One of our crew had to get flown out on day 2 with serious stomach issues, it's good to no those plb we carry around do actually work.
    The deer where very quiet can't of seen many people one hind and fawn stood watching us at 300 yards for about 15 minutes as we talked loudly and stood on the skyline, she was standing in the same place as we headed off.
    All deer seen where in fantastic condition,
    One of our crew took a 8 point stag nothing amazing but a trophy two him,
    The rest where just shot on camera.
    The trip was made awesome buy the great company of some forum members.
    Here's a few pics enjoy.
    Off again this weekend, and again next week.
    Stay safe out there, don't fart or wave sticks around above your head.
