Ha Ha Ha That stag has never seen native bush in its life. NI or SI anyone know? If its NI it is an escapee somewhere along the line? Those treys are huge for a wild animal.
The chiller trailer and the fact an animal of that quality is not caped correctly, make it a bit suss as well.
Why the fuck is it, in almost every photo ya see these days, the head is removed half way down the neck? Dont people know how to use a knife and dress an animal anymore?
1 or 2 cuts in the right spot and the head comes off clean as a whistle. Way easier than mucking around with sealed joints in the neck.
You will be pleased that this one is cut off correctly then :thumbsup:Quote:

Sorry Dundee and Neckshot, I've been up into your area again. I sneaked in and out last night without a visa stamp.
I would expect it from someone of your experience tahr. Looks to be a fat bugger that one.
I should leave the thread now because I cannot bear too see 2 grown men cry on a forum.:D

Looks like escapee blood but still pretty even. Not an ungodly coat hook. I'd shoot it!
Shit bit slow to post. I meant the big red
Thats a lovely fallow buck great stuff.
You dont have to be sorry!I dont know where you got the idea from its my area,nice fellow by the way where were they from?Quote:

Holy shit! Just sitting in a tussock clearing, let out two roars, went on the forum for a second, so looking down at phone, nekminute i look up and a 10 pointer is nearly walking over top of me!!!
Supposed to be working but with distractions like this I won't be very productive!
So is it on the ground yet Josh?Quote:

Oh Josh it sounds as though it was close enough for you to rip its throat out with your little pinky finger.Quote:

It's one of my favourite things with my job. Run into deer all the time. But never had one come that close (when I haven't been hunting)
he knew you didn't have your rifle. They do it to me when I'm running the (non-hunting) dogs.
I'm hoping that fella you mentioned is in the Catlins where I'll be . . . . . . .
Yeah probably! Haha. Nope, northern southland. You got a ballot block?
Sounds like you've got a cool job, Josh, mind if I ask what you do?Quote:

The weather was pretty mint, conditions were good so went for a surf cast mission. After teaching my baits to swim from 530 til midnight with not even a bite I went home.
I randomly pulled over on the road, south of Gisborne. Turned the truck off and gave a roar...and got a reply! We had a few roars at each other then I left. Looks like they might be firing up. Esp since the temp has dropped. :thumbsup:
Guess away. It doesn't devalue the meat.Quote:

We knocked over a smallish Fallow yesterday evening, they have already spread out for the rut by the look of it. Estimate of 180 DS but will wait and see what it measures, not bad for an animal we only wanted for meat I guess.
Only bugger was the 'Stag' didn't shoot it his best man did, never mind people at the bbq on sunday will never know.
