Where is the dog when you need him?
Unlucky mate, did you best to track him by the sounds....Quote:

Unfortunately I just spent another fruitless night and day in the bush at Minginui. That place is quieter than a library. I have no idea whether it is all over or they haven't started yet

I dropped this 11 pointer up the hunter valley on Tuesday morning. Somehow I managed to end up in the photo's as well.
We managed to get him worked up enough to come running through the bush at us. He stopped 40 yards away side on, I couldn't have asked for a better shot.
He was a scrappy old bugger, one of his brow tines is broken off, most of his tines have chips or scrape marks and he had scars all over his head, neck and back.
There was a bigger stag in there somewhere but we were unable to get onto him. we lost a big 12 pointer as well but that's another story.
all up we heard over 10 separate stags roaring over the 3 nights we were in there, pity the trip was so short.
As a side note those AJ productions game callers with an AMP work like magic.

A little bit of regret with the younger animals but we live and learn. And they taste good:)
I measured the inside of each side they are both exactly 35 inches in length.
so I thought I would post a larger photo of the head.

Bad news Rushy, but like lotto you have got to be in to win.....
Anyone lose a stag? Found this animal while hunting at Hot Water Beach Lake Tarawera on sunday 14th April. Buy the level of decay i'd say he's been dead about a week, couldn't seem to find any holes in him... bit of a waste as he was a beautiful animal.Attachment 8761
What a shame.
Bugger !

Then he was a battler. Any sign of goring? I can see the result of antler scrapes on his left shoulderQuote:

Not a biggie but a pretty nice looking head from mid Canty this weekend, this and his hind filled our packs up to leg busting dimensions :)
