Nice one cyclist, looks a 'bit steep' there fellah!!!!!!!!
My sad effort - crap 6 point head, but plenty of patties n salami outa this boy.
No big story - walked about 4km from where we left the truck, and he was head down bum up feeding in the middle of the river bed. Was not interested in roaring etc just feeding - had to get really agro on the horn to make him lift his head to be able to shoot him!

My pal I usually go bush with, spent 3 weeks scrub. Just got out yesty. Been into 3 different areas.
He seen over 20 stags. Never heard one stag roaring on its own. Had to get real close before they would do anything.
He shot his 6th or 7th public land deer that goes over 300DS in the last few yrs.
A nice 12. I can't call him jammy anymore. He is just plain good.
He wouldn't be in to me posting a photo.
Hard for a 12 to break 3 Hundy these days.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. So please forgive my sausage fingers!!!
Stags on some of the farms around Canterbury are still roaring well.
If you haven't already, I think there is still a bit of time to get your hat racks yet!
well done Dino... Looks like nice bush in there!
good stuff Dino, I see that block hasn't got any flatter!!
steep as a hen's beak.:ORLY:
Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments.
Bush is very open red beech mostly, little pockets of braodleaf and quiet a biit of crown fern in parts. Pretty dry country hence the open bush.
It is steep in parts, actually shot this boy about 200 feet above the creek, on a wee terrace so not too bad to walk around, photo a bit decieving I guess.
Anyway a bloody good day, not the biggest but hopefully will taste good.
Way better than sitting on the couch!
Cheers
Dino
Looks like a brilliant day Gutshot, well done mate................Quote:

Only dumb thing is I had 20 rounds loaded up for the wsm had Amaxs with 760 smk's with 760 and amaxs with 2209 and accubonds with 2209. So 5 of each was going to test see which ones went the best he used them all shot the deer with smk but he said he shot the rest on goats out to 460m whatever his 460m is :D
Big ups to him Toby. Tell him congrats for meQuote:

I smacked it open, losing time and was about to unleash a second shot when he disappeared into scrub. Gutted, but still in disbelief he hadn't dropped with a well placed .308 slug, I had a quick search. Too dark and couldn't see any blood :(Quote:

Heart breaking and unforgettable.
I have been enjoying the forum stories and photos lately so thought I would post a couple of mine from my Tahr/Deer trip in April. Had a heap of great weather, there was a total fire ban in Mt Cook NP at the time, hard to imagine now.Attachment 12125Attachment 12126Attachment 12127Attachment 12128
