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.

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Here is my Raw effort...
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.
Here is a pic of it when I got home with my little man holding the head.

That is excellent Lostlegend. It is interesting that there is no brow tine on the left Originally Posted by lostlegend

[QUOTE=Rushy;104029]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[/QUOT

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.
