    Well last Saturday the stags went nuts in our area, we had three in one small area going well. My brother in- law had the closest one going well so I sneaked in on it putting up a hind on the way but lucky no barking and it ran off in the opposite direction to where the stag had last roared.
    A few minutes later Kevin gave a roar and then I heard a stick break, seconds later a nose and eyes came around a pine tree about 30 odd yards away. He was watching where the roar had come from and didn't know I was even there. He started walking towards me and at about 20 yards let him have it, dropping on the spot ( first with the new Ruger American 30 06)
    A good size animal with a small 9 point head, great hunt though. The afternoon had us onto several more and we roared one in but Kevin took the shot just as it moved between trees and looks as if he clipped the neck leaving little blood. He tracked him the next day about a kilometer from where he was shot plus he was climbing ok, one that should survive and become super wary.
    What a great day in the bush , sure hard to beat the roar period. Stay Safe.Name:  P1020972.jpg

    Pretty happy with my first fiordland deer after many days trying. Appears to be a real old boy but still with some real wapiti character and length

    Nice heads and pretty open bush. That wallow should produce something interesting you would think.

    The wallows look interesting alrite look like communal ones of some sort certainly well used wouldn't be surprised if hinds use them over the summer months as well, the bush in places you can see 100 meters its really nice big beech trees but typically the stags don't hang out there much they tend to sit in or just below the scrub line or in tighter broadleaf gullys
