Thread: Don't Sneeze @ Snee Rd

Get some fat red stags before the roar but the fattest wild animal I've seen was a female chamois.

Yesterday morning. First blood for the 300saum. Neck shot. 400 yards.

Not raising a fawn so she was as fat as butter.

She was a big girl...

I should qualify "neck shot". She was facing down hill and head on to, me and I aimed for the front edge of her withers. So the hit in her neck was about 6" low, which wasn't too bad because it was a bit of a rush as she was moving off the clearing.

I know of three Snee roads, they are about 100km apart

Nice job and a heap of good steaks for sure. Any sign of the big Red stag should be well stripped by now?

He seems to have disappeared, like they often do after they have stripped. Likely moved into the heavier trees for the roar. Crossing my fingers he turns up after the roar.

Yeah, there was a lot of meat on that hind and I had to lug it a reasonable distance.
I shot her from next to the bottom of the three cabbage trees. Pic taken from the opposite face where the deer was and I had to cart the meat back the way I had come and over the top for a while.



You can see her in this pic after I shot her.

Awesome, some good chewing there and thanks for posting up!!

It will taste all the better for the effort you put in, nice spot your hunting ideal for LR work. We have the same problems with the stags moving to different areas for the roar. There is a nice long 8 pointer we found last year and we have just picked him up in another block so hopefully he will be there for the roar, he is still only 8 but real long, there is a nice 10 we watched on the cameras for awhile but he has vanished a the moment so hope he turns up soon as well. Good luck for the roar.

Its going to be interesting over the next couple of weeks I have my spots my mate has his he often see,s stags I don't 0 infact over the last few months similar areas but he,s more open country im mostly odd clearing ,bush hunting he has no wallows I have hinds fawns & wallows but no stags... very shortly before they start roaring the stags will turn up its going to be really interesting I no my spots well generally to within 50 or 100 meters of zones beds , feed areas kind of all the same but its really neat il be looking for those big marks from now on its been a while since I have seen some timber moving amongst the trees already getting excited

Good luck and safe hunting. Sounds like you have done your home work.
