A few days into a hunt now. Get reception when at the top of a big hill[emoji16]
Heard a few half hearted roars. Seen a lot of deer but struggled to find any stags. When I did find some they were...

Hard to make an accurate assesment from that pic for me but he appears to have everything going on, nice looking animal. Good work Edunn[emoji106]
Its bloody good to see pics of promising animals...

They didn't roar till we got them going.
Climbed up onto a terrace, hit some rubs and wallows and was lucky with the wind. Thought it was going to be a bust but once we got within a 100 yrds they...

Very happy American this morning.
We passed up a young stag early and snuck in on another roaring well.
He pulled off a front on neck shot with his bow at 10 yrs.
Deer still went 100yrds before we...

Had a stag going quite well in the last hour. He was pretty safe because there was a big swamp between us and he wouldn't budge.
Big mish tomorrow. If no luck there we might go and get wet.

Ya reckon? [emoji16]
Looking after a nice couple from the states. Bowhunters so just looking for a reasonably mature stag.

I thought a km or 2 across a lake was far enough. [emoji16]
Can't hunt any creeks or rivers around here due to floods.
Should be able to cross a few creeks tomorrow.

Just got back from a look around.
Only heard distant farm stags going.
Roared up a little 2 Yr old. He didn't stink.
Pretty quiet.

Every man and his dog starts poking around here in the next week. They scent everything up instead of just using their brains and holding off them.

Really? I could smell a rutty stag when you were at mine this morning [emoji16]

I see that weather hitting now. Gunna be a rough few days and then they should be into it.

Heard a stag having a wee moan about an hour ago while I was fishing.
He then let out some half hearted roars. He roared enough to make me walk a ways back to my truck and grab my roaring horn to...

To be fair I wouldn't put much stock in what I seen. It did look dire regarding sign etc but I am not sure when it last rained in the areas we covered and a storm was approaching.

I have done...

I would say it doesn't get hammered more than it does farmed, from what I understand. Only gets hit a couple times a year so animals are complacent and easy to clean up.
We only seen 3 deer and they...

Only seen Thar on that side.
Looked up both branches of the Mathias and a lot of other places.
Landed on dark back in Hoki so should have seen more I would have thought.

Did 2 hrs in the machine looking over good country. Even went and flew around the Canterbury side.
Checked some wallows etc.
Very quiet. Not much sign in head basins or hanging valleys.

Seen 3...

Checked a few spots but no major activity yet.
Shot a rat stag on private land that was fat, for meat, and he wasn't close either.

Doing a few hours in a machine tomorrow having a look around...

That would be in a top 5-10 12 point stag ever shot in NZ.
As Mathias says, it must have really long bottom tines to reach that.

A 46x46 dead even 18pt stag would likely break all kinds of wild...

Just having a coffee with a mate at the local sports shop.
Run into a fella who says he shot a 46x46 dead even 18pt stag up a river close to town.
I congratulated him on the new Nz red deer...

Just sitting on a ridge now listening to 3 or 4 stags roaring well.
Rare to be in data coverage and be able to post as well. [emoji106]

I went to get a look at a stag that left some promising sign a few weeks ago.

I caught up with him and he was old, big bodied and either gone back or always a shit head. I left him be.
Heard a...

Good luck[emoji106]

Lol. None. I have been seeing a few animals driving over and back lately.
On both sides of the divide.

She can shoot. Started both the kids very young.
She is pretty competent with all my firearms especially the pistols. She like full 357 loads the most[emoji16]

She likes shooting pests and comes...
