April 1976 on track leading down to the Maropea from Wakelings my mate shot a very fat 8pt stag on the track. We gutted it and I carried it whole to the Maropea Forks Hut to catch up with the rest of the team who were walking in via Top Maropea from Waipawa. Ron was using a Brno 243 601 with 87 gr Hornady. Fed us for the roar.
