Is that a clip on camera or a a electronic scope or what's the go there Tahr ?

Flattened that 2nd one!

A couple with 77TMK 100 and 250 yds

It’s an Arken Zulus night/day scope that you can take vids through. About $1,200. I’m very impressed by it. When I get home I will post a vid of a head shot at night using the IR.

Haven’t posted in a while. Typical steep Marlborough bluffs with a dead stag half way up, if I got closer the deer would be covered by tree’s because of the steepness.



The spiker with some interesting head gear and he’s 3km from the nearest farm. 429m and 34 degree angle with a 80gr ELD-m smashed both shoulders and exited.



A hind at 320m instant bang flop roll.

Good to see that poor bastard out of its misery. Looks pretty messy. Was that antler snapped before you shot him? Or result of the fall?

It was half broken and the tumble down the hill snapped it off, there was wire/string rapped around its neck too. It wouldn’t take much to get tangled up in trees.

Ive seen that electric fence wire used at camps to sling flys on and for clothes lines etc. Not sure why you would.

Gnarly country there @tikka. Great shooting.

looks like electrical wire from a fence.

Good shot for the deer,put him out of his tangled misery.

Three deer shot with the 77 TMK last 2 nights. The dog is very handy in the dark for finding them. This was culling for a soup kitchen.

1) Ouch

2) 130 odd yards. Ran about 100 yards steep down hill. Pup let out a little woof - dont blame her 'cos the deer made a racket in the dark as she bowled down towards us.

3) 137 yards. Ran about 15 yards.
