Thats awesome, what a buck

WOW. what a beautiful animal. Where is the trip report?

Super stoked for you and everyone who has ever hunted those beautiful deer...or like me...who cant wait to !

What is extra cool about this animal is that it is not from farm escape genes or behind wire which has messed with nz records a lot . just shows what a bit of good tucker can do .

And a bit of age always helps too. I have just sent the jaw away to be aged so will be very interesting to see how old he is.

I might also hesitate to add lack of hunting pressure in the area where he was taken versus the more popular blocks.

Man @Huntn, you must have sh*t yourself when you bumped into him on the hoof! What a ripper, well done.

Well done Huntn. That's a fantastic Trophy, and due reward for sticking it out in all weather.

The deer are where you find em...!!

What a beauty, well done to that hunter.

I've been called an ankle . Which is 3 feet lower than a cunt so your not doing to bad. Beautiful head man I'm so jealous . Amazing photo too also . One to put on the wall on a big print next to the mount too

Just saw this Massive Buck mounted on the wall, I think the Hunter will be very happy with it, still drying I think lol !

Huntn was very generous to allow me to include the story of his hunt for his magnificent buck as the final chapter of my book “Chasing Whitetail Bucks – Stewart Island Hunting Magic.” (2021). The book is self published and has 320 high quality pages with 280 colour photographs. It includes the stories of the hunts of many of the top Island trophies some of which are written by the successful hunters. But it is not just about the trophies as included is a lot of hunting history such as the Safari Hunting operation that ran for 10 years at Mason Bay during the 1970’s.
I have included the list of Stewart Island Whitetail Record Book entries and a food and gear list for new hunters. Beginning at Pegasus where Whitetails are liberated in 1905, the chapters travel around most of the blocks to Doughboy Bay. My first book “Chasing Whitetails” (2019) is out of print and the few copies that have been sold on Trademe fetch high prices.

Here is just one of my readers had to say:- Hi John, well you’ve out done yourself with this one. Loved your last book but this is even better and I’m not that interested in head hunting but haven't been able to put the bloody thing down. Awesome effort must be another one in you for next year. All round 10 out of 10. Well done. Cheers Rick
