Just wondering who has done this? Would be pretty sweet to get a trophy of every big game animal, im just trying to get all of the animals first.
Just thinking what their is
Goat
Pig
Red skin
Fallow
Sika
White tail
Chamois
Tahr
Rusa
Sambar
Wapiti
Moose?
I have them up to chamois hopefully get a tahr and sambar this year. Once I bag one of each I will start on getting fussy with trophies!
Any others for the list?
Now that is a challange... Not me but workin on it!
MOOSE! if you have the luck to nab one of those in nz you should be investing in lotto tickets
Good luck with that:thumbsup:
Ive only got the first 4 on the list, now lets release some thar and chamy up here......
Cant let those pillow bitters down the way have all the fun:)
What about a Bison and Scrub Bull?
I can only tick number one off but like you id love to get most before im an OC:thumbsup:
I've got the first 3. Wouldnt mind getting the rest one day. Wild bull as said and also wild rams?
Yeah I got a wild ram. And a bull... not a wild one tho haha
Only 2,3 and 4 for me.
Only started this year, 100% success rate (1 shot, 1 kill) on No4.....should i retire now!!!!!!!!!!!
Bull tahr, chamois buck, wap bull, whitetail buck, left on the above 'to do' list. It's obvious I've never hunted the South Island right?
Oh and the only Rusa I have shot wasn't a stag so I can't really tick the Rusa box either
Many years ago a guy wrote a book about doing this. Allain Jorian or some name like that from memory.
I've shot all of those species except Moose, Whitetail & Wapiti.
But only have Red, Fallow, Rusa, Tahr, Chamois & pig trophies. For me, nothing to do with skill or experience. All about luck and just being out there doing it. You are bound to stumble over the odd good one if you live and hunt long enough.
I reckon it takes a bit of experince and skill. If it didn't new hunters wouldn't ask for help
Probably. But I think I have just been lucky. If you stumble around in the dark long enough you are bound to bump into something eventually, eh. :thumbsup:Quote:

Once you have done the lot you can start on ticking them all off with the bow, now that would be a challange. I would love to get a chital, they are nice looking animalsQuote:

The challenge is that the difference between a cracker and an average head is only 3 or 4 inchese which is hard to judge on the hoof.
They'd be a great challenge with the bow though and thats what I'm planning on doing in the next couple of years
I have done all the UK species.Quote:

Wild Pig
Red Stag (10pt)
Whitetail

Here's a beauty from the meat days when I was a bit younger ... :)

And here's a cast that I picked up in the Ruatiti public land 4 years ago...

Anyone can get this stuff. The secret is doing the hard yards and living long enough. I have been fortunate so far with the latter, and not very good at the former :)
Living by that motto is what keeps me in the bush!Quote:
