first deer was a 400kg sambar stag, shot with a .303 smle III. shit head as they are around mt tarawera but was a complete fluke! we were pig hunting dogs had a chase in some thick stuff so i ran back to road to see if they would cross, heard a few cracks and a bloody sambar walked out about 50 meters away , so lined up just bellow the head and dropped him on the spot, all my mates could say was 'bugga man another bloody sambar'!!! i was buzzing, was 16 at the time.first deer is the mates son next to the sambar, next is the head, third is my 2nd deer with the old 303 and 3rd was first stag during the roar! good times
