Very nice indeed. Well done.
I hope you're entering that one in the Sika Show competition @Farmer
Shot this nice buck yesterday at secret spot X somewhere in Central Otago. Was really hard to see as light was fading late in the afternoon but spyed him way up high resting behind a Kanuka tree. Could only see his antlers at a distance. Had to make the shot up high at about 250 metres with the wind swirling mainly from the wrong direction. Took 3 shots in the lower chest, one in neck to drop him. Thought it was all over but he made a move and it took a bit to take him down and slit his throat. Never over till the fat lady sings!
That is a seriously nice fallow head:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Can I ask public or private?
Yep, shot on private land. Been roaming there for a while. Bit better than the one I got a couple of years back in a slightly different pos. R.

Fantastic Richard
Thanks Scudd & Rushy and VC as well. Was interested to note when I slit the stomach open that it was a real tan brown colour and found some fresh shit along the water race we walked around with that same colour. There was plenty of other sign in the area above the deer including bushes effed up and fresh hind shit but nothing else in the vicinity. It was like he shagged himself tired and just laying down to chill out after the job was done. Not sure what he was eating but I'll be taking note for next time. Anyone have any ideas on how to Douglas score fallow? R

Wow he is a lot better than I first thought mate! Confrats
Bloody awesome buck mate, we'll done.
Bloody nice buck
Thanks guys. It looks as though he was chomping on rose hip berries. Real orange colour. Apparently very high in vitamin C. No doubt he was trying to put condition on after taking on all those hinds. Bet he was pleased to be put out of his misery!
So if you see bright orangey-brown poo at this time of year then it might be a deer with big handle bars!
