Veitnamcam, yea i did and he was probably only 2years old. I shot him in a native gorge in the middle of a central north island pine forest that has good genes and unlimited food. One day i will bring the jaw out for aging and will know for sure.

Great 1st Sika !!

First time in sika country on an overnight trip, managed to scrape this little bug up in the morning. He roared 40 meters away and came in fairly quick.
Shit loads of sign everywhere, even on the track.
Absolutely no condition on him whatsoever. First for 3 species this year red-fallow-sika and I must say sika are my new favourite species for sure!.
Double post sorry.

A six point jap I roared in. He was coming straight towards me and I was a bit disappointed to find after shooting him he was completely lacking trey tines. The bonus was a great skin which I am getting tanned.

You must be a bloody good hunter if you're a bit disappointed with that one shearer. It's a beaut.
Went out yesterday to a spot we have been hunting hard for a year and just getting to grips with the place and the layout of the land.
A fortnight ago i seen a decent buck but took to long to pull the trigger, as i checked the head again it bolted, well im glad i didnt shoot it as now i realise that he still had another 3 years growth to hit full potential for the area.
Yesterday my hunting mate was the lucky one, he pulled the trigger on a once in a lifetime Buck. I will measure it tomorrow hopefully but in the meantime here is a pick of it.
