    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Yep, felt it when I was dragging him around by them. Haven't had a good look yet

    Got this guy at the end of February, he took a decent tumble after the shot and snapped a couple of tines of and his main beam. Never seen such a fat stag from kaikoura.

    @Sideshow Yeah there are a few chips already. I shot a buck a couple of years ago about a month after the rut and most of his back end were (rump area etc) as covered in nearly healed bruises!

    This one is as fat as mud and huge in body size. I carried him for about 200m of the 300m climb to the ridge top, but then we both had to drag him the rest of the way. When we eventually got him to the bike which luckily was at the bottom of the ridge on the the other side it took the 2 of us 4 goes to get him onto it. We reckon that with head off he must have been about 80kgs. He was a horse of a buck!
