    Been hitting the hills hard lately and seen plenty of animals and heard heaps roaring, probably my best roar to date. On the weekend I got myself between two roaring stags and managed to get quite a bit of footage of this guy in and around a wallow before the 7mmRM had its way. An older boy that was probably past his best. I like the character of the head, not a monster, quite heavy and a great reminder of the 2022 roar.

    Has been a cracker roar so far chasing the japs, they have been going nuts. New PB stag for me, roared up and shot at 4m. Doesn't get anymore exciting than that.

    We went way down South this year to try a couple of new places, first trip was fantastic, great weather and plenty of animals seen. Second trip was cold & windy but still had a good time.

    beautiful head...now question for you knowledgeable folks.....that will score X amount as a fourteen...now if the say inner two top tines werent there...it would score as a twelve obviously BUT would the shorter measurement doubled be more than the 2x the 2 short tines????
    eg would the top 6th tine be measurement of...8-9" giving 16-18 points VS 1 1/2" X2=3 AND 2X2"=4 plus the 3 total for top 16 VS 7
    or does the top score as a fourteen give the 8-9" to one tine and the other one start/end measurement off it so would be 1 1/2-2"???
    the douglas score question on other thread has my mind working it out...as bugger all info online about how to do the actual measurements.

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

    Normally go to Fiordland for the roar but this year headed to East Cape for a change. Raukumara stags, L to R: my 8, shot at about 30m in thick bush after I got between two stags roaring, made the decision based on the tops and size thinking maybe a 10, but no, my bad. My sons "mini 11"" a nice even head but unusually small, and my 12 shot at 10m after taking 30 minutes coaxing him out of the thick scrub he was roaring in.

    Solid 11 the other week. Chased a spiker off 10m in front and pretty much ran into me. A shoulder shot sent him running, while I was waiting for him to die he gets up again so I put another 2 into him then he gets up again and the final shot just finished him! Theyre bloody hard to put down in the roar sometimes. Not the first or last time this will happen!

    Unofficial score of 262, not bad for being scored as a 10. Bummer the 17" back tine couldn't be scored.
