Thread: Stags & Bucks 2022

Trying for a last fallow buck today before the season ends on the 1st no luck but tipped d this little guy over.
First for the season. Also saw a really good muntjac buck but could not get a safe shot……next time eh now for some NZ ducks

After passing up a young 4 pointer and then having a couple of other stags give us the slip, my hunting mate roared in this ancient 6 pointer for me (more of a 5 really but technically still a 6) on ANZAC day. As you can see his head was definitely going backwards but I was still stoked to get a mature animal, good times!

Hey @Dusty Fog not sure what your question is? Bucks have small antlers, which have three points each when fully grown. Antlers are described as ‘pearled’ or ‘bearded’ when they are heavily textured with lots of nodules. Dose this answer it?

Here’s my effort one day I’ll run into a big one. But this is going to taste great.

No irony really...most of us rooted the odd fat/ugly chick in our younger years...... some more than others.
a lot of folks will never see a decent fallow buck reguardless of if they shoot does or smaller bucks or not.
if the poster shoots hundreds of small bucks...yip thats daft,but not one or two for freezer isnt....

So what you are saying is that having sex with a girl scoring below 6 means that one has offended the gods, and will never shoot a big Fallow ??

first off there is only one God....

but no,what I meant is many folks would never shoot a fallow buck AT ALL if they hadnt shot a little fella/fellow or two..... the quest for a really good large mature buck/stag with huge antlers isnt the be all and end all for many hunters..
as to what I put in first line.....most folks I know didnt wait in painful abstinence for "the one" to come along.... waited for the beauty queen to say yes and held out forever hopefully waiting for her.... sometimes a fella just takes whats on offer....

Easier to find an attractive women than a big stag, but you’ll get yourself in trouble using 10x42’s in the Main Street

Couple more from the roar, manged these 2 within about 5mins of each other.

Bloody nice, well done

Jees these Sika are something else guys, well done.

@pongo where are you?your heads last year ruled the thread.

Roar was super early in my area, almost by a month. Missed out on one due to helicopter flying overhead. Came back a fortnight later and took this scrubby bush fallow, plenty of animals around. Good to see them in good nick.
