Any Fallow up that end yet? They can't be far away.

Nice work young man!

Well Done you will be hooked for life now, keep at it you got plenty of hunting ahead of you. Good on you madmaori for getting the young fella out there and kindling that interest.

this was certainly not shot 2017, but this is one of the dusky moose hanging out at my wife's uncle's house

Wow that's a bit of history right there, wasn't there only four bulls ever shot here? Do you know the story to it?

three bulls shot, two by my wife's great grandfather Eddie Herrick. all the family have left is that bull moose and an absolute donkey wapiti (and a few African heads). he shot a pair of waps right beside each other and i'd love to know where these are now and get them reunited... i think quite a few heads were gifted to Lindisfarne College which was his old homestead before it was a school and maybe Hastings deerstalkers
i've read his old diaries and checked out all the maps which her gran still has. quite cool stuff.
sorry for the diversion off topic

bloody ripper - an old donkey by the looks. Great to see a mature stag like that coming out of Pureora's.

A sika with length but no looks

That's a very nice Pureora red alright the sika isn't to bad either Twoshotkill a job well done.

Our lads are up "Snee Rd" in the morning the locals know where we mean so take care.

Happy hunting boys.

Tomorrow afternoon for me, but I'm on the southern end of it. Was planning to stop out but the WX isn't looking so hot.
