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.

They were back early as the wind was a strong NW not ideal for the Northern end.

I got up there at about 4pm tonight. Saw an 8 pointer with a couple of hinds and a fawn. He wasn't roaring but was giving them the sniff. Took a few rough pics and left them to it.
A wallow I looked at hasn't be used for a while so it looks like its over for a year.

And yeah, it was windy.

Hoping to get back out Saturday but weather doesn't look promising.But have seen your results @Tahr in all weather so still might go anyway depending on how things go here on the ranch.

hey Crew, 7 days spent chasing sika and this is my effort, should score well i think

Fairly light timber on that one but classic shape and point position, the colour will add a few points also

Yep I thought it could only be the one of the legends, Herrick or Lyes. Don't know who shot the last one

Lucky getting the farmland,the boys have packed up and gone into the mid Ruahines past Snee Rd but the weather doesn't look good. Did the wind change to SE in the arvo @Tahr ?

Yes I am lucky to have this access. Thats the bush edge on the left hand of the pic. It goes up to the Reserve. Those deer came out at about 5pm. I spotted them as they came down a spur in the bush. The wind was a stiff N/W all of the time.

Pointer , LOC I've that moose book "Mr Moose" think it's called that, will have a look in there. I know that the last one shot was by a guy called Francis....which was a female. The photo that was in the book shows the hunter looking rather dejected beside a very large cow.
Awesome history there LOC. always wanted to have a good look for one down there.
There was a huge Wap head that used to hang in the Christchurch airport. Not sure who shoot that one but it was a bloody monster!
Thanks for posting that pic.
Was that Eddies hat?

Couple of my heads off to the taxidermist today.

Two beautiful heads there, well done.

Good stuff. A roar to remember by the looks of it.

Shit hot @Monk
