Some beauty stags being taken this year, hopefully we'll see a few more
Sorry missed your post. took it into Jason at ruahine tanning
Finally a Clements road 8 not a monster but happy after many years trying.
Nuthin wrong with that. :cool:
@Rangidan looks like a Forbes? nice work.
Well Done any 8 point sika is a cracker.
No Rakaia bloodlines here in the Sounds :-))
The 1 in the Trail cam is as good as it gets - leaving him - so hope no one poaches it

@Sarvo buckshot or slugs? Looking at using a 870 marine over here on some private land
Buckshot
Since I change to the shotgun for Roar - my success rate has more than doubled.
I kick myself for not using it in Pureora back in the 80's.
All stags are sot inside 60m (most at 15-30).
No good for Alp-tussock-top roar hunting of course - just heavy bush hunting
Since you are a .223 man - still gets used when I am somewhere I shouldn't be heard :-)

@Sarvo re; your sucsess rate. Is that because you found when you shot a stag it didnt go down so you lost it? What were you using before?
Yes and no
More the point that action happens in very close and very quick.
I use 223 - and that is an issue with deflect in the tight crap these chaps always seem to put themselves in.
It prob also a confidence thing - you point this shotgun and if you are no further than 40m - its all over for him.
Another plus is - I can hunt with my glasses on - my sight is very poor without - so before some1 bumps me over safety issue - it aids in identifying even without a scope
