Caught this guy out at 2.50 in the arvo, was just discussing with the guy with me what way around the hill do we want to go, the easy way in account of already having a boned out pig each in our bag already. Why not add some venny, dumb thing stood and watched us then carried on feeding and my mate managed to get all on camera at 91m lol. Some lessons learnt are the hardest.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...87fdd05313.jpg

Nice load of pork and venison there, another great day in the hills.
Man that Buck is a beaut, you have some nice animals down your way.
I'm pretty much a meat hunter but am slowly getting interested in securing a trophy head or two and I'll be well happy with a nice 12 red and a sika 8.
Shot this little 8 last weekend, (previously shot 2 other scrubby 8's but this one was the best) so thought I'd take the head to clean up as practice for the big boy one day.
Here's a short vid of the shot https://youtu.be/HXtd7_yV9GIhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e912fa1419.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b1514d0e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8a03cd450d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1279cf488e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ab37a48f45.jpg

Came up mint
I know, it wasn't roaring.. But this is my first billy @ 38". Not even sure what is regarded as a trophy billy???
Hunting in East Cape region. I missed some seriously gut wrenching opportunities. Identified a beauty of a stag at 120M, 14pts and fired what i thought was a kill shot... heard the impact... Spent the next 5 hours trying to track him down. Seriously gutting. In the end I came away with a fatass spiker which was needed to fill the freezer. Great trip regardless! Many big animals spotted which got the adrenaline pumping!!!

38 inch billy is a very nice trophy animal hotsoup, shame about the big stag though.
@hotsoup the NZDA minimum douglas score for a goat is 100. Measure the length of the smallest horn around the outside curve and double it. Measure the circumference of the smallest base and double it, then measure the length from tip to tip. Add all the scores together. All measurements in inches. Looking at yours I would guess it would make the 100 mark.
