Found this fella this evening in a pine block near home. Didnt have a camera with me so these are the only ones as hes in the pot as we speak. Took a couple hours to get meat out, 2' of fat over his arse

Shot right on last light at 30 yards with the 7mm08. Dropped the range finder when sneaking in and had to decide wether to spend the last few minutes of light looking for it or carrying on with the stalk... those tips got the better of me

Nothing mooing in the Kaimai's yet. I left plenty of myself on the hill yesterday seems to be way too hot to be deerstalking. Forecast for rain later this week will cool things down and perhaps heat things up ;-)
Last night. Nice 13ptr

Saw a cracker stag yesterday so went for hunt early this morning to see if I could find him but the wind wasn't rite so I headed north instead, bumped into a young 9 it gave me a bit of a fright at 10 meters away , then spotted a couple of hinds next gully over but couldn't see a stag with them so carried on until I came to a ridge as i got closer I could hear a couple of stags roaring 1 didn't sound to far off. the ridge dropped away quite steeply giving a good view below & once I crested it could hear the stag very clearly I slowed rite down until I found a spot I could sit & take a shot from he was there somewhere in the manuka swamp I thought I may catch a glimpse of him as he passed through some scrubby clearings so I gave a roar when he answered I saw movement & there he was laying down under some manuka 250 meters away & down hill I waited for 10 minutes watching him sometimes he would lay his head rite down resting then a stag would roar & he would reply after a while id gotten my self into a pretty good position on my pac so I squeezed of a shot thwack he stood up shaking his head around I put another shot into him thwack 2 paces he was gone I got down there & plenty of blood around then bone a coulpe of bits looked like tooth I thought F iv hit its jaw after that it was like stalking a wounded lion just as well I had 26 inch barrel I could part the flax first with it before I took a step :) after 40 slow meters I could hear a gurgling sound closer then there he was I finished him off , as it turned out he was fatally hit but both shots kind of went through his shoulder blade instead of into his chest cavity he was a big stag in prime condition I took his back steaks & headskin which looks great seemed a wast to just hack his head off & leave the rest...Good Luck

went for an overnighter Tuesday/Wednesday to an area id never been to before my mate took me in we saw a few animals heading in mostly hinds & spikers but we could hear a few roaring so we set up camp & went looking for them but no good looks like they are just starting in this area so we carried on up the ridge it was getting steeper & we were both getting really thirsty luckly we found a trickle coming out of a small gut then we head a stag roar & not far away , by this stage we were just below the scrub line so I gave a roar & bingo he replyed from 60 meters away I could see bits of him through the trees but not good enough for a shot so I kept roaring & it worked after several minutes he came down for a look my mate fired & I heard a hit , plenty of blood but I noticed grass fiber init bugger we tracked him for a while but the blood stopped didn't no where he had gone both a little down about it we carried on along through the scrub heading for the tussock , I was buggered walked for miles now it was mid day & hot I sat down in the shade for a bit looking around I glanced up above & there was a stag 250 away I quickly took of my pack & bent some monkey scrub over for a bit of a rest & let rip with hells cannon my made said shot went high so I aimed square on the shoulder & wack down here went , after that my mate go,s did you see how he was walking I said yea he looked a bit tucked up got up there & we couldn't believe our luck that was the stag that was wounded he had covered a lot of very rugged ground to get to where he was a real tuff bugger & old his teeth where well worn down 11 points & nice length I quickly claimed the stag pointing out that his little 270 only left a minor scratch,hole :ORLY: so a good couple of days & a team effort stag carnt wait to get back into it over the next few days.

Had he hit it in the guts?
It didn't look like it shot was just behind his brisket & only about 1.5-2 above it theres a chance it was hit inside somewhere but we wernt gutting it to find out bullet had clean pass through , we where just happy we finished him off
