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.
A nice pureora red

Our lads are up "Snee Rd" in the morning the locals know where we mean so take care.;)
bloody ripper - an old donkey by the looks. Great to see a mature stag like that coming out of Pureora's.
Happy hunting boys.Quote:

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

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

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

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.Quote:

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.Attachment 67985
Good stuff. A roar to remember by the looks of it.
Shit hot @Monk
