Back in the game after more than a year of knee and hip issues. First Sika, nice little character 8. Shot at about 350 on the last day of a kaweka mission after an epic day of valley to peak hunting.
The little 140 NBT leaving at a leisurely 2625 fair blew up, don't think ill be using these in the bush.....Attachment 71002Attachment 71003Attachment 71004

got this 6 in a place that looked very much like the kaimais but cantve been since theres no deer in there
was on the first of may and he was still fat and had no battle scars mustve been having the best time of his life the the weeks before i got him
Shot another stag today.
Bit of a munter but very interesting.
Went for an impromptu hunt early this morning.
Saw a stag and spiker very early at 600m in the half light for only a couple of seconds.
Got into shooting range and found the spiker bedded down at 400m at around 9am.
Watched him for the next 6 hours knowing that the better stag was somewhere just inside the bush edge or close but out of sight somewhere.
The spiker got up 2 times and turned around, but lay down in the exact same place again and was just clear of the cover for the whole 6 hours.
Around 3:30pm the spiker got up and moved into the bush, reappearing withing 5 minutes with the bigger stag also and fed along a bush edge.
Regulation 400m shot and the 10 pointer was down.
Just interesting to know that the 10 pointer had spent the whole day just inside the bush edge and in the shade, while the spiker had been having a delightful time just in the open and even getting some direct sunlight on him. Some of the time he was bent double with his head resting on his rump just like my dog does.
I was in the shade out of their sight and bloody cold the whole time.

Damn girl! What's the Douglas score? Be worth the money to get it done by a taxidermist.

Cheers guys. she did really well and held her nerve a lot better than me actually. Was a tense stalk in from 880 yards first spotted down to a short sharp shot at 80 yards in the neck with him watching us.
Measured 43 inches and scored 328.5DS as a twelve.
At 25 weeks pregnant i didn't let her carry much so it was 2 heavy trips out with the meat for me.
Cheers
What a dream. Amazing animal
What an amazing animal mate. Congrats to the missus :thumbsup:
Yesterday avo I poked into a valley I haven't looked into before. Public land a couple hours from home. I had noticed the sun had melted most of the snow off this hill already so thought it'd be worth a look. Pretty happy to bump into these fellas. Couple of really nice young stags, heaps of potential. Providing no one shoots them, or a chopper doesn't get them.

Shot this one for the freezer, he was the ugliest (apart from the one antlered one which I saw after I'd shot this one. He was also the smallest but fattest...
