Ah - I did wonder about the use of a water blaster
Yes - they stain if left in a tree like I always do - but to be honest - never had anything to get to excited about.
Apart from my very 1st Red Deer.
Believe this or not
Was a 351lb 12 point perfect Royal (wine glass sat in top)
Shot in Kaingaroa Pine Forest just 300m off the Low Level road back in 1976
Broke the Rangitikei meat chiller record weight by 70+ lbs and got photo take by publican then got head stolen by road workmen from Murapara and bloody photo from publican was a failure and never turned out :-(
And yes - you guessed it - never been close to getting "anything" like it since :XD:
Cannot remember his name but he was young for a publican (like I was late teens and he looked 30-ish and had a nice looking wife)
There were a few very pissed off local meat hunters who got done out of the 1976 weight competition by a true "Greenhorn"
My mate who was with me at the time in the "Big K" shot a 279lb Stag April 1st and I shot mine on the 6th - his nearly got the record - but mine smashed it
I will tell you (but I imagine you know already) we got totally smashed that night - I had a cheque for $351
Even after our splurge in the Tavern - I bought all my winter clothing - aka Swanni - boots - socks - rubber boots and shirts etc etc from the proceeds
The 70's were my best memories
Bloody hell - starting to sound too nostalgic – shut up already !!!
Yes from memory a bottle of beer was about .50 cents and not the little ones of today..... great times alright.
Here is a couple of pics that will make you nostalgic Sarvo and Mooseman. Even check out each others rifles in front of the Tavern. Eat ya hearts out young fella's.

We were there for a pool playoff.
