That's what I have been told, was shot day 3 on my 10 day trip... head skin got destroyed from the elements... so will be looking out for another one if anyone gets one... happy to pay for it of course.

Any guesses in the age of this stag?
No sign of beys so I don't think he was going to get much better
as old as its going to get...definately wont get any older.

Ripper buck, well done.
After a crappy start to the day, which resulted in tracking a wounded stag for over 700m with the dog and not recovering, I finished the day with this fella.

Yip still a couple hee-hawing, dark belly and still a bit smelly too. End of the day, it all depends on the girls.
Finally got around to blooding the 45-70, just a young'n. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c9681ccee.jpg

I meant to post this a while ago. But got my first ever roar stag in mid-April & my first stag bigger than a spiker. Have always just targeted spikers & hinds before. Had hit the same area a couple weeks prior but only heard a handful of roars. Went back in & they were going hard. Was on one side of a big clearing when I heard this guy roaring in the bush over the other side. So I crept around the bottom of the clearing & across the other side. Positioned myself behind a small bush just inside the clearing & let out a roar. Next thing he appeared on the bush edge 8m away. Definitely not the oldest or biggest stag in the world, but being both my first proper stag & the first one I’ve roared all the way in I was happy to pull the trigger & stoked with the result.

kiwis spotlight the sambar too? is it that they are too difficult in the day or?
some major trend with night time an spotlights an recently thermals for use for Aussies to try bag their Sambar... im not sure how they did it in the 1960s with open sight rifles of less power than 6.5creeps
@superdiver guess what.
I got this magnificiant beast 100m from the house.
He was with two others, one of which I would have also got if there wasnt a house behind it.
