Grandson James with a 10 pointer he shot tonight at 25 yards with his Dad. He used a Tikka M55 in .243 that I gave him.
Super proud.

Stoked with a nice even 10 the other night in Southland. Probably the most intense roar hunt I've had, snuck into a satellite stag out the cross hairs on but saw he was too young so moved on to this guy roaring 200m down the terrace. The wind was dicey and had a couple hinds to sneak past but got an opportunity to shoot him front on, luckily I put the 180gr powershok up the spout, he still managed to walk off looking unharmed thinking I had missed, stags are hard to put down in the roar! A shot like that would drop them on the spot usually. I made sure to let him bleed out for 10 minutes! He was in real good condition too.
Weather's terrible down here haven't been able to get back out again this easter!
Well done, real cracker donkey. Very impressive tops. What’s the cannon you shot him with ?Quote:

Nice @kiwigreen .
Is that a GSP walking into the photo? Looks like my dog
Had a cock up and we shot a one antlered bugger obstructed by a tree but not to worry, still a bit of fun. Challenging in the shitty wind

Just out from the Whirinaki with my boy. Got our first roaring stag together. Only 6 points but so stoked to be able to share it with my son. Was fat too.
Was very skinny. Dog also caught 3 pigs (about the size of him)Quote:

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun getting that one @Chur Bay judging by the smiles :) even the dog looks to be grinning:thumbsup:
What red dot have you there?
now that is pure GOLD.....
Well done,you and yr son will treasure the day.More hunts to plan now.Lots of fat makes a nice eater too.
@PerazziSC3 I’ve hunted with them in France. They use them there to find the boar after the driven shots. Really impressed at how they go.
Looked like you had a good day out:)
Looks like that special area again , nice going, you think they have just started down there? Many others roaring ? The area we hunt now is still quite only a couple of roars last weekend , hopefully they will start up this weekend.Quote:

It's an aimpoint H1. Real quick to get on target.
The dog was good there but he must have gotten a good dose of ongaonga. I thought he was buggered that night. He was vomiting, drooling, had the shits and breathing really laboured. That was Saturday night. Luckily we had a rest day yesterday. He was good as gold today though.
Not too far from where you think as the crow flies. Heaps of roaring Friday and Saturday especially during the night. Didn't hear anything last night or today though but we did have a fire last night so that may have shut them up.Quote:
