And as you say you have spent your whole life hunting the Kawekas focused mainly on meat, I'm sure if you had focused mainly on getting a nice tidy 8 point sika to hang up on your wall instead you probably would have. I say that as you seem to be an experienced hunter Tahr and have been doing it for a few years now!

I'll ask you this though, if you were to think in the end "bugger it" I'm going to go and pay for it and shoot me my trophy sika stag, would you be happy with yourself looking at your trophy each day hanging up in the house or shed and thinking man I'm proud of that and so deserve it??
I sure know that i wouldn't be. And that wouldn't change even if I won power ball tonight!

Back to the different stokes buzz I think @Huntn me personally wouldnt be either I love the work took me years to pull the trigger on a redstag.but not everyone is going to like trip after trip of bad luck or shitters you decide not to shoot some people probably just want the job done. The bucket list thing stag do buzz gift from wifey all makes sence and remember trophies in the eye of the beholder guided or not to the beholder i bet its still an epic memory
