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!

Oh ffs , this thread doesn't need another argument of public vs paid , if someone wants to pay for a hunt or to shoot a trophy good on them who gives a flying fuck there's so many different people out there with different skill sets or lack of and time restrictions or fitness levels , give it a break .
Iv just been looking up a spot I mite Tee up pretty good price , in a mint spot hut even has a shower and sweet fire place , mite be more a summer time thing seen as how for me the point of the exercise is for a family activity .
