The value of a true trophy is very subjective.

But personally I can't imagine a canned hunt trophy would be nearly as satisfying as a trophy gained from pitting yourself against- Doc and their 1080 drops, helicopters thrashing the alps, hours of research into historically good hunting areas, winning a ballot, getting enough time off work, NZ's knack of producing trip destroying weather, rough interislander crossings, walking for days, trying to hold your mountain radio antenna wire high enough to get reception in pouring rain, turning down average heads, etc etc...

I was so elated after getting my first Tahr trophy against these conditions that I couldn't sleep that night, I just kept replaying the hunt.

I ain't saying that a canned hunt can't be exciting for people. Just that everyone has a different threshold.

Oh fuk mate, im not going there, haharrrrrr......i duck hunt on a river, it would all sweep past me......guys?????

Wicked big stag. Totally natural I think perhaps not but I m not an expert in any way. Keep bringing your money over
and spending it here. I m sure there's more sent the other way by members of this forum alone
and thanks for promoting NZ as the PLACE to visit so your country men contribute to our economy as well.

I couldn't do that. I don't have a room big enough to put it in !!

Welcome Barnes Lady, Im a big fan of the 130ttsx in 30 cal for short to medium range, has more than enough penetration for ANY animal we have on public land.

As for the whole free range thing my 2cents is there really should be some "managed" class to add to the free range sector of trophy's.

Hi Username, i was only answering questions thrown at me....its called debate

If that is the head BL got then it's very believable that it's free range. Note, it's only a 15 pointer FFS.

I'd be interested in knowing if in all the years choppers have harvested Deer , and before them Government ground shooters , starting from when there really was a wild Free Range herds roaming NZ back country .
Has there been a Head of this type , configuration , recovered before , from the wild , by a hunter that's not from overseas ?
Im not talking size , that could be explained by food quality animal health .
Or does this stand out as unusual and out of place ?
I'm not shit stirring , it's a genuine question .

What Jess did here in New Zealand is perfectly normal in her home country, NZ guides (outfitters) understand this and target cash rich Americans for a very good reason! It's a magnificent animal and I'm sure she and her party spent plenty of cash while they were here...

There's no way I would travel half way around the world to hunt unless I was guaranteed a animal, there's too much time and cash invested in it to take a chance.

We should be celebrating what Jess has achieved, she seems to be a remarkable person.

Yeah pretty much.
Holden held the nurburgring lap record ............ for utes. It is what it is and needs to seen as such.
Barns Lady The only thing that annoys me a little is this habbit of sitting way behind the animal in the photo to make it appear bigger. Its a great animal, be proud of what it is and get up close and personal for the pics. (But thats just me I guess).
Give up the cancer sticks , take wirehunt up on the fiordland offer and bring a heap of 6 and 7mm free samples packs

Add .5 to those 6mm projectiles. Must be a typo surely
Shooting rat stags in Fiordland would be easier than the one you got. Couldn't think of anything less challenging as far as free range hunting goes. Like rabbits and just as easy in some areas.

But finding a head like the one in the pic? Or a decent wap?
And what would you do with a 7.5mm bullet?
