bout time

Been busy working and spending time with the family so not much time for hunting lately. Also got Mark at waitaki engineering to put a rail on my sako so that was away for a couple weeks to, so thought Better go for a wander this arvo and look for some animals. Needed a venny top up too although winter animals are usually a bit lighter here. Just needed an excuse to use new s&b from alonzo to be honest haha. Walked and glassed for a bit and found this fella and took him out at about 80m. Job done..........

Nah not usually they just go in the shed. I just measure the ones I wanna mount.

What would your estimate be on the score mate ??

Hard to tell from pics but if the length and spread were there it could go early to late 240s DS

Not many points. Some heads can gain a lot because of how many points they have.
The one I have attached is an awesome animal for a black. Had length and width.
Lack of points and a broken brow put it at 256. Would have made 260 if the brow wasn't brokenhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8154a93bfb.jpg

I'd say 238ish DS for Pongo's animal at a guess :) Surprising number of spellers still attached to those palms so late in the season. They normally smash them up, the aggressive little buggars.

Thanks R93, that one in ya pic is a brute what a trophy !!!

Yea he be up there I spose, have got 8 or so about same size and a couple nice ones in the house. That one is 20pts
