Hey Team, it's a wet day and rather than sit around moaning about the government I thought I chuck together some recent Fallow deer footage. We see a tonne on the blocks we hunt and I enjoy watching them!
I prefer Fallow over red deer meat, so shoot the odd to feed the family and mates.
I managed to knock this one over at 425 yards with the .284.
Hopefully the rain eases up next week and I can get some more footage...

Thanks for that. Really neat watching relaxed animals.
thanks for the vid craig, some nice looking animals and in great nic
Good shot on the stag, they are pretty deer.
Good man, great to see someone who has the confidence to back themselves for a perfect neck shot at that range - impressed
Yea great shot. Always good when it all comes together. I shoot a few of them and along with Sika, reackon the venison is a lot milder generally than the old Reds
Fallow is a finer ( less coarse ) meat than red by a country mile. I have made the comparison many times.
Nice Shot , I don't hunt a lot of fallow but recently iv been invited onto some private land with good numbers , over the croak I saw a couple of bucks similar to the one you shot , nice big body's , antler length but basically no palms I had in my mind that they where poor animals antler wise & likely will never be much of a trophy however talking to others they have suggested not so & that fallow bucks generally don't get much palmation till they are 6-8 years of age , what's your thoughts on that ?
Awesome shot
@Bobba bang flop to show yah what your project can do!
Just as Waikato is a coarse unrefined beer compared to Dairy Board (DB)Quote:

Nice Craig, always appreciate live animal footage. Wairarapa at a guess?
Nice one again Craig:thumbsup:
Yeah. All these deer were from two different sites in the Wairarapa. Fallow everywhere now; I’ve chased three of four down the road in the last month. :-)Quote:

Good shooting Craig. A little refreshing watching that after the constant BS on here lately.
Not wanting to be missed out... his old man was at it again last night...Quote:

How would you rate the 284 compared to a 7mm rem mag? @craigc
I had both for a while but preferred the shorter barrel of the .284. Same projectile, just a bit slower. Mines doing 2750 ft/sec but is accurate as and has killed a tonne of animals.Quote:

Yeah. Cheers mate. A bit like talk back radio some times! 😀Quote:
