Thread: Hunting in the Snow

Lovely spot up there!

Last time i was up there i shot a scrubby stag on the southern face of the triangle turn off, i should have spotted him earlier from the high point as i had taken a spell and was getting some photos but never thought to get my binos out.


Got to here and saw him trotting off as he was on to me well before i saw him, quickly took the shot and dropped him only to see the biggest Ruahine stag i have personally seen run over the shoulder at a high rate of knots heading towards the big Tarn


I bolted off after him with just my rifle only to watch him get further and further out of range, I don't think he stopped until he was in the Pourangaki

North to Maungamahue


Spectators!! there was a group of hinds up above me watching the whole thing play out and they were still there the next morning, i suspect they wanted to cross over into the Oroua but i was in their way
