Well deserved smile Landlock!
Managed this guy a few days back in the Ruahines. He was absolutely going for it and I shot him with my old man with me which was pretty sweet.

Nice one pop shot:thumbsup: My old man is off for the annual trip Thurs,Absolutely gutted I cant make it this year. Its great hearing all the old buggers yarns. Its more about the catch up and boys trip than the hunting these days but i still love it.

Cool Video
mean vid thanks
That's awesome footage Josh. It must make you feel good knowing there are so many good animals in your hunting area.
Thanks, I'm please with this seasons hunting, we saw plenty of animals which always makes it more enjoyable. Yes in a way...I wouldn't say there are "so many good" stags, its a matter of doing a few kms, going where others don't, spending alot of time looking and certainly not shooting the first animal you see. I would've seen 25-30 odd stags this roar, and only maybe 3 or 4 were really worth shooting. In hindsight I probably should've let the 12 I shot walk, but it was an awesome stalk, he was in a popular hunted area, and he was the best stag we saw on the trip, so I am confortable with my decision.
On so many occasions we have seen several stags during a hunt, populating one small area simply because we have got in silently and have sat quietly..and to be honest have been quite surprised by the numbers of deer in some places. This year was no different, we thought the stag in the first sequence of the vid was the most dominant one in this small basin, he certainly acted like it. An hour into the stalk the skylined stag showed up, he's a young 11 with good potential, and then just on dark a large mature 12 came out of the bush for a matter of seconds and then disappeared. He didn't offer a chance to shoot, however if he had I would definately had a crack, he was big. We had no idea there were 3 stags with potential holding up in this spot. We will go back next year for a look and see how they have matured, if the choppers don't get them. The minute you fire a shot and make noise the chances of seeing a decent stag decreases. They are not stupid.
Well done on your stag too, he is a beauty. You obviously put in the effort and earnt him. Congratulations.
Yeah cheers Josh. It has certainly taken a few trips and hours and km's to get him.
When i mentioned the good animals in your video I wasn't just meaning numbers but I was impressed with the size and shape of the heads. After spending most of my years in the Ruahines and up Tongariro I have never seen any that big. You southerners certainly are blessed!:thumbsup:
