Cow moose, on the way to rifle range last days off, Attachment 247332Attachment 247333
A few photos from a little Ruahine walkabout, all taken on the same day 23/4/24Attachment 248697Attachment 248698Attachment 248699Attachment 248700Attachment 248701Attachment 248702Attachment 248703Attachment 248704Attachment 248705Attachment 248706
Stag in that last photo was one very lucky stag, had him lined up at 470yds but couldn't decide whether to take the shot or not considering the long walk out the next day. But ole staggy decided to lie down so i couldn't see him in the tussock , but a photo is a lot easier to carry!!
I thought I would post up some photos of the past month or so of hunts.
During the roar I got access to a property but hunting is restricted but I didn't care as I was happy to be there out and about enjoying the land scape, bush and animals that were on the place.

Spent some time hunting thar but all the big bulls were way too high in inaccessble areas, managed to come across this nice bull 200 mtrs away but he's not over 13" so i let him be to grow some more.

Been seeing a few of these, while out hunting, fishing and walking the dog, got a tag, but as i don't like bear meat, as usual I haven't bothered, nice big boar seen on Sunday, was pretty close to dumping him, but short on time to deal with animal, got a month off so me and dog are out scouting for birds and deer every day.

is it me old eyes Gkp or is that a very old stag looks like it
You might be right Barry, his high shoulder and droopy neck look like he could be quite old.
Real saggy between the main bone strutchers.

getting a bit long between picture posts,some axis porcinus to wet the appetite
Shifting some stags around this morning handful of hinds in the block tripped over this wee fulla farm deer thoAttachment 263722
Nice to see the blondies... They great at giving away position of mobs,back in the day we never shot the white goats at all and it worked a treat.
Had a cheeky blondy visit me a few minuts ago.Theres a family of them around here.
