The sako 123gr game head factory load worked well for me in smacking goats with my wee model seven in 308. Was not a reduced recoil load but definitely softer than a full house 150/165gr load. I...
The goal for this year was more hinds than stags, the evening I shot that six point stag I really should have shot the hind and yearling instead. The ledger so far is 3 yearling hinds and 3 stags so...
With a classic crappy winters day I was looking back at the adventures so far this year. After a couple of years of grinding away hunting at every opportunity this year has been a bit tougher to get...

10 1/4" buck from early April, caught him in his bed.
A cheeky Monday mission for a wee marlborough scrubber and a nice 10 for my mate. Both moaning and holding hinds but not going off.

Got this guy at the end of February, he took a decent tumble after the shot and snapped a couple of tines of and his main beam. Never seen such a fat stag from kaikoura.

Get a grip! You do not point a firearm at anything you are not willing to kill. Full stop.

What a sweet project, nice work. Where did you source the timber blank from?
I've always just used it for a spooked animal but I had a go at using it this roar, once I'd located a stag (heard or sighted) I'd roar very occasionally but use a hind call every few minutes. Got me...
I moved down to Central Otago (Cromwell) in early Feb following an opportunity with the company I’d been working for in Christchurch. The first port of call was to find a few spots to go looking for...
I never knew about the royal/inner off back tine imbalance but after looking closer at some pics of rakaia stags its definitely obvious now. Cheers for that Mathias :)
Couldn't say for sure. He was living in a pretty steep catchment so there'd be many ways a deer could have a tumble or get caught out by falling rocks. He wasn't in great condition but he seemed to...
Found this unlucky stag in Arthurs. He had a badly broken back leg as well as a broken front shin.

Public land and roaring, pretty stoked with him:thumbsup:
Heard my first stag for the 2013 roar last night, wild stag. Not to aggresive more just throaty moans. Still exciting :)
