Thanks mate! Yeah it was something else seeing 4 on top walk through the crownfern! Makes it even more special that it was in a heavily hunted area not known for good stags on average. One of my...

Cheers mate thought you'd be keen to see this. I'm sure you can guess where it came from looking at the tops! Went 38" long on one side, pretty epic hunt doesn't get better than that for me

Ripper sika! Young fulla will be stoked. The one thing I miss about the north island.

Shot probably my stag this roar. Ripper catlins stag couldn't believe it. Bloody...

Yep. No recoil and hit like a hammer. Accurate too.

Yep luckily all guns have been paid out at replacement value. The other rifles are possible for bolt replacements but not the sako. I see there's 2 75 708s on trademe at the moment.

Hi. I've recently had my house broken into and my ammo box was stolen with the bolts inside.

From what I can gather the only way to replace it is to buy another 75 for the bolt and get it...

A couple of nice coastal southland bush stags. My mate come down from Queenstown for a day trip to see how I bush hunt as he hasn't done it too often. Middle of the day a...

Last roar I just used a tomato sauce bottle and seemed to work a treat �� a Powerade bottle goes good too. Don't want anything too big so it can hang around your neck and slip down the inside of your...

Yep quickest way is the from the te iringa carpark, allow 4 hours to the swingbridge. How many days do you have up your sleeve?

I live down south now but that area is still my all time favourite....

I've used the superformance 168gr eld m with good results, surprisingly holds together far better than SST. Was getting 2670fps out of an 18" barrel! I didn't like the recoil though.

The 130gr...

Definitely the best cal for shooting pigs in the bail though. Mine is suppressed and has next to no recoil, the .44sp ammo is fun to plink with too. Without a suppressor it definitely has a...

I've shot a couple deer with my .44 goes ok not enough penetration for shoulder shots on good sized reds, shallow damage for sure.

I've still got fur from before covid, bring back the days of $140 a kg!

The weather is terrible too �� couldn't think of a worse place to live to be honest.

To be honest, most of the deer I've shot in the bush hasn't been when I've been stalking super quietly or slowly. I've found getting to know 1 area really well instead of chasing different blocks...

Hey mate how's it going? How do you go about getting in there? Thought you needed to be in the deer stalkers for access?

If you don't mind company I've got a couple of pig dogs.

Cheers.

I use a Bushnell trs25 on my 44. Bloody impressed with it and makes shooting in the bail a lot easier. My rifle fell off the bonnet of my truck onto the road directly onto the scope and it still held...

18" .308 running 168gr eldm @ 2670fps seems to do a bit of this and that at any range, much better than sst at close range. Just wouldn't use it on a red at 15m in the roar apart from that it's the...

Camo by myself but wear blaze if I'm with others. Only place I've ever needed it was the kaimanawas.

Easy access to mataura range, east dome on the other hand is no access unless you raft down the river. Ridiculous amount of deer through that area, below average antler quality too worse than the...

A lot of built up areas in southland because half the public land you can't get access to.

Best boot I ever had was the Nevada legends. Unfortunately gone up to $730 from $580 when I bought them, can't justify spending that much on boots.

Solid 11 the other week. Chased a spiker off 10m in front and pretty much ran into me. A shoulder shot sent him running, while I was waiting for him to die he gets up again so I put another...

Went out for a wee walk this morning, a few moans here and there but no replies. It's been a very late roar this year!

Cheers mate. A few years gone into getting this stag, a truly special moment.
