If we are correct in the estimates it would put him up there in the top 4 or Sambar in NZ. Phil Chalmers who does a lot of measuring Sambar and who has a book at print at the moment on Sambar...

We have thought that as there are Rusa in the area. The body on PD is Sambar but if he has Rusa in him it may show in the antlers. I shot a nice Mule Deer in Canada at my son's and the body was all...

Can only but keep trying.

Sideshow we have tried to guess the length by using the skull length method. The average skull length of a Sambar stag (adult) is about 17 inches, by using this which is a bit rough we think he could...

Wildman the brows do look short but most likely are better than they look due to the length of the main beams, would be good to even find one of his casts that would give us a pretty good idea on...

You are dead right on that one.

Wildman you are correct ,we think he has to be up there in the DS the only place he may lack is in brow tine length the rest of his antler growth is great. It is amazing how far these stags move...

It's been a while since the camera's have picked up on our star attraction PD. Beeman checked wallow cam yesterday and sure enough PD was there in all his glory around mid day on Saturday.
Funny...

The weekends camera check revealed plenty of deer moving about but no further shots of PD this time round. There were several shots of a reasonable stag on a couple of camera's ( see Trail Cam Pic's)...

One thing we did notice when checking the camera's was a new Sambar Stag at several of the camera's which was a bit of a worry as it may have suggested that PD was not in residence any more.
The...

Well Beeman has been busy this weekend , but more on that later. Saturday morning had us checking a few spots early in the piece but to no avail. We then split up to check the camera lines. It has...

Looks like spring has sprung up our way.

Yeh we had a good weekend but this weekend was better, Beeman blooded his new Swaro HD5 with two Redskins, one at 273 m and the other at 300 m, me I bombed another Sambar at 50 yards the 6.5x55 works...

We find that red deer is better but it makes good small goods like sausages , and salami. It is a personal taste as some people like it as steak etc but there are better in our opinion.

The weekend didn't result in a big set of antlers but Beeman caught PD passing one of his camera's on the 28th so it looks like the doggers haven't pinged him which is good. Going around the camera's...

Here are a couple of shots, one of PD and the other a promising looking stag which needs 3 - 4 years to become a great trophy.9413194132

The problem with there patterns is they move a lot at night although we got some good pics in a wallow at 11.30 in the morning and was there for a while. We have thought of the tree stand but as he...

Here is a great shot of PD from last weekends pictures, hopefully Beeman can send a few more through shortly94089

With the weekend just gone being the first time we have checked most the camera's for three weeks due to possum op's so we were real keen to see what had been about. Both the camera's on wallows had...

That would be cool Rod, been a while since you hunted up North, bit different to the wide open spaces of the South. ( mind you, there is some thick stuff down there.)

Sure is Gibo, ,this weekend just gone we checked most of the camera's and along with another average size Sambar Stag we got PD on four different camera's. The picture above is on a new spot within...

Nice to hear from you Rod. We sure hope to get a look at him soon he is one cracker of a stag. The Video we got last weekend was fantastic. Have to have a talk on the land line soon, away this week...

Well today was a good day for stalking/ camera checking , no wind overcast and cool with rain in the forecast and despite all this Beeman and I both never even spooked an animal today. We did get the...

Yep, we usually only shoot these big boys if they are close to the road and down hill, dragging 160-200 kg uphill even with a couple of you ain't going to happen. The last stag I shot on Anzac Day we...

Over the last couple of weekends we have been busy checking the camera's for the big boys who are busy rutting. Beeman has had our big boy PD show up a couple of times and has spent a bit of time...
