Heard dannyb has seen something..... Awaiting photos
Burp.... Nah lost 10kg so far this summer!
Likely he will be shot before his prime, in an area which gets a lot of pressure, he is safe on one side of the road.... Plenty of others animals around if folks are meat hunting
131583 this guy needs another year or two
Yep, still need a week or two by the looks of the tines
Horrible photo I know... Used phone e to take photo on sx50 from trail cam card.....131569
The 8point buck I'm keeping tabs on is still heavy velvet and no signs of stripping yet.... Having said that a few years ago I shot one hat was fully stripped and stained then 2 days later 3km away...
Nope 2 8point of whitetail bucks on the camera so for but keep leaving the sd card in the camera so no pics to put up
Rushy the first European settlers would be proud of that view from your front door......
+1 also having them around for visitors is always nice
It can take its time kicking off, I won't be in the hills for another month....
DISLIKE
And I thought the whitetail were small...
Sounds like someone needs a bottle of single malt
Boaraxa any luck his morning???
Sideshow was a bloody good head I saw pics of last week.... Real long range.... Over the edge of the boat with a pocket knife, from memory he was a 6 or 8 with...
Haven't been looking, found a wee freezer filler but no time to put into the big guy
That's the spirit, maybe you develop a bad cold this evening and need a few days of work next week....
Yep, out of velvet.... Blurry shot of him at night, 4 pointer is yet to start stripping. Yet to see him in the flesh, haven't had the time lately, too busy showing other people around!!
Gold, but there is a tree stand with in a 200m so think that's going to be my spot with the sx50 you don't need to be close!
Sideshow Cheers, hoping to catch up with him with you camera and get a decent photo while he is in velvet and put a canvas on the wall, this pic isn't going to cut it. Not bad off a trail cam though
Sideshow you wanted pics
Ignore time and date, was too lazy to reset it when I put the new batteries in
He guy I got last night was still in velvet, didn't look further other than he was a nice spiker for the freezer
Whitetail make for easy carrying as well as being rather tasty
Not on the island now, in North Canterbury so presume reds. White tail dont roar anyway which makes them boring to some extent.
