Well after missing out on this years Roar because of an Unknown Virus that crippled my health for 6 weeks

was disapointing to say least...
My healths back now so I decided to try a different approach.
I started looking over some old local Hunting grounds in nearby Erua Forest,This time of year one would think a Stag needs Sun and food,so I decided to check over a handy catchment deer numbers are low these days thanks to 2 drops of Aerial 1080

but a few of us locals have known about a fairly decent stag thats been sighted on the odd occasion in the past couple of years..

.
A few days ago I was in position freezing my balls off watching the sun go down on the opposite face,when right on dark this Big! Boy showed himself

Knowing i only had seconds to pull off a tricky shot I wasted No time...when I reached the scene 1 more shot was required and this Bewdy! 13pt Erua Stag was mine

I went back next morning with my mate to take some photos etc... I count myself very Fortunate! to have scored such a Stag in todays circumstances
considering the Abuse the Great! King Country herd has had to endure...
