he was 13 points and scored 153 6/8 which i understand is a pretty good head for taranaki.i had to cross the river to get him but after cleaning him out i just couldn't pick him up so left him there the night.my mate derryn came back with me the next day to lift his ass onto the bike.body wise i reckon this guy must have been 75 kg.he was croaking hard out and had a couple of hinds with him although they weren't really paying much attention to him.half an hour after i got this guy another stag started up so its good to know that is a few around.i'm taking some time off before and after easter in a couple of weeks and heading out to the same area.happy hunting everyone
