I have been getting a lot of photos and videos but its a pita to upload to host them hence I get a bit lazy at times. This stag near 200 in bed was a photo essay subject at 70 eventually.
This pic or part of the original was a chance happening that unfolded after a long stalk to another stag.

Ridiculously good photos! Im not sure those outside NZ and Aus could know how hard it is under our conditions to get such pics. Its harder than most of what you see in National geographic.
Given that the basic principles of hunting are the same everywhere, this Pom thinks that the pom who believes stalking in our bush is the same as stalking in the UK has never hunted Sambar.

------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Nah, I like it. A classic silhouette.

That last one though Gryph, is a hunting photo big time! its that moment through the scrub where you have little time to decide to take the shot in the gap.

You got it Shanks,fuck me it took a long circuitous route to get to to where I took the pics from and they (two boys) sussed me below them coming through the timber and rocks. As you know the sights your camera sees through trees isn't the same as your vision. They looked great with the early morning sun on them.

It has its good and also its bad and when the shit hits the fan they head to the bad. You only have to go over the hill a little and it is bad lol.

Might want a decent one at that range. The season is all about face mate,hes only just rubbed out,note lack of tannin stains on rear of tops etc.Other stags are still in late velvet....the big boys haven't come out to play as yet in my neck of the woods.
