Chris-NZ Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Here's a fairly sizeable red stag a mate shot last week. He was dropping it off to have the skull boiled etc when I grabbed a photo of it. His 7-08 put it straight down with a frontal shot through the brisket at 50m but it showed signs of getting back up so he put a finisher in it. BTW, 23 points so it must have been the offspring of some escapee farm animal. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 No idea Andy, didn't ask him but he's only having the better cuts converted into smallgoods. Shoots heaps of deer so can afford to be fussy. Speaking of size, a couple of years ago Richard "Hannibal" Hayes, a prominent chopper pilot in Fiordland, got a red stag that gutted went 250kg (550lb) on the scales. He's harvested tens of thousands from a chopper over the years but this was the biggest he'd ever shot. Might have had a touch of wapiti in it to be that huge.
