Nice stag!
The Danes do love their hunting, one of my friends is a regular visitor hunting with me, although he now lives in the adjacent county.
When do they shed the velvet?
Cheers
Richard

You keep putting up stories and pictures, pretty soon there's going to be a near middle-aged man from eastern North Dakota putting out the SOS to tag along. Well done!

Is his gun barrel spray painted red?

live free or die..........what's on your menu ?.........North Is. or South Is. ? Tahr or Reds ?

I leave LAX on May 12 and arrive Christchurch 14th in the morning. Depart on 27th.
Plan on hunting the Westcoast for tahr but that depends on the weather. Obviously I'll take a red if the opportunity presents itself.
A friend is supposed to go with me but he still hasn't bought his tickets yet. So I'm preparing to go it alone because I don't believe anybody that doesn't have a ticket in hand.
Are you going for big game only or are you going to hunt waterfowl too ?

My plan is hopefully Tahr,chamois and like you red if it works. I have a friend at DOC who is a big waterfowl guy, so probably a day or two with him Canterbury way. Also have a mate in Teano I would love to see if time allows. I'm sure my son would be game for whatever, and at 22 more fit than me. Thinking about east coast, west coast then south land. Have 4 weeks.
