Nice stag TJ, looks like he has some mass
We have an invite to go over there hunting with another taxidermist friend and we can't wait to do it. It looks like beautiful country. Good luck on the rest of your hunts.

Can't wait to rib him over a 167 yard miss! I know the chamois are small targets but you've seen the size of deer he shoots. He is usually up to the challenge of a small target...

Default Hello from New Zealand

V and Sheephunter sitting here in New Zealand. We have had an absolutely amazing couple of days so far. This morning we got on a big fallow buck and I shot him at 300 yards. We finished up in time to be back at the main lodge for a nice bite to eat. This afternoon we will head out in search of chamois. After that we head north in pursuit of Tahr.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

Sounds like Sheephunter is getting weak in his old age, a missed shot on a hunt of a lifetime and he hits camp for lunch! Get back in the game 'ol boy, dont let off, you gotta want it! Congrats guys.

TJ broke the chamois curse yesterday. We head a few hours north in search of tahr later today.
Chamois down
