@@adamdoig1448 Thanks bro. Yea bro they are big, special animal to hunt

[@jasonbates1407]

Mate that's a mean stag, congrats! Sounds like a decent shot on the run with that cannon also😅

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@jasonbates1407 Thanks mate. Yea the shot was a bit of a fluke really, I almost pulled the trigger twice before I actually did, and if I had I definitely would’ve missed.

Lovely animal, but no Sambar in the South Island though! Good hunt and thank you for sharing.

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@richardt.4224 Thanks mate. Na we are lucky to have them here, but we don’t have Whitetail, Wapiti, Tahr, or Chamois, so you guys win 🥇

[@deertrackernz2203]

Nice one bro, haha the sambar country can be a bloody mission aye!

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@deertrackernz2203 Thanks. Yea bro, once I get a 200ds sambar I’ll probably never go back, it’s nice when you get one, but putting in the effort, and coming back with just scratches and splinters buried under your skin isn’t much fun 🤣

[@deertrackernz2203]

@@NZDeerandDogs hahaha yea i used to hunt them a bit in the pines here in BOP not to bad, but some places get loaded with blackberry, gotta crawl through those tunnels😂 Are you hunting them in BOP or Manawatu?

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@deertrackernz2203 same a you bro, poking around the BOP pines.

[@deertrackernz2203]

@@NZDeerandDogs oh nice, do you live around Whakatane area? I live out by Manawahe, should tee it up and go for a mission some time.

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@deertrackernz2203 Na I’m in Taupo, I do hunt over your way now and then though, so yea we could tee up a mission 👍

[@snoop2477]

Congrats. That's an amazing effort on a really tough animal to stalk

[@NZDeerandDogs]

@@snoop2477 Thanks mate, they are very tough to stalk, mainly their environment which makes them hard, they love burrowing into the thick stuff.
