 This stag was taken by Andrew Pocklington and is his best to date. It took three days of hunting and it seemed like everything
was against him. On the first day he was too far away. The second day saw no opportunities present themselves.
And the third day seemed to be turning out the same as the rest. There was a breeze about and the mob of deer
were skiddish. Add to this the fact that they were in a clump of dark tree ferns and it was wet, and it seemed as
though failure was following him. But soon Andrew was sighting up the stag and the shot was loosed. |

 This huge stag was taken by Owen Claridge with one shot from his 300 Win Mag. It was around 6 hours after he left camp
that morning, and in the mid afternoon around 3pm on Thursday 27th May 2010. By the time Owen had skun the animal,
it was too late to walk back to camp safely, so he spent a rather uncomfortable night curled up next to a log by the river
covered in only a survival blanket. You know how heavy those heads and capes are? Owen found that with the weight
of both of them in his daypack, it was too dangerous to travel back to camp with only a head torch. Every step he took
saw him caught up and tangled in every wattle and vine. “It was an excellent head and should score reasonably
well” Owen says “ as there was not too much overspread although the brows are not huge”. The length was
approx 33 1/2 inches and the spread was around the 36 1/2 inch mark. The beams are so thick that Owen can barely get
his hands around them. And in fact they were 8 inches in circumference. This stag is much better than the 29 1/2 incher he took last year. |

 Jim Craze is one of our New South Wales members and hunts with a bow and arrow.
He currently holds the No 1 Australian bow shot sambar deer, but as you can see he is no slouch
at the fallow deer either. Jim’s son Peter also hunts with the bow
and arrow, and recently had a spiker at about 10 yards, but no shooting lane presented itself.
So far Peter has had four shots but been unsuccessful; a bit of buck fever maybe?
