[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 1222819, member: 74047"] Thanks for the advice mate! Personally I don't understand the term "still hunting", seeing as the act of still hunting requires you to not be still!? Trophy size red stags is a pretty loose term here. The things from nz you see with points and mass everywhere are the equivalent to 350" whitetail. They grow up in 10 acre paddocks and get released to bigger HF parks for hunting. Wild trophy red stags are generally 33-36" long exceptional ones can hit 40". 12 to 14 points is considered trophy with anything more being exceptional. This is my muzzleloader red stag from this year, he's an old 6x6 and classes as a free range trophy. As for roos, they're protected unless you're off the land and have permits which I'm lucky to have. If you're ever interested in a hunt swap I'm keen to get over to the states after a nice buck myself one day. Could try for a stag here and if you couldn't manage at least 10-20 roos in two or three days I'd call it a rough trip! They aren't too bad on the table either but are quite often a bit wormy so I don't eat them much. [/QUOTE]
