Awesome. Looks like fun.

Why do you hike out in your underwear? JK :)

Lol, football shorts mate. Where I live in Aust. it just gets too hot in long pants during the rut, plus just find it so much easier traversing the bush in my underwear.

sk1, what sort of opportunities are there in the US for free range Reds?

Jager, no opportunities to hunt them on public land in the U.S. they are only here on high fenced private ranches if you want to pay $3000 to $15000 depending on the size of the animal you want to shoot......not exactly my style of hunting. I put it on the bucket list because I would imagine (havent done any research) I would have to travel to somewhere like New Zealand for good opportunities

Thanks Beastmode.

sk1, the big monster NZ stags you see in many mags come from behind wire too, not hunting for me either. Granted there are some true ripper wild Red stags in NZ and a lot easier to get access to, compared to Australia. If a hunter was to travel from the US to hunt Reds in the South Pacific, NZ is the go, as there is plenty of public land to hunt on, no tags needed, no guide needed and no season, although the rut is the time to do it, late March, early April. It really is not that expensive for DIY.

There are pockets of privately managed herds in Australia that produce great heads, but, very difficult to get access too.

Thankyou Evan.

Here's a few more pics of some hinds and a velvet spiker.

Can someone help me out with posting pics, the image quality doesn't seem to stay when uploaded?
