New rifle and BBQ meat

[Anotherkiwi]

Got myself a new rifle earlier this month. Its a 7mm Rem Mag with a VX6 scope. Last week I did two separate DOC land hunting trips and each time shot a meat stag. That's about all my knees can take! It was about 2 hrs to my car.

New rifle, while it still looks new!

In total I saw about 12 red deer. I shot a spike and this one which had a poor head.

Saw two ok stags that might be worth a look next month when the antlers are hard.

Have deer, eating stink mutton. Not only upside down but ass backwards as well :) At least the beer will be good.

Beautiful country and pics. Very jealous. Looong 8 months to go up here.

[HoytCRX32]

Great photos. The BBQ looks fantastic.
My wife and I will be in NZ in 3 1/2 weeks....can't wait.

[gs100bert]

looks tasty i like lamb . how far away was it when you shot it and did you get it with your new 7mm . and what is DOC hunt ?

[Anotherkiwi]

Both the deer were pretty close, 88 yards and 170 yards. DOC land is public or crown land I think you call it in Canada?

[Anotherkiwi]

Shot a couple more stags since I last posted, including this one.

Great pictures and pretty cool seeing hunting in a different country with different species.

How may deer are you allowed to hunt?

[Anotherkiwi]

We can shoot as many as we like :) We don't have tags or licenses of any type.

We have the same thing here in Canada, but only a select few have that privilege ;)

Keep posting on our site. I just love seeing stuff from other parts of the world. Seems there are pretty liberal bag limits where you are. Cheers!

Great looking rifle, meat, and country!

[Puma]

Nice pictures, thank you. I can almost smell the lamb.

What are your gun laws like?

Puma

[Anotherkiwi]

Yeah, it was great lamb!

I think we have pretty good gun laws. You just need a firearms permit, which is a simple 30min test and proof that you have safe storage (a cop visits to check) and then you can buy rifles. No gun registration and worries buying suppressor. If you want pistols or full auto guns then you need a further license.

Nice to see hunting there. Thanks for sharing.
