Very cool. Congrats. Love the coloring of those deer.
Bowhunted them in Australia during the rut, and it was a blast. They are aggressive, vocal, and can be called and rattled in. You can have a great, affordable hunt for multiple species in Oz for the price of one hunt here in the states, no limit, no licenses.
Nice! great video, For the life of my I dont know why more people dont hunt them there headgear is awesome!
Thanks for sharing the video Andy... fantastic!
Awesome video, awesome animal.
Very nice! I truly enjoyed it.
Congrats on a fine trophy animal!
Best Wishes, Jeff
Those who hunted there, what time of year were you there? I'm going down in spring of 2015
Frank, The rut is around Easter in Aus. Wrong time of year for your trip mate.
Any footage of your red stag hunting this year?
I need to find a way down there.
Pretty cool. I arrowed my first fallow buck last week in New Zealand. Just a spike but I look forward to hunting then during the rut.
Aargh!! Stop it Andy!! You know I'm in the UK where we have masses of Fallow, but no bowhunting...thankfully the British Bowhunters Association is working hard to get bowhunting reintroduced
Cracking buck though

Did the Libs move Easter ? Somebody tell me these things. :)
Even more of a reason to try and get back to the south pacific and hunt.
Great video Andy! Man! That arrow barely slowed down!
The Rut is in April, There is a strong Fallow deer herd in Australia, It would support some world class animals if we did'nt have every tom, dick and harry out there trying to "eradicate" the "feral" deer...
These deer are crazy vocal during the rut, like no other animal iv hunted in that regard, makes for some excellent bowhunting!
Amazing what a VPA on the front of a goldtip can do out of a well tuned bow Jim. Man I cringe watching the US shows where arrow after arrow don't go right through whitetail...Its rare for us not be be picking our arrow up out the dirt on anything other then Buffalo.
Glad you guys liked the Video.
Awesome video! Those deer are very cool
Is there a lot of public land there that you can hunt? I know little about Australia except I'd like to go!
Seems like there is tons of game.
Have you tried any Easton FMJs Andy?
There is some public but you really need private access Jim. I use GoldTip Kinetics have for years.
Great video and congrats on a super buck!
They are also one of the best tasting game animals I have ever had!
