        Still no pics. Jerry did send an email with specifics. 22 points. 387 5/8. I also know he got it with a 3 blade Rage, 60 lb Allegiance, and maxima 350 arrow. Yardage or other specifics will have to wait. They also said they misjudged it by 30 inches. He may be broke now. LOL

                      For a 387" stag the answer is alot. I know that I worked a deal with the guy that HuntForHorns and I were trying to book with and the best I could do was a stag up to 340" for $4,900. That was a 3 day hunt in a nice lodge and included my wife coming along as a non-hunter. Flights to NZ can be found pretty easily for $800 or so depending on what your final destination is. I figured that by the time I paid to fly over, paid for the hunt, spent a couple of days after the hunt and shipped my cape and horns home it was going to cost me at least $8,000 plus taxidermy. That was keeping it all on a pretty tight string money wise. All in all I really figured it would end up costing me $10,000 including taxidermy for a 340" or smaller stag. Prices increase quickly when you start getting into bigger stag.

                        I also have to point out that the outfitter that we were looking at had a very nice lodge which was important to me as I was planning on taking the wife along. I am sure that you could rough it a little bit more and knock off a little bit but it seems like they are all around the same price.

                              Just got off the phone with Bobby. Wanted to make sure we got the protein for the Junco ordered. Didn't talk but just a second. He's after a fallow now. He said his was a monster. He said Jerry's look like a prehistoric monster and may be the new no. 2 archery stag. He said when they get a chance, they'll send pics. Personally, I can't wait. If he doesn't send pics pretty quickly, I may have to fly over there and kick his hiney. I guess I'd take my bow. LOL
