Cant say enough of how proud I am of this young man. Jackson you’re a legend. After 5 days hunting dawn till dusk, thick bush and steep ridges in the whirinaki public land. On the last night Jackson and I finally found a stag to answer our roars. After a mission to get to him we closed the into 60m and begin to roar and hind call. The stag crashed in and Jackson was able to get an arrow into him. It was late so we backed out and headed back to camp. The next morning we made our way back to where we left the blood trail and completed the tracking finding Jackson’s first deer and a public land red stag to boot. Congratulations Jackson one of the greatest moments of my bowhunting career
