Thread: First stag

Thought I would share this,shot in the Woods Point area in Victoria on a backpack hunt.I had never shot a stag before,and said to my mate the first thing with bone is going down.I listened to 3 deer munching on blackberries below me but couldn't get a view of them due to the steep gradient and Birgitta of the bushes.Then for some reason I cast my head to the left and saw this fella preaching about 30 metres away.A shot from the 30-06 into his chest and he took off.Caught up with him a short time later and put a finisher in him.
