Head now hanging in ("dead tree") my little wife's ornamental Hornbeam tree one frustrated Labrador eyeing it up everyday he hasn't mastered a step ladder yet unlike my 1st one but that is another story.

Two wallows 100M apart flat clear ground in between was where I found the stag if it was shot it would have been recovered a blind man wouldn't have missed it. My theory is that a couple of stags were having a set to one come off 2nd best
