Yep, out of velvet.... Blurry shot of him at night, 4 pointer is yet to start stripping. Yet to see him in the flesh, haven't had the time lately, too busy showing other people around!!

Holy shit 223nut as veitnamcam said that is one very nice head!
He even looks like he is smiling for the camera, bit on a lean there though? Is he on the side of a hill our has he been in your hooch while you where off the island
Do you think you can catch up with this one?

@Sideshow Cheers, hoping to catch up with him with you camera and get a decent photo while he is in velvet and put a canvas on the wall, this pic isn't going to cut it. Not bad off a trail cam though

you should put a chair under the camera & each week add a little more to it perhaps start off with some , boots (mite pay to put some celery in them) , stubbies , flano by the end of it youl be able to slip in there at 10.34 am the deer will be non the wiser

Make sure that sx50 is mounted to your scope ...that buck is far to good to pass up !

finally some heavy rain on the east coast should make things quieter under foot, full those wollows. seen a heap of deer in the last 24hr hinds feeding on all the fresh grass about and stags seem to be mobbed up still where i hunt. Only one good head seen, a young ten pointer with a thumper head so hopefully he finds a good hiding spot for a couple years

stags holding hinds starting to go through the motions now. just need the weather to do its bit and they will be in to it. one stag heard roaring mid week.

I went out thismorning on the spot at first light wind was good id planned a bit of a hunt around some top,s scrub country heard a couple roaring but stuck to the plan I looked over on the face I was working towards & saw 7 hinds mobed up didn't see the stag but figured must be one there somewhere fog came in so 20 minutes latter I was closer & it had cleared animals had gone so I sat down on a tussock for a while then spotted a young stag maybe 6 or 8 point he was like a dog nose in the fern trying to follow where the hinds had walked I watched him for a while I did think of blooding the new rifle but thought better of it thinking there must be something better around if the tussocks hadn't been so wet I probably would have curled up & had a snooze but stags where roaring here n there so I kept watching I must have sat there a good hour then from no where there he was a monster he just immerged from the scrub huge black rack white points I never had time to count the points but I didn't have to his spread would have been a meter or more massive thick tops I grabbed that gun & wound it up to 18 power lined him up & all of a sudden I was feeling a little wobbly so I basically fluffed around trying to line up on a crappy tussock bush then monkey scrub neither worked then I sat down & rested on my knee by then he,d moved into the scrub I think he mite have heard me rustling around but never winded me I gave a roar & he just turned and looked over but all I could see was a big black rack ,neck a foot wide & a bit of his back...gone
I reckon he was around 350 away I probably shouldn't have wound my scope on full power kicking my self now it was habit as my 2506 scope only go,s to 7 so usually wind it rite up , on the bright side he,s pretty much undisturbed would have been worse if I had missed or wounded him there was no point going in after him so I sat there for another hour but he never reappeared ..il be back tomorrow first light !!!
