    Nice spiker.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    No story really. Let out a couple of roars at an old stag we were watching and this fella came up for a look. Got to within 15 metres

    Possibly, last year Beeman and his son were just about run over by a stag while having a cup a tea. Beeman's son managed a snap shot as it run past the vehicle but only nicked and the next day the trail camera's picked a stag with blood trickling down it's side. It was walking fine ( no limp) and was about 3-4 Kms from where he shot it so we figured it was OK.
    This stag is close to the area where they shot and lost the other, most likely the say one and may be the reason he has the deformity.
