    Very happy American this morning.
    We passed up a young stag early and snuck in on another roaring well.
    He pulled off a front on neck shot with his bow at 10 yrs.
    Deer still went 100yrds before we found him.
    5 Yr old smallish head 8pt. Huge body. Easy 110-120kgs gutted and fat as.

    Might be able to get out for a hunt for myself in the next few days.

    They didn't roar till we got them going.
    Climbed up onto a terrace, hit some rubs and wallows and was lucky with the wind. Thought it was going to be a bust but once we got within a 100 yrds they started.
    2 stags roared very well but not what I would call wound up even when we got close.
    Didn't smell anything in the wallows.
    Just starting imo.
    I will post pick once I have permission from the hunter. Never seen a stag at this time of year in such good nic.
    Inch of fat on his back steaks.

    Gunna turn them into bacon

    Got a laugh out of the hunter. He said he thought we were stalking some kind of monster as he has never heard a red roar so close before. Oh and he says we can stuff supplejack up our asses
