@Sideshow my luck might have run out. Went out sat arvo and seen not a bad stag mature might even been going backwards, carried on along the ridge with the option of a better inspection latter that evening. Only gone half hour when i spotted a good stag sitting down under a tree . watched it for a good hour and decided it was a shooter and thats when it went pear shape.
I heard the thud and seen it roll over and legs kick in the air, next minute it was up and gone. Seen it going over the ridge 20m above with a few other deer. Went over to where it was and couldn't find any blood. Wasn't worth going back with my dog as to many other scents around. Will be back in the same area over the next few weeks so i will keep on looking. First animal i have lost in a while and keep on playing it over and over in my head
