    @223nut year fricken sucks and the highway agency cleaned up the carcass as well so the heads gone.
    Not sure if it would have survived the impact.
    Just heard that they had a skin full and from the look of the impact damage done to the car where way over the speed limit.
    Now that really sucks.
    Anyway I guess I'll just need to look for another our hope the new mr big moves into the hole provided.

    I camped out last night to see what was going on and hoping to see a good stag I've been watching. I saw 15 deer of various shapes and sizes but the biggest head was an 8. He didn't look like he had finished growing his velvet.

    On reflection I'm glad I didn't see Mr Big because it avoided me being temped to shoot him in the velvet and being disappointed if he was soft on the tips.

    I will have another look in a couple of weeks. He's a dilemma because these stags clear off to elsewhere before the roar and I want to catch him in the hard, but before he disappears. A narrow window.

    Haven’t really been looking too hard. Saw a nice wee 10 on Thursday that needs a couple of years. Still 3 weeks from hardening off. And saw a mob of 7-8 young stags last Friday but they were all little fellas.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
