    FB full of people shooting velvet stags, some under the heading of Venison Hunters. Then asking how to get the velvet cured as a 'trophy'. We are not great at game management I feel? Just came back from a deer hunt myself - shot 2 young hinds, saw a few velvet stags - they can grow out. Back in Nov was on a tahr hunt with others - shot a few nannies though admit one of the group shot a juvenile bull in error in the group. Greg Duley and Co are completely correct about our approach to game management.

    I've seen that. I definitely hate seeing those big stags shot before their prime and your not allowed to say anything about or you get kicked off the page.

    To be fair, although it’s tough to see, most of those stags are shot in a paddock on old mates farm after a 5min walk from the truck in their red bands. For the most part the other 99 percent of us would never have had the opportunity at those animals anyway.
