    Something to look for

    For the last year my brother -in -law and I have been chasing Sambar stags. After putting up several trail camera's and catching a very big stag in September 2015 the quest to get a cross hair on him has been relentless. During the last year we have got many pictures and video's of a lot of Reds and Sambar, especially stags but we did catch another exceptional one several times.
    We have named the biggest, Biggie as you would expect and the other one we named Biggie's Son?, not sure if it is but they are both in the same general area.
    This year we have caught them both several times but Biggie turned up a couple of weeks ago and we got him on three camera's on the same day over about a 2km area.
    When you see the size of these big boys you will understand what takes up our weekends at the moment. Watch this space as we think we have worked out a bit of a pattern and who knows one of us might just trip him up.Name:  Biggie 2015.JPG

    Yeh they sure are beasts, my wife is very understanding and the brother-in law's partner comes along when she can, you might say we are lucky.

    Hope the plan works out, he's a cracker!

    A friend spent several years chasing a large distinctive stag that always seemed to be one step ahead of him. After several sightings over a 1-2 year period he disappeared only to show up on the camera 6 months latter. Long story short the stag eventually made a mistake and my mate was rewarded with a very nice trophy.

    Yes we know the bigger of the two stags is the same one as he has distinctive nicks in his ears, plus one brow tyne has a curl at the tip. Good to hear your mate was rewarded for his effort with a good trophy, HaydonC
    Matto 1234 we think the same as you even if we don't get either stag we have them on film.
    Danny, sometimes and matto1234 like this.
