    Nice Fallow buck that myself and 2 of my young fellas managed to tip over last weekend.
    I have let a whole heap of young or smaller stags and bucks walk over the last year or 2 hoping that I would bump into one like this and I was finally rewarded!
    Not a perfect head but a bloody nice one all the same

    Just out from 5 nights in the Bush.

    Few stags going still but not well enough to get onto them that way.

    All animals were shot on the stalk, seemed to be quite a few decent animals around this year. Saw 3 8 pointers over 4 days hunting and took the fella on the right, nice representative 8 pointer and the best I've seen in the area in 3 years of hunting there.

    Mate shot the one in the middle, only his second ever sika (first sika a spiker shot beginning of the trip.) huge bodied animal, and the thickest main beams I've ever seen on a sika. Impressive old beast he was.
    @Rusky shot the fella on the left. Bloody good few days.

    My efforts for April, No world beaters but the big Red off a private forestry is a PB for me, and the smaller Red was my first ever deer off public land. Despite its small size, its actually pretty representative of the block it came out of. Way too many deer there and I suspect nutrition is limiting.
    The Fallow is my second buck ever, and my first for 15 years. Shot on the back of farmland. All in all Im pretty pleased.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
