    Wow that’s one very nice looking Sika @JMJW did he give you a good stalk?
    Looks a bit moist
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Bumped him in some thicker stuff but he wasn’t sure what was going on and then mewed back and fourth to each other for 15 seconds and he walked out 15m-20m away. Was a very wet trip but well worth it!

    Not yet but will do once it’s all cleaned up. Yeah it’s pretty even, one top unfortunately has a chunk missing off it

    These are the 3 sika stags we took back in April. All were roaring or came into roars.

    Got this 12 on saturday morning. 350 yard shot with the old faithful 300wm dropped him on the spot. 2 of his mates took off up the ridge but they got away. Pretty happy hes my best head in 18 years of hunting deer.
