Real shame those tynes are broken, the other tynes being so strong the treys were likely a very good length, could of put 10 - 12 inches on him. Great tops and balance

Farking ripper! Congrats

just a wee falla...but its the biggest Ive shot so far....AND he tastes great...my wife had some before dinner and said preferred it to the red we had for mains...those who know her will know what a HUGE turnaround that is.

@Micky Duck you definitely need some practice on the scalping front……..your ment to take the hair off the top of the head

yeah yeah...its waiting to become maggoty,then will sit in big bucket of soil for 6 mths (on shed roof AWAY from dogs)..not huge fan of boiling out...dont know why,just the way Ive always dont it.

The maggys will clean it spotless.

Anyone still getting heads? Got this young 9 yesterday in the native

Been working my arse off to try get this guy, he’s a bit younger than I thought he was but ohwell. Steep bluffy and down right dodgy to get into a shooting position, plus get to him and get out with the head and some meat. Had seen him regularly from 1.5 km away but after spooking him once, running out of daylight and hesitating over the amount of distance to cover let alone the sheer steepness and c@&$ty type of ground it is, finally got him. I though africa was the arsehole of the world, turns out this stag was happily living in it 😂
