Shit mate be hundreds and hundreds, local guys all hammer them and then guys fly in and attack them too.

This evenings effort after a few days of not so nice stuff weather wise.

@Sideshow - ripper buck mate.

I'm off chasing them a few evenings this coming week. Can't wait!

neat little deer looks in very light condition the rut or lots of deer ???

Nice deer and memories there in the last few days.Well done all.

Big bodied 13 from yesterday, snapped Bez. Was another even better stag nearby that had one whole beam snapped off from above the trez so I guess they'd been going at it

Got a young baby at home this year so things were restricted to one morning hunt for myself and one evening hunt with the old man. Stags were roaring hard and I mucked up 2 other opportunities before catching up with this young 11 and one of his girlfriends, made for a heavy pack and a long "morning" (started at 4am, got to the ute at 3pm)

Then almost finished it off perfectly that evening with the old man on his biggest fallow buck but we never could find it in the bush after his shot, no blood though so appears to have been a clean miss.

PB Red stag.

that dog looks pleased too
