    Some sika stags over the last week, some unique heads including an 11pt Stag.

    Funnily enough it was pure sika, skull marks, brow position, skull length all Sika.

    It won't score well on DS, small brows and trey tines, over spread and a weak inner/outer on one top.

    Took my boys out for a overnighter last night, and we got this fella right on dark. Boys spotted him before me, he came trotting in on us so it was pretty exciting! Gutted him in the dark, to go back and get decent photos this morning. Pleased I made that decision now. This morning we could have shot a couple more and roared in a decent red as well, so a pretty memorable little mission for the lads
