    A dirty old 8. wasn't very sporting of me, shot him at 670m to test the eldms as I've just changed to them. Stood for 3 seconds then croaked it.

    Shot the top stag this morning been after it for over a month.
    My son has had bolt closed on him twice for him to walk off or go behind a tree. Unfortunately son didn't come this morning. Seen him couple times in Velvet. Older stag maybe 8ish in very poor condition been working very hard. took the cape from him.
    Quick measure 40inch long 38 wide

    Excellent. Big strong tines on that bottom one.

    @hebe is right first seen this on 1st JAN. Hes been living in a little native block and coming out on to the grass. As i said i have tried my hardest to get this stag for my son. The last couple weeks i tracked him down to see him in a broken bush gully over the boundary fence and given up on seeing him again. Been in there for a couple of weeks with a heap of hinds. This morning i went out that way and happen to be pushed back in to our place.
    Had a good sleep in the chair after lunch

    Good man. I've been hunting fifty seven yrs and nothing like the bottom one has ever stopped to say hello.
