I saw my first shedded stag of the season a few days ago.
Does that mean he was probably the biggest in the area?Quote:

Posted in the taxidermy section already but thought I'd put in her too. A very memorable hunt with my old man back in July produced this great buck. Still stoked with him, almost ready to come inside as a euro mount.
