    @Jus have you cracked the 100km yet?

    You have certainly beaten last years stag. And this years one was not living in Africa either by the looks of it

    Well done

    A mate and I did 109 logged km, there was one big day that my phone was turned off for as I’d forgotten to charge it up the night before. Estimated that day between 8-12 kms based on other days of that size. Pretty worn out now, sipping a cold beer and booking a Thai massage for tomorrow hahaha lost count of how many animals we saw at 50 or so half way through the 2 weeks. Have already put in my leave for the same 2 weeks next year!!!

    Good morning with the boys today, a lengthy stalk and him catching us off guard stalking us, resulted in a close range encounter at 30m. Astonished to find a projectile when removing his jaw! I run the 145gr eldx which has a boat tail and no cannelure. So this poor bugger had been shot in the head previously and still kicking around absolutely fine!

    Great job and congrats. Quite the story finding a bullet lodged in his jaw. Makes your stag quite unique.

    Good day out and about yesterday. Seven year old Spence with his first proper stag and a neat 12 pointer I managed to snag as well. Both roaring nicely.
