Found him with 6 mixed age hinds at 1500m and pulled off an easy stalk in to 310m for a short wait and regulation shot in the shoulder.

Nice to finally get him as I had seen him a couple of times last year also.

He was a big unit but in poor condition compared to the stags I shot during the roar.

Nice. Tell us about your pup?
