    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Nice. Awesome finish on the antlers. Looks like they have been varnished.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Shot another stag today.
    Bit of a munter but very interesting.

    Went for an impromptu hunt early this morning.
    Saw a stag and spiker very early at 600m in the half light for only a couple of seconds.
    Got into shooting range and found the spiker bedded down at 400m at around 9am.
    Watched him for the next 6 hours knowing that the better stag was somewhere just inside the bush edge or close but out of sight somewhere.
    The spiker got up 2 times and turned around, but lay down in the exact same place again and was just clear of the cover for the whole 6 hours.
    Around 3:30pm the spiker got up and moved into the bush, reappearing withing 5 minutes with the bigger stag also and fed along a bush edge.
    Regulation 400m shot and the 10 pointer was down.
    Just interesting to know that the 10 pointer had spent the whole day just inside the bush edge and in the shade, while the spiker had been having a delightful time just in the open and even getting some direct sunlight on him. Some of the time he was bent double with his head resting on his rump just like my dog does.
    I was in the shade out of their sight and bloody cold the whole time.
