Thread: STAGS SHOT 2019

Could be right, but that's a good thing I think in light of the current gun situation.

Very true - though duck shooting season just around the corner..

Yeah I was thinking with all the heat recently if we had a hunting mishap or worse a death they’ll look at snatching it away.

Beautiful stags boys !

First public land fallow stag.

Watched him come in croaking hard and steal the ladies off another young fulla. Left him for the afternoon to do his thing then came back in the evening to turn him into sausages.

Pretty badly hurt when he was young, hence the deformed right side.

Mature 8 year old!

Loved it, he is going on the wall. Total trophy!!

Was the old injury on the opposite side of the bad antler??

BTW those are some freaky sunglasses!!!

March/April...

That's a nice fallow head in the middle @Tahr

Rutting tonight and holding a hind. A not very flash 8 pointer.

Nice, Tilly looks pleased.

Thanks. She should be. I couldn't find it for ages and had given up, but after I had climbed up the slip I shot it on a bit she ducked into the bush and found it about 25 yards away. I had been looking too low down, but once she crossed the scent on the slip it was easy peasy for her. That's a problem with the Barnes - not much of a blood trail - in this case not even a drop.

Strange the exit wound looks bloody, usually if the bullet exits you do get a trail, that's where a good dog earns her keep. What caliber, 270 WSM ?

Went out tonight and lucked onto this chap freshening himself up after the roar.

Very nice
What sort of Douglas score would that be? Ballpark?
