    Wicked stag, some people go all their lives without taking an 8 point Jap so I think you should pat yourself on the back, well Done.

    @Tahr you need a dog pack for Tilly, she could carry half of it for you.

    I thought about it when she was younger but decided that the weight bearing would age her prematurely (like it has me ) and I wanted her to last because she is likely my last dog. As it is she is wearing out faster than I hoped. She's 11 next moth and is quite stiff and sore after a days hunt. That was the 129th deer she and I have shot together.

    Happy hunter from yesterday. Note the short arrow in the holder. I found it on the other side of some windfall the stag went thru and broke off.

    Anyone that can shot a Stag (Deer) with a Bow is a hero in my eye - and in heavy bush like this - well what can I say
    I was within 5m of a Stag this morning and could not get a bullet away - bush hunting is the ultimate hunting thril - but with a Bow is a challenging and I imagine 10x rewarding when succeed

    Oh - and the "Guide" in the above must of done a good job too

    I have shot 99% of the animals I have taken in the rut, well within ethical bow range.

    I think it is another skill for sure but it is not for me.
    Tracking the animals I have, that have been taken with a bow and seeing the blood loss and hearing their last throws, puts me off. That's just me tho.
    I just prefer the rifle.

    It's not the range - I like you 99% are with 10-30m when shot/shot at - but its hard enough getting a clear shot with a streamlined weapon like a rifle - to use a bow and get it home is another story
    I wouldn't have the strength to pull the bloody bow back anyways.

    Is it true the arrow wobbles as it flies - not sure if wobble the right word

    PS
    @madjon_
    Terrain looks like my open areas with the Gorse - the quality of the heads sure is not same
    Lovely looking head - and still looks like a young animal too
