Yep, that’s about the first picture I’ve put up... and probably the last.
I’ve seen this stag the last three years running and believe me he used to be a fair bit healthier.
Well done guys but keep safe.

Here's a mature one from last Friday that's well past its best. It's 72.
The deer is a spiker.
Lol
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
If a remark is made with questionable opinion then that is the place to make a remark. It sounds awfully like the pansy left that people can't deal with any criticism/discussion of things that contradict their opinion. I haven't seen many (2 from memory) degrading anything shot in this thread (in fact its been almost all positive with relation to animals shot) I know apart from rebutting some opinions with my own I've only congratulated people.
Anyway I agree the threads getting cluttered but how about we just leave opinions out as a whole out or not complain when someone rebuts your opinion with there own.
Now lets just get back to stags. Looking forward to seeing some more epic animals coming up some crackers so far!
The fruits of the hunt
I tried to post some photos of 2021 stags as well but couldn't. I then wanted to make the point that some of the stags being shot this year are not too far off the great trophies of Europe ( Due to age and in some cases farm blood). Those European trophies were produced by careful game management, we have an opportunity to influence future trophy potential of our feral herds with careful management an knowing which ones to shoot and which to leave.
Out of 52 stags I have looked over in the Oxford area this year I have only seen one that had perfect tines and tine placement. It was a three year old and I hope everyone leaves it.
As for stags shot 2021 here's a stag my cousins mate shot the day after my cousin broke his ankle and walked out.
