    This two / three year old has tremendous potential. Bit of farm blood there, going to be a very attractive well shaped head in 4 -5 years

    Good one from this time last year, haven't seen him in velvet this year but saw him in late hard antler. Haven't heard of anyone nabbing him (local area) hope he has just got smarter and hasn't been poached.

    Great to see some cracking photos of stags with plenty of potential and not the usual back of ute dead big velvet ones you see so many of on facebook sites. Those along with comments from readers along the lines of "F___k the trophy hunters, blow them all over". Restores my faith that there are some hunters on this site with some respect. Nothing wrong with taking crap head, mud fatties though at this time of year. Mmmmmmm
