Perhaps not, but these ladies baked the same scones during the second world war :sarge: How's that for adversity?

Attachment 7997I kept the antlers on this one but he's not flash at 4 yrs so it's his last roar.
remember doing it once years ago,at home on the coast.we'd had a wee sesh at a certain country pub out of hoki ,and being lads decided to check out a well known cockies stag.
yup there he was in all his glory givng us the evils etcetc when my mate gave a horny grunt.he came at us like Usain Bolt holding a bloody great pitchfork.
I leapt clean over boot of mates wagon to take cover as this mad creature thudded into the netting.jesus what a sight ,grunting ,thrashing ,foaming at the jaw and obviously wanting us come hell or high water.
it was with a sense of relief i heard a while later that this bugger was put down as he was simply too dangerous to handle when he had his dander up.
ive seen a few in the course of my duckshooting travells but alway give em a wide berth.
Yep they can be dangerous. A neighbour got gored in the arse about 12 years back and that was without provoking the animal by roaring.
At the roger white fundraising adventure ride at atiamuri (1987?) there was a brand new Red XD falcon ute in the carpark, its deer-farming owner showed us the two holes in his stoved in drivers door from one of his farm stags.
Ha Ha my Parents Emu's do that too If you let them hatch thier own chicks....thing with those bloody weirdo's is they come past the deer fence by at least a metre if their bird brain head gets through one of the squares so a safe distance must be kept.
Best to take the eggs off them and have a Flintstone size omlette...tastes bloody good to just like a big chocken egg.
Heard my first stag for the 2013 roar last night, wild stag. Not to aggresive more just throaty moans. Still exciting :)
