    Another Nelson Bushstalking stag

    The long story is on the dark side but the short story is Pengy and myself after i took a day off today went on another mission in search of a deer.He went one side of the valley, i went another. After a couple of hours what i thought was a good billy eating some broadleaf turned into two 6 pointer stags! Couple of shots or three and one large stag was down, with very strange antlers that i havnt seen much of around here






















    Cant beat a good day in the bush, cheers!

    "couple or 3 shots" must mean you were using the 308 rather than the mighty 243??

    Well done. A seriously fucked up head much better off out of the gene pool.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Looks in good condition that stag. Would have been a heavy cary out.

    Well done.
    Looks like a top Nelson trophy to me.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Looks like a bush robin on his right antler in the first photo! Well done on the stag, funky rack.

    What a strange antler structure, sure is better out of the gene pool. Meat will be fine though. Excellent day in the bush.
