My old man enjoys telling me of a hunt he went on years ago. A group of about 5 or more of them in the 60s were out for a hunt- On the way to a hut at the time. They came across a wee mob of deer. about half a dozen hinds and one solitary stag. There was a hind each at least so they all agreed which Hind they would shoot and one fellow was to shoot the stag. They all fired at about the same time. All but one of the Hinds ran off and the stag hit the deck. My dad shot his hind, and every other person shot the stag. 6x 303 in one stag and no meat left undamaged, one hind shot once and 5 running hard. 50 years on he still laughs about it.
