Thread: Dumped 17 pointer

Nice head, I was surprised the stag I shot on the 8th Dec when we took Josan for a hunt was able to be stripped and stained and the points were all hard to the tips. That was real early I thought. Shame you didn't get it but it may not have been quite long enough for you to shoot, definitely plenty of points. Hopefully the fella that shot it comes back for it as it seems such a waste. Some good venison was wasted also as he would have been in good condition at the time.

@Mooseman Get this. It was the underside legs left - he told the cocky it was too heavy to roll over??

Sounds like an excuse to leave most the meat, I am sure he could have gutted the animal and maybe got help to move it. The stag I shot weighted in at 125 kg gutted and it took Beeman and I about 2hours to drag it 600-700 meters to the road. We are starting to feel our age to but there was no way we would leave it behind, we could have cut it up at a pinch to get it out if need be.
