Great Start to the year!

Went up to one of our private fallow and sambar blocks with HH2, Hunter his 8 month old GWP and my little girl Ellie.

Was an amazing trip, saw 30 deer over the 3 days, Hunter indicated his first deer, Ellie showed that she loved hunting, doesn't mind a big gun and found out that she loves deer on the ground! and to top it off we managed to take a nice buck.
out of this area they do get a bit bigger but this is pretty close to as good as you find.
No monster maybe around the 205-210 DP region but a great hunt and with a 453m heart shot on film had him on the deck.
caped him out for a wall pedestal and having the velvet injected.
More pics to come when I get them.
Cheers,
BH

Like that last pic :cool:
Well done

What bugs me is soft velvet stags, I can't congratulate someone who shoots a soft velvet stag...sorry, but no way from me.

^^^^^ring any bells?

Are you not supposed to say touché when you thrust a sword and get a strike like that VC? Great cross thread monitoring.

Good photos BH.

Good stag mate....

As vc says, seems a bit hypocritical but who am I to judge

Great to hear hunter and ellie are coming along

Good looking dogs

haha injected as in I want the head to be mounted in velvet and I don't want to strip him, he's hard underneath. Had started peeling on the tip of his right brow and down the seam of the main beam

Great photo of the dogs......didnt know you could 'inject velvet'...will have to look that up on the net, new expression to me!!!!!

Pretty sure it's formalin they inject it with.

Thought they could only inject soft velvet

well then just watch the video I posted a link to he's peeled the whole length of the main beam and is rock hard underneath.

Will win I get home. Will look pretty awesome done mate, will compliment your other bucks nicely

Unique "trophy", I have a friend who has a couple of whitetail bucks and a sika stag mounted in velvet, and they look quite cool. Hard to beat that dark polished up hard antler though :cool:

I sorta killed two birds with one stone so to speak, always wanted a black fallow and a velvet mount on the wall. He's going to be my first wall pedestal too. He may not beat me other two bucks in size but just because of the hunt and the whole weekend I'd definitely say he's my favourite.

Now just need a nice menil and I've got all colour phases. Going to be the hardest to find though I recon.

Where did the whiskers dog come from?
