I was given the VERY important job of bringing the velvet down the hill without marking it . I hadn't come prepared for walking with just gumboots on so had to be very careful with my footing. As you can see in the photo it was rather large and I'm not the biggest person around. It would have made a good video watching me tip toeing through the slash with both hands on the head at all times, trying not to touch any bits of wood for fear of letting the side down while the guys were busting their guts trying to haul the stag out. Once back at the truck I wasn't sure how I was going to fit it in the seat so I wrapped the bloody head in a raincoat and sat it safely on the passenger seat where I could hold it with one hand while driving slowly with the other. One thing I witnessed today was the perseverance and determination shown by 2 amazing men - I'm so proud to have @BeeMan and his son as my hunting teachers. Oh, and @Mooseman too.
