    No Stags

    Went for a walk over the weekend, saw a lot of fog and no stags.

    We went for a big walk last week, first night spotted a lone stag that started to feed early but refused to leave the cover of the scrubby gutter he was feeding in and a chamois. Woke in the morning to fog/cloud minimal vis and stayed like that. Was a pretty remote spot so was surprised watching the nervous behaviours of the stag. Wind was wrong to close the gap on him so had planned on a morning stalk.
    Nice vid Gimp. I somehow went on a tangent to make the post all about me...

    I am not sure what is happening but that was the second video I have tried to watch I this forum in the last 24 hours that has come up with an error and which tells me to try again Later.
    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

    Nice clip, love the classic "west coast one horned chamois" sometimes I wonder if they are onto us and they smash them off themselves once they realise their one-horned mates never get shot haha

    I tend to cull one-horned chamois normally, so that wouldn't work very well for them as an evolutionary strategy
