Ha ha Brian, what was it we were talking about the other day, big carries??! That's put a smile on my face on a Monday morning your story, well done, really really great photo with a look of deep satisfaction on your face.

Reckon you could weigh that 143 now for us Brian. Be interesting to see what is left. Looks good

Just weighted recovered projectile and it is 89.4 grs

That projectile traveled about 18-20 inches through hide, meat and bone . It went in a fraction low on the shoulder and angled out through the chest cavity to come to rest on the off side in front of the gut. It didn't puncture the gut bag. It started out at 2750 fps and at 40 meters was hitting at about 2680 fps. Like I have said before these ELD X bullets seem to work.

Thanks mate, good info there. Definitely a heavy bodied beast that one so that has held up well in my view.

Yep I have to agree on that one.

News flash.........

“Deer shits man”!


Top story @Mooseman
They look like a good thick set of antlers

Well done @Mooseman that's a cracker. Reckon it will take awhile to beat that one.

It sure will be, they don't come easy as a rule, this one was in the right place at the right time, bit like most as 5 minutes either side of when I got him he wouldn't have been there. We do have a better stag in this area we have been following for about 3 years on the trail cameras , we think he could be around the 240 DS, hard to tell until the tape is on them,but he is big.

That's a wonderful head. And what a Beast of an animal!
@Mooseman what do you do with the meat? Just sausages and small goods?

Awesome. How long was the longest antler?
