    Nar, would have been an easy shot but let him go. Was looking for a big stag.

    The bull on the left in the first photo could possibly be the same one I shot about a month ago in the same area.

    Epic pics!

    For anyone considering taking pics through a scope, remember that the scope is attached to a firearm, and always remember the 7 rules... But especially 1, 2, 4 and 5 in this context.

    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 both alcohol and drugs when handling firearms.

    Don't let the side down and do anything that can be used to portray hunters and shooters in a negative light.

    Good point.

    My pics of the tahr on the skyline are through binoculars so no rifle pointing over into the unknown.

    +1 on the binos... do this quite often when I don't take the real camera with me. Agree with @Micky Duckcan be a right pain to get it all lined up, guess that's why they invented the phone scope...
