    THe second night I stayed out under the stars.The weather was pretty calm,odd little breeze,black night being near new moon.Temperature down to 10c which is not cold.Only seen 4 sightings of deer out to 2k which included the 2 fallow plus a big stag but he knew I was around.Closest he came to me was about 600yds,but he would stop and look in my direction every few minutes or so,even with the light breeze in my favour.Great to watch tho.

    There was a thread not too long ago asking that very question, hunt in the rain.

    Yes I reckon antlers were hard or near it.Full velvet antlers I can see a k or more thru thermal on a clear night.He was a big body boy on full alert.Could see his head above 5 to 6ft broom now n then.
