We could have made absolute pigs of ourselves, as there were stags everywhere!!!! but we only took one or two deer each. For the trip I spent 4 days going hard core, hunting hard out early morning to night and I saw a total of 19 deer in those 4 days. I shot the big 11 pointer at 436 yards late on day 3 which was awesome! I've put a lot of work into improving my longrange shooting skills and I really wanted to shoot one from a good distance this year as every other stag I've shot during a roar has been within 5m to 20m, so getting one at 436 yards added a new dimension to my hunt.

I then went into cruise mode and only went for the odd short walk for the other 6 days, where I saw another 3 stags, but choose not to shoot anymore as we had done okay for ourselves. We got heaps of cool video footage of the trip which will eventually be made into a DVD.
