I had mucked around for a few minutes taking pics and a roar emitted quite close, so without going back to my rifle I gave a roar. And almost immediately a stag appeared at about 20 yards - I could just see his head and neck. And there I was stranded.

He stood there long enough for me to get my camera onto him before he disappeared. The best stag I have seen in 55 years of trying to get a truly decent one.

Gutted.

(The fawn I was photographing was just in the neighbours property and that's why I left my rifle).
