    if he's got his girls around he wont go far. The pictures themselves are a trophy and I find I get as much of a buzz in getting close and taking pics as pulling the trigger. A few more days serving his lady friends aint a bad outcome.

    Good luck.
    I wouldn't be surprised if you nail him. It will be that much sweeter when you do.

    @nathan That's what went through my mind when his head appeared over the brow. I said to myself "just enjoy the moment and get a pic". Glad I did.

    Can't believe the length of those Trez tines, any relation to the 'tangled wire stag' do you think?

    Maybe. About 2 km away. There is game park blood in the area and the general area has always had a good reputation for heads even before the escapees.

    Yes, the trez are unbelievable.
