It's pretty cool that there are still animals and experiences that can raise an eyebrow on even the likes of @Tahr, who's probably seen and done more than most.

Im just an ordinary person thats lived with a hunting passion for a few extra years than most. Simply just a function of age.

He s a handsome stag what ever his points,Monic of the Glen.

He is a real beauty, I m sure you will get a crack at him soon, this time tie your rifle to your hands. Sure was lucky you seen the fawn and had the camera, but maybe if the fawn hadn't been there the stag may still have come out and your rifle would have been handy. Good Luck tracking him down and look forward to your next post Big Stag down , maybe?

Wife and I are going up today and staying the night at the hut to have a another crack at him. 5 hour return trip each time.

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).

Good luck for round two Tahr

good luck mate

Wife and I spent last night in Mr Big's territory.
I roared out a nice 10 and we left him. Didn't see the big one but there was a cagey roarer in the same gully so it might have been him. Will give him a rest for a week and have another crack.

Here's the 10 I roared out.


And here's the consolation prize I shot just on dark after I was sure we had done our dash with Mr Big.
144 yards with the 300saum so it wasn't a fair contest really.

Well done Tahr,easy carry n tasty.

Gotta keep your eye in for Mr Big, pretty looking 10 alright, good luck for round 3 on the big one.
