    True Story...

    The stags started to get into it last night and several were really going off.

    I was sitting down giving the odd roar thinking something might appear and happened to glance over to my left and there was a fawn in a close by clearing so I left my pack and rifle and snuck 15 yards to get some picks.

    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).
