    Still a bit early for the Sika, a few hee-haws but that's it. The handlebar 6pt did however come charging in to a single call from 700m away. All cull stags, I suspect the 8 is going backwards as he's got a bit of age. Left a promising 8ptr probably 4yo and 160ish DS.

    Thats cool. What length was the 8?
