    What an absolutely magnificent animal. Good shit Shootm.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hell that's a real beauty, great photo so if you don't bump into him you have a picture of what could have been. Best luck next weekend.

    Great photo mate. Thanks for sharing. So good seeing big stags like that. A dream for most.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Saw this one on one trip and not a fence between us....Unfortunately we were in the paddock with him but while it is a farm stag for breeding Hinds / cervena it was very interesting with him only a few metres away. While I know I will never see a wild one like this, they are still an amazing sight to get close to...I could never shoot him as it would be like shooting a pet, but that look of indignation as he stares back at you is quite something. the only regret I have is I did not get lower to get the antlers with the grass behind as the bushes obscure them.

    Good luck for next weekend mate. Having a photo of him is bloody good though.
    We saw a nice stag on the weekend briefly that was definately a shooter. My biggest regret apart from not having him on the desk was not getting footage of him at least. Hopefully catch the bugger out in May/June when he's got food on the mind instead. Still have the image of his tops etched in my memory.
