    It was half broken and the tumble down the hill snapped it off, there was wire/string rapped around its neck too. It wouldn’t take much to get tangled up in trees.

    Haven’t posted in a while. Typical steep Marlborough bluffs with a dead stag half way up, if I got closer the deer would be covered by tree’s because of the steepness.

    Spent 6 days on a recon mission heard a few moans and the odd roar in the evenings and at night. Early days still the younger stags are mobbed up together, bigger stags doing their own thing.

    Congratulations on the new rifle, 223 rem is a pretty easy caliber to get shooting accurate.
    Have you thought about shooting off a tripod, it could be easier on the body sitting and standing.

    If you can get ammo with the 285gr ELD-M they work well out to 1100m on deer from my experience. Not tried the 270gr ELD-X ammo. $15 is still cheap meat even if only saving back steaks and back legs.
