I thought you were having a go about shooting a velvet stag…

Anyway, Free hand Head shooting is a last resort for me (missed more than I’ve made) Neck shooting in the bush is a favourite shot of mine when it presents itself, otherwise it’s the shoulder. The second one was in fading light and yes I could probably have drilled it in the neck as I had a good rest over my day bag but as I was a over an hour from the tent and a few hours up a valley from the truck, the money shot will do, there’s only so much my knees can take these days. There’s no shortage of deer around so I don’t need every scrap off them like 30yrs ago
you’ll be pleased to know I shot 2 a couple of weeks ago that were able to be recovered whole, I may need to ask Santa for another freezer
