    The big 17 point through back red we got on camera over the last three years has turned up again on camera, looking at his head this year he has improved well, it seems a lot of the small points have gone and he has 8 on one side and 6 on the other. We think he is around 6 years old but could be older.

    Ok got some pic's from Beeman, first is the stag in November then again on 19th Dec , you can see the growth in the tops. The third is of a nice wide 9 pointer taken at the same camera. For the area the bigger stag is pretty good.Name:  01.JPG

    Yes he should be a good one, especially if he grows a few more points. I think once they are at this age they have developed the shape and number of points and as they age they tend to get heavier timber and a bit more length and spread.
    I may be wrong but time will tell.

    I've located a few nice Sika stags, a promising young 6 pointer and another with very good length but was unable to count points, also a few average ones too.

    Couple more public land big boys I’ve run into in the past couple weeks
    Quality of pictures is a good indicator as to why I haven’t caught up with them
