    Picked up reloads yesterday.
    Poke some holes in paper on Saturday then into it the following weekend.
    No chance of a recon so hope we get it right

    That's what you want @Strummer. What a cracking head that will be Edunn. I agree he needs another two or better three years. Comparing to farm deer I would put him at four years old. What were his lower tynes like for length and placement ? Interested to have @R93 's thoughts

    Brows were good, bez tines were little, trez tines were delightful.

    My guesstimate from a cool 600m with a telephoto lens but no spotting scope was 5y/o. I'll be trying my best to watch him closely over the next couple of years in the hope that no one else shoots him before he's ready.

    Hard to make an accurate assesment from that pic for me but he appears to have everything going on, nice looking animal. Good work Edunn
    Its bloody good to see pics of promising animals being left to mature by hunters on this forum.
    Hope you catch up to him again when he is at his full potential mate.

    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.
