Cheers Bryan. We watched him for a few days servicing his hinds/cows, and came to the conclusion he was only around 4 years old so left him for another hunter (HOPEFULLY) in two more years at least. Sad to say that if the next lot hunt that valley properly they will see him and might not think like us. So many good stags get shot way before their prime, this guy is a classic example of a potential trophy needing one or two more years.
Funny about the whoop ass thing too, the ten on the skyline actually came over from the next watershed a few days into our trip and eventually gave this good stag a tong up and stole his hinds/cows! He was by far the dominant/most mature bull we saw in the valley, although wasn't sporting the most impressive rack. He snuck around in the shadows waiting to pounce. Was classic viewing.
