A cheeky Monday mission for a wee marlborough scrubber and a nice 10 for my mate. Both moaning and holding hinds but not going off.

Few from this year, top fella I decided to keep in velvet with summer head skin, the rest I stripped and stained. Still a bit early for Sika, but have heard a couple of hee-haws.

Wow nice head @300_BLK did he give you a good stalk/hunt? How many points is that? I cant get past the tops:thumbsup:
Amazing heads guys. Wicked.

Wow. Thats a fantastic head. You dont see that “rose” or whatever its called on the tops of the antlers very much. A real prize. If Id shot that it would have to go on the wall.
Common trate in farm breed stags only occasionally seen in red stags in the wild
Just to lower the bar a bit.

Well done, looks alright to me - relatively mature animal? More importantly it has proper staining from the old boy doing what stags do when they're getting ready for shagging season! Seen far too many pictures of stags shot in velvet to be stripped and coloured, just doesn't seem like cricket IMHO.Quote:

Just out of interest was it roaring?

Happy Jack will be doing a report sometime soon so there should be a few more photos of our stags and the trip.
Here's the boy again this year, last Saturday night in fact. An improvement on the 5 pointer from last year which is what he wanted to try and do. Bit of a mission to get back to the truck but thats what memories are based on.
Bloody awesome watchin a wee fella grow into a confident and ethical hunter (aka One Proud Grandad)
