Not really @Rees went though an inch breech branch in through the right hand side low quartering clipped both lungs and settled up under the skin
on the left side just forward of the front leg. (My left and right is me standing at the animal’s nose) branch was dead due to lose of bark
The round did not looked to have tumbled as most of the lead was also in and around the copper. So still happy with the how it expanded. Just need to not hit branches. Can’t be helped when in the thick stuff.

Doing a euro mount today.
Old bugger had no back teeth. Well the back two molars where all but gone.
Still in good nick though. I thought he was around five but I now put him at about eight.

brothers 8 point jap from kaimanawas 2022 roar around 175ds(left), other 8pt jap he shot when he was 8 years old hunting with his old man. and the Redskin from southland big brute of a stag.

Where's the buck now? Photos, need photos

I got one off the roof last year, Dec 24th got impaled on the weather vane. Blood and venison all over the roof. Head wasn't as good as yours though, but I had a shorter carry

Very pretty country in all your photos with those deciduous tree lines / woods. Do Fallow eat the acorns and Beech nuts ? The ones you shoot always look fat

PS that scungy sling detracts from your beautiful rifle stock - Nigelloh

Yeah they eat a few. But to many acorns can poison them.
Numbers are high. Still need to knock quite a few over. Just starting to see regrowth in the understory.
But fat they are here’s a pricket.
Note how all the growth goes into there body and not antlers here.

Fairly common for this area.
As for the sling. It’s the only one that doesn’t slip of my shoulder. Which was a right pain.

C over these ways a spiker with that sort of length would have the potential to grow into something big

Shit he is a fat bastard, fat as a seal. Here is a link to the slings: https://www.niggeloh.de/en/rifle-slings.html
I have four of the standard type slings. The 'Loden' would look good on your CF2, but never having had one I cant say if it has the same stretch and anti bounce shock absorbing that makes the standard one so good. I put the forward end of the sling on the barrel 'Safari Style' which lowers the centre of gravity, brings the gun closer and makes a heavy rifle like a CF2 light

My Fallow head from last year drying at the Taxidermist. Will get it in a couple of weeks. DS242
