    Big bodied 13 from yesterday, snapped Bez. Was another even better stag nearby that had one whole beam snapped off from above the trez so I guess they'd been going at it

    Got a young baby at home this year so things were restricted to one morning hunt for myself and one evening hunt with the old man. Stags were roaring hard and I mucked up 2 other opportunities before catching up with this young 11 and one of his girlfriends, made for a heavy pack and a long "morning" (started at 4am, got to the ute at 3pm)

    Then almost finished it off perfectly that evening with the old man on his biggest fallow buck but we never could find it in the bush after his shot, no blood though so appears to have been a clean miss.

    She's had a busy week Micky chasing Stags, pretty tired now as you can see.

    Well done!

    @Sideshow - Yup, currently in Northumberland for another week before flying home. Just over here visiting family, but managed to organise a few evenings out chasing the critters.

    Got away for another 3 nights, shot this guy in the pouring rain, had 3 hinds, a few battle wounds and had lost a lot of condition as they do.
