    Got myself a fallow buck in the weekend out in King country (private land). I don't have much experience with these animals so not sure how old it is... anyone care to comment?

    He definitely felt like big boy while dragging him down the hill. Thankfully we could use the winch through a tree to hang him. My back will thank me for that.

Had seen him regularly from 1.5 km away but after spooking him once, running out of daylight and hesitating over the amount of distance to cover let alone the sheer steepness and c@&$ty type of ground it is, finally got him. I though africa was the arsehole of the world, turns out this stag was happily living in it 😂
    Shot it in Gore not Africa then did u

    Fallow buck I got back in July on a hunt with one of my boys. Spotted from boat with binos about 1km away, climbed a tree to get up a drop off and into bush, sneaked in to 150m, taken with 223 55 grain. Public land, best I've seen not on private block and currently with taxidermist. The boy was stoked to be part of the hunt

    While you guys went to the polls I went for a morning stalk. Ohoo don’t worry I threw in my overseas vote yesterday
    Anyway manges to get this one. Went 28kgs. Good stalk thought he had me busted but gave him a little croak and he came back tiptoeing through the trees. It’s right on the start of their rut here. First cool night last night. Been very warm. But the temperatures are dropping way down from 13 at night to first frost tonight.
    Good one to take out with the split palms.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    I had the feeling your UK hunting season opened about now. Would it be possible to post a couple of photos of your tow bar deer carrier please ?
