    Damn girl! What's the Douglas score? Be worth the money to get it done by a taxidermist.

    Cheers guys. she did really well and held her nerve a lot better than me actually. Was a tense stalk in from 880 yards first spotted down to a short sharp shot at 80 yards in the neck with him watching us.
    Measured 43 inches and scored 328.5DS as a twelve.
    At 25 weeks pregnant i didn't let her carry much so it was 2 heavy trips out with the meat for me.
    Cheers

    What an amazing animal mate. Congrats to the missus


    Yesterday avo I poked into a valley I haven't looked into before. Public land a couple hours from home. I had noticed the sun had melted most of the snow off this hill already so thought it'd be worth a look. Pretty happy to bump into these fellas. Couple of really nice young stags, heaps of potential. Providing no one shoots them, or a chopper doesn't get them.

    Shot this one for the freezer, he was the ugliest (apart from the one antlered one which I saw after I'd shot this one. He was also the smallest but fattest...

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
