    Hard to tell length from the pic but pretty sure it will go bloody close if not over 300.

    It has everything so all points will count.
    Length and spread will likely be the deciding factors.
    Who cares. It is a nice animal. And to be fair I doubt you do care or you would have had a rough idea what you were looking at before you shot it

    Could always do a bit of googling and have a go yourself, guess it depends if you want it 'official' or not

    Trophy is in the eye of the beholder...scores mean nothing mate. Although in saying that, I'd love a 300ds 14 for my wall

    That's a pretty easy head to score as it's very even and lacks any complication reds can throw. Hopefully you can find someone local or if you were ever heading Hamilton way, I could put you in contact with a scorer.

    Starting to feel like autumn down here, cold nights, dewy mornings, warm days ... days are getting shorter.

    Boys are starting to get active. Heaps of wallowing and rubbing and a few stag pads in the few places I have looked at this week.

    Quick walk yesterday, only saw hinds, but place stuck of stag and was amazed not to have one turn up.

    Let out a few roars as twilight set in, right on dark I got three clear replies, and was sure he'd show himself but unfortunately it got too dark so I snuck out. Back tomorrow for another look.

    Stags are definitely on the prowl, starting to sniff out hinds.

    Your right in the regards to going to bed quick. Brno 223 with 55 grain SP. Shot at 20m front on right in the engine room taking out the heart when he came in to see what I was. Dropped on the spot. I love that rifle!

    Josh C good to hear some action already starting, we are getting a few stags wallowing and fighting on the camera, reckon we might find a few pads this weekend and maybe hear an early one. It has got a wee bit cooler up here also.
