That is in great condition.
You have been using the butt as a walking stick.That's an animal in good condition for this time of year. Good grass, Any crops in the area???.
Dog looks pleased with itself as mine always do. After the important 'find' they change attitude quite quickly to 'you are damned lucky you came hunting with us tonight'.
95% walking stick, 5% rifle.Quote:

She is usually quite keen, although I have noticed that fitness is important. If she is not so fit she seems to lose her edge a bit. And the heat takes the edge off her too. But she has never refused to look.Quote:

@Tahr, what a great stuff, out there doing t! Congrats man, enjoy the yummy venison, beautiful animal.
Tasty looking spiker;)
Good one! Dog looks happy, you can almost hear the panting for "Gimme some guts!" ;)
Nice one Tahr, your up there with Josh for consistency mate!!!!!
Well done :thumbsup:
Hi Tahr, Just been looking at your spiker again. He looks very mature and has been seriously rutting this autumn going by the pissed stained belly and knackers. Another thing I am pondering is the curved spikes.Quote:

Just curious about him. I would guess him to be around the 70/75 kilo mark though its hard to judge from a photo, our good spikers are around 55/60 kilo at that age.
Did you weigh him
No, didn't weigh him. Boned him out on the spot.Quote:

As soon as I saw him I thought the same as you, so looked in his gob. He had four teeth up. So he would have been coming up 3 years old.
Thanks Tahr...I just couldn't leave it alone. Getting a bit pedantic I suppose, 'damn its going to be a long old age'. Like to know every detail about deer. I have had a lot of looks at your 'spiker'Quote:
