Another Nelson Bushstalking stag

The long story is on the dark side but the short story is Pengy and myself after i took a day off today went on another mission in search of a deer.He went one side of the valley, i went another. After a couple of hours what i thought was a good billy eating some broadleaf turned into two 6 pointer stags! Couple of shots or three and one large stag was down, with very strange antlers that i havnt seen much of around here

Cant beat a good day in the bush, cheers!

Funky looking head alright!

At least they are even, if fugly! So how many did the penguin get?

Nice work, interesting head alright... let me guess Pengy still out there...lol

"couple or 3 shots" must mean you were using the 308 rather than the mighty 243??

Well done. A seriously fucked up head much better off out of the gene pool.

Looks in good condition that stag. Would have been a heavy cary out.

Well done.
Looks like a top Nelson trophy to me.

Looks like a bush robin on his right antler in the first photo! Well done on the stag, funky rack.

What a strange antler structure, sure is better out of the gene pool. Meat will be fine though. Excellent day in the bush.

Call me sick or whatever but I would be proud to have that hanging in the shed , knarly as head

Picture doesnt show it but one side was half the length of the other. One was over 30 inch the other half that. Was a big boy

Nice work :cool:

Nice one, you did the gene pool a favour smacking that one over :thumbsup:

How old do you recon he was deer243 ?

Hey Cam, im no expert but he was certainly bigger than the other 6 that was with him and having a good look at him, his antlers and a general impression i recken he wasnt young like the other stag that was with him. i dont think he was a real old one either but i recken he was reasonable mature without being too old he was going backwards.

Well done that man!

Cant beat a good stalk.Good skills:cool:

Should be able to tell by the height of the peticle to coronet, also they loose their eye teeth around 5-6 yrs old, body size has nothing to do with age. First is the mature look on their face, then peticle then teeth for me.

Hamish

Almost looks like a touch of Wapiti blood in him.. Couldn't help but laugh at those antlers though.

Good effort :cool:

Hide the head and eat the rest. Looks like a big bugger, lots of burgers and snarlers there.

I reckon that heads not too bad. Be worth carrying out.
