    I finally cracked it :) Thumper Stag

    Had an amazing weekend up in the hills.
    Found this guy way way up the back an hour before dark, managed to stalk in from 700m to get within 320m. Put one in his shoulder and the rest is history!!
    So so stoked as it’s been a long time coming for a stag like this!! A lot of animals looked over to find him!! What a place we live in!!
    Perfect old as 12 pointer!!
    Thanks to everyone who made it happen!!
    I’ll be remembering this one for a long time!!
    Cheers

    Looks like a one out of the box day to be on the hill. And the cracker stag is the icing on the cake
    Gotta be happy with life after that
