Yes, I shoot my share of velvet stags for meat. But I do know a good one when I see it, and know what not shoot.
Snee Rd last night (late, as you can tell by the quality of the pic).

See now that's not your average representative six
Exactly. I cop a bit of shit for shooting velvets, but they are all pretty average.Quote:

Shit that is a beauty Tahr well done on not taking the shot.
On the Reserve boundary, but in the private access I use. He might go up into the reserve for the roar.Quote:

When I texted home and said "saw 6, shot nothing", a reply came back saying "thank goodness". I think that the thought of another deer in the fridge so close to Christmas was one bridge too far for her. :)Quote:

either way that is a cracker

Hamish, there is a particular area that the stags seem to congregate in to grow their velvet. Open scrub that lets the sun in and plenty of feed (on private land). Then, without warning they disappear from their velvet area and I next see them in the public land native during the roar. Then they disperse and I see them all over the shop, but always where the best feed is.
And so the cycle continues.
What cracker he is !!

Nothing to be SNEEzed at
He looks similar to the tangled wire Stag, same area?
I too wouldn't shoot such a fine specimen in velvet. I hope you catch up with him in a few months time.
Same area, about 1km away.Quote:
