    Was it hard on the tips, and would it strip?

    Cheers

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Good going Loose unit. They're nice and fat this time of year. And I agree, they look majestic in velvet, too.

It was a way to be intimate with nature, that intimacy providing us with wild unprocessed food free from pesticides and hormones and with the bonus of having been produced without the addition of great quantities of fossil fuel. . . . . . . . We lived close to the animals we ate. We knew their habits and that knowledge deepened our thanks to them and the land that made them.”

    Wow - fantastic to share that experience with you through your video... you are a lot calmer than I would've been after making such a great shot. My first stag was a 40x40 red on the Crow River around this time of year and I got it mounted, the Taxidermist (Terry Jacob & Son IIRC) put the antlers in formaldehyde for 6 weeks, looks as good today as it did 20 years ago.

    Awesome; maybe I should have shot on of the stags I saw last night...

    What calibre? Hit in the neck?
