Well this weekend we got a little surprise. Beeman checked some of the camera's on his route and came back with a "New kid on the Block". During the velvet we had a stag run past the camera and left a blurred picture of a drop tyne on the top of the right antler, it wasn't a good picture but you could see the big blob of velvet on the tip.
When we viewed the pictures we had some great footage of this same stag ( we think) but the stills did show the head that well. Beeman decided to pause the video at the better positions and take a picture with his phone camera hence the picture quality isn't quite as good as the original. The stag has 15 points that we can count and is the most points we have seen on a stag in this forest. Beeman found a couple of rut pads starting to be used not to far from the wallow and his camera, so let's hope we can get onto him when they start up roaring.Attachment 84836Attachment 84837
How come you are going to try shoot him if he's the most points you've seen? Is it a public forest so no point trying to propagate his genes ha?
