Ja trad takes a lot of dedication and practise, it’s definatly a skill that if u dont use it, u loose it 😉
That’s a magnificent looking stag in ur profile pic (the deer not you), where did u hunt him?
Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

Long ish story behind that stag.

Was invited to do a fellow doe cull after the first lockdowns on a safari hunting block on the west coast. Saw only bucks during the morning hunt but found this monster dead. Last known sighting was a few days earlier and he was reported to be not looking well. Had COVID not come around and stop everything he would have been shot in his prime.

I got offered to take the antlers and sourced another head skin so I could mount him (I do a bit of taxidermy)

Scored in at 482sci. Here he is below, no room in my house for him and I still have to pinch myself

The fallow does never showed themselves, probably because we were having too many laughs.

Did bag this red spiker on the bush edge with a 7mm remmag gunwerks.com rifle

Wow, what an incredible stag he is!
Even though it’s a pick up, it must surely be some sort of record somewhere???

Yep a massive stag abut still only a medium compared to the monsters being bread today.
