HannayThanks for posting - I enjoyed the photos. Though if the photos represent "trophy quality was nothing to write home about", I'd be very interested in seeing what a trophy that is worth "writing home about" is!
Are you hunting in Slovenia?

mouse93Hannay - stags in our are area (yes I hunt in SE Slovenia) are on average as pictured above 160-175 CIC points, we do however, always looking if something "better" in the range of 190 or even more pops up - and on occasions it does - none this year hence my remark
.
Truth be told - none of our clents expect anything more - they are here for a honest hard hunting - if they fancy big trophies they are off to Hungary. Area is "wolf infested" and animals are very jumpy and on constant look out etc...
If I'd pick one it would be this stag with only one antler - old injury, completely missing, should be some story behind it - life time trophy for sure...

To hell with Hungary, damn near pen raised like NZ
" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...

Monastery-ForesterWaidmannsheil, Mousy!
Here in the flat north of Germany we have the last days of red deer rut, now weather changes and rain starts...
But we have had a very good rut and I guided a very good bull (8,45kg) with little over 205 CIC points.

mouse93Weidmannsdank gents! Thanks Ann.
Hi there Frank - nice to see all the old bones still hanging around
- 205 - now that is a serious trophy - Weidmannsheil!
BTW - old girl BGS has gone to the greener pastures this spring and now I have a young (18 months old) apprentice BGS - you can see him in the background - very calm - almost HS character - will be tracking without leash soon.

mouse93Just a follow up. Due to further Covid restrictions all the driven hunts are canceled, meaning no oraganised driven hunts for clients, therefore we are obliged to continue with culling of non-trophy animals - mainly red deer (hinds and calves) and wild boars.
While doing so found this one - died from the wounds he got in rut time by other stag:
On one occasion I saw a strange behaving calf - hind was licking it constantly around its back and when I got a better look I saw that something is amiss on its hind left leg so I shot it. When I came closer there was a rather fresh wound made by wolf - calf managed to somehow escape it.
Close up
Oh, and I got lucky with these 2 - shot the first one from a mixed group of 20. At the bang two others were so surprised that they jumped out into open and when noticing their mistake, began to run toward the wood. Just before entering the bush the front one made a slight turn to the left- showing me some flank...
All in all, a group of 5 got 22 red deer and 2 piglets in 3 days.

mouse93Thank you UEG. Looks like the clients are not going to come this year at all, so we continue to cull deer. With calves numbers almost achieved, it is time to pick out the old hinds...
