bwanamrmA fine stag to be sure!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

DomWell done and a Waidmannsheil to the hunters.

BoghossianThat is a very nice stag indeed - what did he weigh clean?
15 October 2013, 21:24
Adam.270That one weighed 22 stone (308lbs /140kg) exactly, dressed out on the hook. We've had them 20% heavier - they're big boys these Galloway forest stags.
Hopefully we can get another 10-12 stags like this onto the floor by the end of next Sunday.
Adam.

Fallow BuckBoggy,
I got off thehill on Sunday last week and I'm still aching!!
Bursting to go back though. Instead I have to sit at Ampton this weekend with Mr Claret Dabler and friends and drink falling over water...
It's tough out there

Claret_DabblerExtraction is much easier at Ampton, carry a 25 pound deer 7 yards to the back of the pickup. 100kg deer are a fucking nightmare, we have one hanging here just now....
Drinking and shooting the breeze at Ampton is a much better option.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....

Brad HinnNice Stag congrats Kiri!

Fallow BuckThanks Brad but it wasn't my stag. It is the first trophy stag we have taken on the new estate we are managing in Dumfries.
I was up there last week and had 7-8 big stags roaring around me. It is quite a thing for someone like me who has had relatively little exposure to hill reds.

Brad HinnYea I know the feeling, here in the western US deer are usually in small groups of 2 or 3. So for me seeing and hearing a big heard of Red Stags was really impressive.
Looks like that new ground will work out or you!
Cheers

Trapper DaveThat's a nice animal, congrats to the hunter.
Sadly, I shan't be at Ampton and will miss the craic although I shall be out shooting Roe and Munties in Surrey.
Regards to all the regulars!
