. No real story to tell here other than share a couple of pictures of a mature buck that I was lucky to get at the weekend on our concession here in Germany near the Dutch border. Shot him with a Sauer 101 in 6,5x55 Swede. He did not go more than 10 meters before he folded up. Shoulder, heart, shoulder. A good old buck to take with a good head. I'll put him at 4 maybe 5 years old at a push. Interestingly after a day hanging in the cooler two botfly larva (Cephenemyia trompe)(reindeer nose botfly) were in the blood bucket under the buck's head. Have not had that before!

Weidmannsheil Charlie! Larva is by all means Cepahanomia - however I believe it is a "Cepahanomia stimulator" - rather common around here. Many times you can hear infected animal snorting loudly - nasty bugger that I would hate to have... I bet there are more in the nasal cavity - ask guy who will do the cleaning of the trophy to tell you how muchg did he found... | |||

. I believe you may be right on the fly species! There were only the two. I rinsed out the nasal passage to see of there were more but only the two. Hope your season going well. Look forward to pictures later. Cheers . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

Fine looking buck Charlie. Our whitetail deer have similar nose bots here in south Texas... 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...
