Hi guys Based on the great pics being posted on JJHACK's wild boar thread I thought I would throw up something similar for red stags - I know there have been some good ones taken by members! | ||

Some souvenirs from Scotland  Highland Poneys  Stalking in snow   Stags shot with my former Wby .300  Part of a herd we were stalking. Due to the absence of cover, the difficulty was to approach the stag standing outermost right.

Don't get me wrong I am no sentimentalist or some sad deluded PETA campaigner. But its so sad to see such once magnificent beasts slumped on the floor, covered in blood and with the light permanently gone from their eye. Boggy I hope you have that stag properly displays on your wall at home some where. He's a cracker! | |||

just for you Tophand  but it was a struggle getting in there, hope you appreciate that  | |||

You really shouldn't have bothered.
Time spent planning is never wasted and is always the key to making life easier. I hope you appreciate that now What worth can you place on life's riches if they weren't gained thru your own effort? Now that is a real philosophical question. | |||

Someone has to be. Its a cross I have learnt to bear.  I can never figure out why people feel the need to pose with a dead deer and a rifle. Its not as if someone is going to think yuo've clubs the damn things to death with a fence post.  Had the stag with all the fencing wire managed to get himself free or did you have to slot him entangled? | |||

Is there an 'after' shot? | |||
|
| one of us |
 no not this time - it was out of season (we stop hunting January 1st) - was just playing with camera and scope.Monastery-Forester it is improved No.1 - Zeiss No.11 at 12x mag - BTW shows quite nice how one can use a reticle when judging distance - if stag's torso would fit between the point of the vertical post and end of the side bar it would be 200m away - roughly I'd say it was app. 350m (way too far for me). | |||

Mouse: if I see your hunting clothes, your guns and scopes, your dogs - than I think, that you have in Slovenia the same hunting traditions like in Germany/Austria. Is that because you have a long K u K - tradition? | |||
|
| one of us |
Exactly. | |||

One of Us |
May I ask what "k u k" tradition is?Thank you. Best- Locksley,R "Early in the morning, at break of day, in all the freshness and dawn of one's strength, to read a book - I call that vicious!"- Friedrich Nietzsche | |||

Refers to the Austrian/Hungarian double monarchie. Slovenia was a part of the Austrian Hungarian empire. I believe the "K u K" refers to the titles the Austrian Emperor held in Austria (Emperor - "Kaiser" in German) and in Hungary (King - "Koenig" in German). Thus "K u K". - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | |||

Thank you, gentlemen, for the historical tidbit. Refreshed my history. Is there a link/source that explains the hunting&clothing traditions of these regions anywhere on the net?Thanks again.

Gab I think you'll find it came off Cannock Chase. or to be more precise just off Cannock Chase. The Norfolk stuff is of lesser quality. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Tophand, you're talking nonsense. While some of the Cannock chase animals are undoubtedly good the Norfolk Reds are in a different class altogether. I've worked in both places and studied both populations closely. BTW did anyone see a recent posting on this forum entitled 'Operators Fist'. It's contents may bear close scrutiny given the current incursion... Did I just hear 'My Way'?? | |||
|
| one of us |
zaitsev - that's very interesting. Would love to see any pics etc you have on the populations. Are there any defining local features for the two populations? G | |||
|
| One of Us |
Hi Gab, I've no pics of the Norfolk chaps but have a pic of one of our local (Cannock) stags. Give me a few mins and I'll try and post it. The Cannock animals arose from a couple of introductions in the 60s (accidental) when hounds panicked a number of captive animals out of a fenced enclosure on the Chase near Rugeley. I was told by the then owner of the animals (now sadly deceased) that they were of park origin but I cannot remember which one. Both populations exhibit the 'rear tine' from below the tops (hopefully the photo will show it) from time to time. Back in a mo. | |||

Typically the one I want is on my work PC. This one is of a group of young stags and hinds near Cannock Chase. The poor quality (body wise) was a result of overpopulation at the time. Will try and find the rest tommorow.  | |||
|
| One of Us |
nope got the stalker in question to jump on it's back and sort of hog tie it first of all  but now i am confused at your remarks about Cannock Chase are you acusing SLDG of poaching on or around the chase slander is quite a serious matter | |||
|
| One of Us |
So not your stag at all. Makes one wonder why you bothered posing with it in the first place.
Dickie Dickie! Please! I'm laughing so hard I've got a stitch in my side. Confused or desperate.  Read what was posted boyo. Take your time and all will become clearer.  | |||

I am sure that Top hand is not accusing me of poaching as that is a criminal offence and my self a respected member of the Deer Sector. This stag from wiltshire was the biggest wild stag shot there according to Ritchard Prior he was only one point off a gold.  | |||
|
| one of us |
He can accuse me of poaching if he likes! That stag is a thumper? Carcass weight? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Boggy Unlike so many I always make a point of knowing my facts. So accusations are not my style. I leave that to the tw&ts and the sh*t stirrers. | |||

| One of Us |
Quite right David, you and I both know that those who said I was accusing you, were only trying to stir the crap. I know precisely where and how you came by that stag.

maybe like yourself a bit of clarity is needed Said Stag was not seen first then stalked and shot this stag was heard roaring at first in the early morning dawn chorus then i stalked into it by using the roars and odd coughing sounds it made this was the way i knew it was an old beast from there i followed slots & noise of it moving in the undergrowth, to actually pin point it in the undergrowth was the easy bit, as saplings just 30 yards in front of me were moving in the sky line the stalker and good friend in question was with me, as it was his ground, he stalked along with me as he knew i was onto a good beast and wanted to be part of it just neither of us knew how good a beast , as we had not seen it, just from the signs knew it was a good heavy bodied and possibly old beast this was goods enough determine to stalk for shot decision would be made on sight as to wether trigger was pulled I heard it,I located it, I stalked it , I identified it , I pulled the trigger i earn't it but you are right his beast he can drag it......it was 425lbs  | |||

Quite right David, you and I both know that those who said I was accusing you, were only trying to stir the crap. I know precisely where and how you came by that stag. [QUOTE] i never acused you, just asked if you were acussing 2 different things read what was posted Boyo who's trying to sh*t stir now Dave i hear you are working quite hard and putting in some effort up north of the border keep up the good work it may pay off | |||

Dickie Boy Perhaps you would care to resubmit your post in an more appropriate manner? The infant school use of grammar and syntax makes for unintelligible reading. I suppose it all boiled down to if you can't make the effort to post in a readable manner, I see little reason to make the effort to try and read it. If what you have to say is worth the effort of reading. It must surly be worth the effort on your part to make it intelligible in the first place. | |||
