dicehorn 38 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Dont know whether any of you had read the recent press coverage of this red deer stag that is reckoned to be the biggest in the UK. Took this picture of him last year - thought that he would be going back this year - not so Called him from two fields away and took this at about 40 yards - had to shout at him to stop. He stood watching me for a looooong 20 seconds before turning back to join his hinds. Edited October 11, 2009 by dicehorn Quote Link to post

dicehorn 38 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) so where is he exactly?? Do me a favour !! Do you want the post code? Is not Exmoor good enough? Seen bigger in the wild? This ain't no park deer. Currently, stood up the tip of his antlers are 9 feet from the ground. If an average height guy (5' 10") stood next to him his shoulders would be level with the top of his rump. When he stands next to a mature hind they compare to a great dane and a cocker spaniel. A guy I know who has been involved with red deer over 40 years in this area has never seen a bigger one See http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/envi...icle6865411.ece Edited October 12, 2009 by dicehorn Quote Link to post

FJager 0 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Is he a wild free range stag? Not being clever, but in all honesty the 5 10" bloke only coming up to his rump, would like to see that, we breed bos indicus cattle and at 1200 kg, they are lucky to be that tall. Quote Link to post
