Here's the pic of that tall five pointer from the other day - one side is the best part of 30cm :icon_eek: with the other just shy of 29 and he weighs in at 549 grams :thumbs:... not that I'm counting or anything.

Looks like youve turned into a trophy hunter :whistling:

 

:laugh: Far from it mate... I haven't shot many bucks but have been very lucky this season :yes: Just want to make the most of them encase my luck runs out. Not too bothered about the stats side but they help give perspective which sometimes difficult to get from a picture. As to whether they make a medal or not – that’s not what stalking’s about IMHO but must admit that that having a head make an international standard does make it that little bit extra special ;)

 

Now that is just out and out showing off that is.....

 

Moi :o:angel:

Not trying to rob the thread local, cracking heads there, that's a really good malform - here's another tall one from somerset, 30 and 29cm shot this year, he's stable at 558g and was called in during the rut in early August.

He's a cracker Murph - fair play to you... Funnily enough both these beasts were taken in Wiltshire and are, by all accounts, most unusual for the area. All the bucks I have taken this year in Somerset have had very wide spans save for one (the one on the left of this pic being the narrowest)

This pic has been up beofre so apologies for recycling it. Not sure whether its the same on your ground but most heads seem to have the right sided antler kinked and turning in slightly???

Yes it is much the same with the right turning in ever so slightly although they are very even really. Funny that I'm pretty near wilts, we seem to have a split between tall and thin and a fair span. Generally the malforms around here have a trend for an extra point over the right eye, seen 3 this year, one came in just shy of bronze, one was nowhere near a medal although a nice 6 points and the other will make a medal but is still at large and will probably be left for this year.

An extra point over the right eye...
