Gav 1,708 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I left the skull and antlers in tact on this big stag, peeled and limed then left out to clean. Always good to keep a trophy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav 1,708 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I have 56000 acres permission galson estate, Isle of lewis, was 2002 cull and the best I ever had, bagged with a .308 around 750 yard Mark, was field dressed and dragged back with a quad, I couldn't have lifted dead weight, so a rough guess at well over 400lbs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav 1,708 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Err 2012 not 2002,wheres me glasses and proof reader ? Should be getting figures end of April for numbers for cull this year, I'd be happy if I ever got close to a beauty like that again.

I got him near grand forks bc on the first morning of my hunt in a area i had never hunted before, within 20 mins of first light. A guy drove up the trail when i was dragging the deer to the truck, He said he had been hunting the area for a few days with no luck. I was in the right place at the right time. If you cant be good be lucky LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen the results and the pictures but never had the opportunity to see one live! That might have to be a future project. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
