    Good call that Stag is still maturing - he will be awesome in a couple of years. It’s great to see an ethical hunter make a sustainable decision. Too often some blokes just can’t help but pull the trigger on a good breeding animal. QDM and we all benefit. Love ya work

    Nice work, good to see a few around, pressure would have dropped off since last year over summer. We only saw a hind and small stag last time we were there. Then nothing but rubbish left by others on the other side of the river. So we carried more out just not what we hoped to carry out.

    ⁠​⁠@@CarrMichaelQuitay honestly I haven’t hunted that way really at all, but I know there’s deer around that area. I guess my advice to guys starting out is, pick an area walk a lot to begin with, walk a big river flat or ridgeline and just try and take in as much sign as possible- rubs, droppings, foot prints, wallows, game trails food sources ect, take notes of when you are seeing sign or even deer and go from there. Be sure to keep thermals and wind in your face the best you can. Hope that helps a little.

    I was a fair way from the car. With a buck in this condition I can’t imagine the meat was going to be much better than for dog meat. Maybe it is a waste but the farmer up there just shoots them and leaves them so guess taking some is better then none. Cheers for the comment👍👍
