shooter79 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 First Red Stag of the season. Initially i was stalking a Roe Buck when all of a sudden i stumbled on these 3 stags. As i had no muzzle clearance i was forced to shoot the AI from a fence post. Shot was executed perfectly in the neck and on closer inspection the - was shattered, couldn't of been any cleaner. After the shot it was great to see how a moderator does its job as the other 2 stags just trotted around a bit within 50 yards from me. As i was alone this time i choose to leave the other 2 for for the rut in September. The drag to the truck was emotional but that is another story! Last picture shows just how much meat is in the saddle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter79 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Certainly finding my management maturity kicking in these days, its never been about the money for me! The real work starts when you knock just one of these beasts over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to see when greed kicks in any form of shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
