yep I took my dad hunting in Texas back in 98 first time to hunt a fenced area he took a nice Merino and I mounted it for him the only thing in 78 year that he's shot with horns its still hanging on his wall.

I looked at your trophy pics...very impressive. You've done a lot of hunting in a lot of places.

But there's a big gap in your pics.... although I suppose that's only my personal opinion.

Both pictures below were taken in the same place in that country.

Oh I am so jealous Love those horns in velvet.

nice head

Nice rack!

The roar started early for me this year...I was lucky to get onto some good active stags in Mid March.
In new Zealand we have wild deer herds that originate from liberations made 100 years ago using founder stock from various parts of the UK and Scotland.


This photo was taken at 109m with 12 optical zoom.
When I put up the next photo of this stag maybe an enthusiast might recognise which part of the UK the Stag originates from.
