[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 159617, member: 8486"] [img]http://au.msnusers.com/LONGRANGEHUNTINGPICS/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2[/img] After all the talk about no hunting pics, I thought I'd give you guys something to look at. This stag was hunted for several weeks before feeding out at dark on evening recently. After ranging him at 411 M with the Geovid binos, I scrabled to a point to fire from. Holding for a high shoulder shot, I let the 300 weatherby bark andheard that pleasent "WHACK " !! After running approx fifty meters closer, I scrambled another round in the chamber before watching him fall over. One very happy hunter !! Several weeks later I found another candidate see below [image]javascript:tn_click_pic(3, 800, 599)[/image] Same knd of deal as above , but at 448 M. At the shot the stag went up on his back legs before running into the dogwood and out of site. With no light left I elected to wait until morning to look. Just after daybreak I snuck in and found him laying in the river. Backtracking him there was a huge amount of blood and carnage where he was standing and it appeared that it had be a quick end for him. A number of weeks later I was watching some farm fringe country and glassed a group of deer containing a good stag. I snuck in around 100 m closer and set up at 378 M. At sthe shot he fell down but immediately got up and was gone. To cut a long story short I ended up recovering him 2 days later. The shot was back, but he had concealed himself well.
