Thanks for the kind words. The whole experience was amazing and I cant thank my friend enough! Chris wants to measure him and then he will be on the wall.

very nice stag. I am guessing a lowland stag? With a head as big as that. Was it Devon?

Yes, from the Thetford area of Suffolk. Breckland stags; the biggest in body weight and antler in the UK.

lovely stag mate. Stags in Scotland would never get to that size. However stalking stags in Scotland is very challenging as the terrain is very difficult. You should book a Scottish trip you wont be disappointed.
This chap took 3 days of climbing mountains ,wonderful country. He dropped to the 30-06 at 170 yrds.

I have been to Scotland for Roe, I do need to go to the Highlands for a red though. As you say, size wise there is no comparison. The hinds down here weigh more than a Highland stag.

Nice one Tom well done

 

[Bobpuckett]

Congrats! Nice one.

Interesting you had him at 8.5 Kg and the score sheet has him at 6 Kg.

Was your finger on the scale when you weighed him? That is a big drop in mass on the skull. I know wet vs dry, but wow.

By the way, Congrats on your Medal Stag.

I think perhaps with all the excitement on the day there was a misreading on the original weighing . I witnessed the scoring so I can confirm its gross dry weight is 6Kg.
