He was a two kilometre walk in from my ute and although i hadnt seen this stag previously i had been photographing quite a few hinds,calves and spikeys in that place,a terrible place of tea-tree cover interspersed with heavy bush...a real strong hold for cover loving sambar that a hunter cant get into so it was a wait and see session,one of many many such sessions.Usually waiting for the deer to come out into the clearing means a wait in vain.
Private property farmland behind him is a no go zone and that farm fence is 2 miles from a road.The deer just go where they want.

This stag appeared only 10 mins before last light and I will include a pic of him taken 30 seconds before the shot. There was no way through the camera or naked eye that you could tell he was a fine stag until I lifted my Swaro 10 x 42 binos up.

Using a Zeiss scope made seeing the aiming point a lot easier also.

And yes this is the same stag in the next pic.One after that is a mix of spikeys/hinds.

This is NOT the big fella I have been hunting for three seasons now.

Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.
