A very good video. As a stalker with less experience than yourself could you please explain what the twig in the mouth and the one on the back is all about - I guess it's some sort of mark of respect for your quarry.

 

Yes it is mark of respect. Last bite tradition, quite popular in continental Europe. It is more popular on a driven hunt and the purpose is also to show you were successful on a given drive - branch in your hat. One twig is the last bite for the quarry, one goes on the side with the broken part pointing either to head or tail indicating sex (less obvious in case of wild boar than deer...) and one slightly dipped in blood to hunter's hat.

lovely greg i like the tight tign on your buck is this typical for the area you hunt i find this is the normal head type in my area unlike that one in my pic it has a really broad span of tign very unusual i thaught ,atb wayne

 

They are usually quite thin with little span. That one is tall but not much weight, this is all mature forest so this one is well above average for this area anyway. ATB Greg
