Archie-fox Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Managed to take my first Devon stag a few days ago, 8 pointer, watched him for a couple of hours then about a hour of crawling around we managed to get a shot..used my tikka 6.5x55, with Norma ammo..next on the list is a sika stag..

He had 4 hinds around him, and another stag hanging around about 100 meters away.. but he wasn’t ideal for a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
