Went for a hunt with mladz and Adrian the other day and smacked this bloke with the 300wsm from 305 metres. After a huuuge (800 metres) tracking job we found him dead.

I shot him through the base of the neck but the shot was a bit low (I underestimated the distance) and it missed his spine, he eventually bled out.

I have stripped the velvet and he is hard underneath. He went 26.5 x 26.5 x 28 wide

Cheers for the comments

Nice head mate I was gonna put a guess of 25! He's got massive brows!!! Personally I wouldve taken it straight to a taxidermist and gotten him to get some formaldehyde into the velvet. But I have seen some nice jobs from the velvet being removed. Haha bit risky taking a neck shot I allways aim up the front shoulders or the chest!

You normally aim for the chest (heart lung area) as its the largest target that will result in a quick kill.

Yeah just can't be bOthered chasing the bugger around for hours! Easier to drop it where it is, there ain't much to eat in the front shoulders unless you can make sausages!
