Went to feed 8 big breeding stags last Saturday to find a wild stag in there and a big punch up going on. Managed to call my stags up into another paddock and closed the gate. Went back home for the rifle and when I got back discovered that a big tree had come down and flattened the fence which was how the wild stag got in and that he had now gone out.
On checking mine I realised one was missing so I left a couple of gates open into empty paddocks so he could come back if he wanted to.
Did not see him at all for the week but could see hoofprints where he had been walking the perimeter. Finally exactly one week later found him sat in a paddock waiting for a handout.:)

This is the group of stags in question but taken in August before they were de-antlered. Normally fairly laid back!

I've just won a number plate for 2nd Disco 2 that I'm running.
'Work' D2 is running a posh plate that starts with 8XX ABC, new plate reads BXX ABC.
Not intending to deceive any speed cameras, just want to make people look twice. ;)
