One stag - Four photos

[ion]

Only took the SD card out of the camera this afternoon after nearly a month. Party of reds living in fodder maize. Unfortunately the Wildgame Innovations cam is the poorest performing of my set ups. The question is how many different stags are in the 4 pics. I think 2. Any opinions out there?

I'm going to say 3 I think pics two and 3 are the same stag but hard to see on iPhone , the animal in pics 2 and 3 is a belter!!!

3 i'd say! need a hand ?

My stalking partner took a stag off the place in early september that made 180 kg in the dealer ( garlloched, no head , no feet ) ! They are keeping the landowner awake at night with roaring, hammering mature apple trees, and the chidren's pony has to be brought in at night because they are terrorising him ! No 3 is the most obviously different for me with those extra small points on the brow. Will play around with windows photo to see if I can sharpen them up.

Landkeeper,
not sure if those vintage landies of yours would be up to it. Sod's law - they are harvesting at the moment and I suspect the deer will move on.

I don't see two and three as the same animal - previous poster pointed out the additional brow tines on the night shot. The first pic is obviously difficult with the results of his thrashing wrapped around, but that left antler has more points than any other of the photos, so no duplication there. Four is neither of two and three either........am going to have another look...!!

I say four fine, fine looking beasts - thanks for sharing

You can see those wee points in the day pic on number 2,the angle is different making them seem different but they are there.

I agree - 2 and 3 are the same animal. I think he is a heavy, wide span compared to pics 1 and 4. I have 2 very poor shots of a tall head which is either 1 or 4 going away.


Sadly the maize is all but cut, and there probably wont be another viewing until spring 2014.

P.S. this is like one of those dreadful quizzes in the back of the sunday papers, or is it like those venn diagrams from o level maths in the seventies!

my vote would be 3... got to love the crowning on a mature red stag!!!
