    @richardjackson39396 years ago Great hunt, after you strip the velvet do you stain the antler, potassium permanganate works, just wonder what you do if anything? Cheers. 1

    @nathanbellamy78706 years ago What a tragedy that those magnificent animals didn' t have the respect they deserved. If your not fit enough for the big country and bring out the meat. Don' t go there and just stick to farm scrub.
