Just thought you all might like to see some video of a mature Sambar stag, there about 25 meters away.

Nice clip piggy, What do you reckon he'd go? 26 inches? Interesting little wiggle in his right beam too.

memo, I thought 27" and another friend who watched the full video thought 26" also so I recon 25- 27 range would be pretty close. I think I have some still pictures of him from last year floating around here somewhere, he had the same wiggle on the same side so I guess same deer.

Aunty I noticed you spell Sambar with an "e" is that the common way to spell it in NZ?

Very nice video. He is definately too nice for tiger bait. Thank goodness he is an Aussie stag.

Aunty he is a great stag in anyone's book rifle or bow,I have a freezer full or meat and I won't shoot a deer just for the rack. I am happy to just watch them, last year I shot the dominant stag for the area with my recurve and I don't think I would shoot another good stag unless it is better than what I have.
I have a soft spot for deer and every time I take one I feel remorse.
About 30 minutes after filming him I had a smaller stag of about 20 to 22 inches walk out right under my stand, I drew on him for the practice but let down and let him walk away.
