I love how suppressors are the norm over there. We have more lax guns laws here but suppressors are still taboo. Nice kills, they ought to fill the freezer well.

ya you just tick a box on your firearms application and your legal for suppresors then.you just buy them off the shelf here no questions or restrictions or serial numbers.

Out of curiosity, you say the stags are hybrids, what are the two parent breeds making the hybrid?

 

[hiddenmongoose]

red deer and sika deer crossbreed. Looks like a sika but with a bigger body ,antlers and reddish hue in coat.some other differences too like in the nose

Those hybrid stags were shot in the east of Ireland and the fallow in the midlands.Dont mind the weight its a beaut to shoot

No annual limit, once you have your licence and shoot in season your legal.

Willie, those look great, never knew there was anything like that when I grew up there, well not up in the North, except maybe in some of the estates.
