A magnificent royal stag, which has been
well known in North Ulst, Scotland, for
more than twenty years, and which has so
often been stalked and shot at without sue
cess that it had come to be regarded as a
charmed beast, was recently killed, after a
very long and difficult stalk. The clean
weight was eighteen stone and the head
was superb.
