They are massive. A landowner I know has a pair hanging in his shooting room which came over from Ireland over 100 years ago. You have to see them to truly appreciate jus how big these animals were..

Too much information.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Had the day off today so I took myself up to the natural history museum to see the blue whale, but while I was there I took a look at the Megaloceros giganteus with the set of antlers weight in at around 40 kgs...lee greagsbey wrote:Your a lucky man to see one of these up close manny...
