This stag has ten points and has been a regular, accompanying two hinds and a calf around the moor. But he makes no noise.

Meanwhile noises coming from the woods below Bole Hill suggest the beast with 16 points is still present. He's been hard to see however except for a sudden face to face in the rain a few days ago. Does he have a group of hinds with him and has 'ten points' just picked off a couple from the edge of the group? Hard to tell when the woods at that point don't allow much of a view.
