royal stag [in fact it was the stag “Der Grossmächtige
von Schuiken,” according to the Sèvres porcelain
plate fired in his honor for the Göring collection]...
after Scherping called me in. Stag sat on the edge of a
marsh in full cry, then worked its way around us. I
felled it with a bullet in the liver.... The stag col-
lapsed after eighty paces, my second shot missed....
Gave the coup de grâce to recumbent stag. Strongest
stag ever seen on this heath, strongest German or in-
ternational royal stag... Canceled stalk this after-

He shot at a royal -pointer with particularly noble
antlers. Looked for it afterward without any luck. , : Sunny and cold. Stags crying
magnificently. Arrival of Lipski [Polish ambassador]... Afternoon, I shot Marschombalis, royal -point
stag with splendid royal left crown... clean through
the heart, killed outright.
Horn-blowing trial with Hungarian horn suc-
cessful with young stag-to-be. Other stags were shot
today by Himmler, a royal -pointer; Milch, a very
powerful -pointer; von Papen, a powerful -
pointer. Neurath’s stag found dead....

Jodupp... Not a sound anywhere. Waited in vain...
Midday a royal - or -pointer was reported in
Budwertschen preserve... Very heavy going. Stag
was grazing, had four other animals and several lesser
stags with him. Lesser fry kept getting in our way.
Drove it step by step toward ravine. Stag not crying
much. Other stags picked up our wind, took off with
harem. Deeper into the underbrush. Lengthy wait,
called off the chase... Lipski’s stag found.- Here and in the following entry “Himmler” was inexplicably rubbed out.
