On our pheasant shoot there was an older Roe Buck that ran out through the undergrowth Saturday before last on one of the drives. He still had his antlers then. This week the same fella ran out in exactly the same place and he had cast his antlers. I quickly checked my pocket info card I carry and found that yes, Roe should be casting their antlers in November
Out of a drive on a big phesant shoot in South Yorkshire yesterday came a cracking 6 pointer in full velvet,
the keeper who knows his deer said he has been like that for 2 weeks .
Saw one this AM with only one side on. finally I am seeing groups of deer this one was with four others looked like 2this years 2 mature does.there is only 1 this years now
Older bucks have cast by now up here and some are regrowing in velvet
Seen a cracker in august and he was cast end of October and had regrown a 4 or 5 inch of velvet by then,if it was the same beast
Some youngsters still haven't cast
