Heard my first roar this morning in Devon

A little drop in temperature and rain overnight appears to have started things off, he was about a mile away on another permission but he roared for 5 minutes at dawn then went quiet.
I spied another stag with his hinds on my permission, observed him for 20 mins but he was more interested in eating then rutting.

Stags split and roaring in Tatton park last night.

Interesting. I was there today and was watching 3 of the real big lads laid up together without a hind in sight. A few half hearted roars from one of them, but he was literally asleep inbetween!

What I did find terrifying, while watching the deer from a respectful distance, was the group complete with a couple of kids in buggies, that walked within 5 yards of them. Blissfully aware or pig ignorant. I know which I was thinking!
