Evening chaps, rut has just started here in Sussex, although it seems to be only the very mature bucks that are calling. Yesterday evening after setting my my trail cams I sat up and called, within 5 minutes a sorrel showed up to see what was going on but wasn't calling and was on its own. 45 minutes later after calling some more and clattering some old antlers together I had two prickets come charging out into the chestnut clearing I was in. Then finally saw what I would imagine to be a three/four year old Buck showed up after I'd called a bit more. It was the first rut in 17 years that I've done this with a buck call and antlers and I wish I'd discovered it sooner!
