Out from four pm two Roe does and two fantastic well on fawns, no sign of any bucks in the area, two bucks seen away from the does, but absolutely no rutting behaviour from any of em, munty buck seen as well.
Out after rabbits this evening so all good for another day in very sunny, hot and clammy Surrey.
Is it going to happen

watched a buck serve a doe twice last evening, he looked like a youngster, very small head, there goes the theory of big bucks being dominant, could have culled him as they were 20yds from me, but have lived by the theory of ' don,t deprive a dog what you would,nt deprive yourself '

Was out last night and saw 3 seperate bucks "questing", that is to say they were running around their boundaries searching for does. Mate got 1 (I was there for foxes). Didnt have to call so dont know how it would have gone. Think we have a proper start round here
Well went out on some ground last night with a fellow forum member, saw a doe in some v tall spring rape. Unbelievably we saw two bucks, shot both first was a young scraggy four pointer with one anler still partially in dried velvet, the other was a small four pointer. Both were feeding and no sign of rutting activity what so ever. I had to neck shoot the first and it took no notice of calls whatsoever but his fate was sealed when he looked up and stared at something at the oposite end of the feild. He was engrossed in feeding on weeds in a field of stubble turnips and oblivious of our presence as food was on his mind.
We tried calling in several other likely areas and not the slightest responce.
Conversly last night my shooting buddy saw 7 roe and the bucks were deffinitely in rutting mode. That was 40 miles south.
Very strange.

Sitting at a set of traffic light in Riddrie in Glasgow, 5 mins out of the city centre in a rough scrubby waste bit of ground, about 30 yards away, i watched a buck running a doe round and round a tree, running her on a roe ring, he had his nose right up her back side and i think if the lights hadnt changed may have seen him mount her.
So at least in Glasgow area the rut is happening
Being a City Centre Glasgow Buck is this the definition of a Murder Buck

Took the dog for a walk this evening and checked out the local roe population watched 6 deer all within 50yds of each other including a buck chasing a doe hard, had a call in my pocket a after a couple of toots on the call a beast came charging down the field and stopped 20yds in front of me looking quite wound up, interesting! looks like things are starting to happen here abouts.

Might have seen some early signs in S.Ayreshire this morning but can't be sure - also nothing coming in to calls.
