  2. Rut season what to do !

    On my 17 acres grounds I have spotted a big sika stag surrounded by hinds. I have yet to shoot my first stag and I'm very tempted to cull this one, but I eat all I shoot so= How much longer should I wait until the meat goes back to it's normal taste ? (You know what I mean) Could the stag go...
  3. Roe rut behaviour literature

    Hi all, After five blank outings on the trot in the last two weeks, I think I need some help! I seem to keep getting the weather/behaviour prediction/timing wrong. It has obviously been very hot and dry (until my Friday night/Saturday morning outings which really tested the waterproof) and...

  8. Have I seen my first rut?

    I was out early yesterday morning with the dog. It was before sunrise, so probably about 5.30am. I walked along the side of the field, feeling chuffed to bits as the dog was actually walking to heel. I look up, and about 150 metres away I see what I think is a roe doe in one of the entrances...
