Posted the first pic earlier in the thread and the second pic is the same beast this year,two weeks later than last year and still not cleaning.
A nice abnormal this year with a bit of a mass of growth above the coronets.

Scottish Borders cant quite tell if same buck, but daylight one clean and coloured up, nighttime one clean buck.
Still loads in velvet.

Would value opinions on this fella, an abnormal head? I actually thought it was a branch in background, looks huge on one side he is clean also.

Probably fractured while running through undergrowth while in velvet and healed up bent

First one seems the same day and night. Cracking buck for his age, likely only 2 or 3 at a push, leave him another few years. Shoot the abnormal, also a bit scruffy.

Nice ground

Very lucky to have plenty ground and free rein to take and leave beasts most of them time although sometimes do get asked to sort one or two out.

Seeing them from yearlings right through to 5/6 years you learn an amazing amount about their habits and with them getting to age they can reach their potential.

I do love to see all your pics and it must be nice to be able to "manage" them in that way. Keep up the fine work

Some lovely Bucks there, was out this morning seen three Bucks all in velvet, managed two Does and a Buck kid, did see some potential good ones.

 

[CookM]

I went out this morning,as in previous posts,a couple of pink cleanish looking mature bucks.
And younger beasts still in velvet.
Good to see several about,but in the middle of oilseed rape fields browsing up the tramlines they will be hard to shoot soon.
It has really shot up the last couple of weeks.

Saw a clean buck yesterday evening. Last week saw a few still in velvet on different land.

 

[sako751sg]

That buck that cleaned Feb 21st last year has cleaned this week and hopefully will get better pics to show how abnorm he is.Can see better on the clips but in the pics he's not that close to get a good idea.
Also another good buck in the same place and a fox leaving his calling card.

 

[Mickeydredd]

Clean in Lothians today, shot by a friend.

 

[Nickb]

Saw another clean buck tonight whilst foxing in Durham.
