Fallow rut 2023

[Silentstu90]

No grunting in South Wales this morning only from me, plenty of movement mind.

Icm heading out tomorrow morning in East Sussex to check out a rutting stand that's usually full of action. I've not heard any noise though this week so far so hoping I can just bump one in the woods at least.

Going to be 25+c tomorrow. No!

Going well here now. I will try and get some pictures tomorrow. But a quick question can you take pictures from video from a c50?

Lots of mature bucks around the stand in west Dorset with lots of grunting. Some cracking bucks showing and some old cull animals to take.

Wow! Can see why you use a quad for extraction.

Lots of scrapes here in Central perthshire, saw one good buck last night.

Nothing much happening on any of mine. Big boys coughed up. Did call 2 prickets in yesterday to 10ft

Saw a couple of does in the woods but Jo bucks at all. Rutting stand is showing signs of activity with loads of scrapes a d churned up ground but no bucks today anywhere near it.

I've never seen a fallow outside of a petting zoo in the US, but is that a particularly large bodied fallow? Beauty!!

Pretty average for an old buck I’d say. He’s not been on the scales yet but he’ll probably be 75kg larder weight.

That’s after the 300m drag out of the wood. The Guinness is tasting particularly good right now!

Took a pricket this morning, but no noise in W Sussex - two historical stands currently showing no activity.

 

[Pete6.5]

This boy was one that was grunting flat out tonight

Mate just messaged to report he heard fallow grunting in Hampshire near me

Nowt happening in my part of Hampshire yet.

I haven't been out due to covid but heard reports of some fallow grunting in South Hampshire. Maybe just about to start although temperature increase won't help.

 

[Firefly]

Grunting this morning Sussex

Spoke too soon

Out this evening & watched a buck scraping & marking then the grunting started!

Still a bit early though as temp too high really, ordinarily wouldn't expect it to start for another 10-14 days here but probably add another week to that this year!?

 

[SussexSteve]

Nothing in north Kent this morning
