Fallow rut??

No grunting but found a few scrapes last week - stuck a trail camera near one of them so will be interesting to see what’s responsible. Not expecting anything big as we don’t typically get decent bucks around here.
 
Shot two bucks today. Testicles well enlarged, and yellow discharge when removing urethra. Bit of a nose off them travelling home in the car! Plenty scraping and thrashing. No grunting and definitely no loss of condition yet, and bucks are still keeping company together.
 
Nothing here except scrapes, but heard (and saw) a mature buck running after does and giving a few grunts in Lincolnshire on the 9th of September.
Seemed abnormally early.
 
Managed a big old buck Sat ..he was grunting like mad in one wood. Quick rattle of some old antlers to see what happened and out he came..got to about 60 yards and dropped him. Farmer wants them gone so a bit of a "if its legal shoot it" scenario. Didnt remember to get a pic until Id gralloched him...my god he absolutely bloody stinks...fortunately a butcher friend of mine is going to make burgers and sausages for me so I dont need to deal with him.
 
There is a herd of Fallow, that live in the fields outside my wee home.

Walking the dog this morning at 0430, it was dark, misty and with a very slight drizzle.

I could hear the 'belching' of a Fallow Buck from about half a mile away.

I have (I kid you not) taken to carrying a bamboo pole as a 'defence weapon', when out with the dog. We were shadowed by a fox earlier this week, and it was not put off by my aggressive tone, or indeed by my head torch. Bastard thing was hard as nails, and had us on the run!

Anyhoo.

Meanwhile back at the Fallow; the activities of this unseen (but very much heard) Buck, must have put some of the herd out of their domain, as there were more than one pairs of 'eyes' which lit up under my head torch, and which indicated they were the 'wrong side' of the fence.

Spooky thing to listen to.


Good job I had my anti-fox bamboo stick with me for comfort...:rolleyes:

I like your weapon of choice but if a fox has you running ...a big old buck will definitely give you a nice bit of exercise in the morning after a sprint :lol:
