Roe Rut 2023

[Sol]

No real chasing from what I know of but the deer are starting to pair up with there respective does in there territories, I'm sure a day or two from now actual early days of chasing and rutting will begin and deer that have been elusive will start appearing.

I'm sure most deer will be responding to calling now last week It was very 50/50 mostly young bucks coming in.

Bad form replying to one's own post but: Weirdly I also seemed to call a hare at the same time - has anyone else experienced this?

Quite common.

Nothing.much happening yet but any day now..
27th seems to be the optimum day.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Called this buck in yesterday from about 250 yards. He came in like a train had to shout to get him to stop

Well done mate one less for the lampers !

Back out tonight, 14 degrees, light rain and.......no deer. No bucks, no does just a couple of fallow crashing about in the bracken, which is about 7 foot tall. Try, try, try again....

I was topping some docks before dark,a buck came through the game cover 25 yards away hot on the tail of a doe.
Not far off now.

Out tonight, had a young buck and doe in a wheat field about 400 yards away, ear twitches were the only response to the Clausen call and the Buttallo so no progress was made.
Shortly after that the temperature dropped clouds rolled in and it started raining so called it a night.
Forecast looks marginally better for tomorrow but we shall see….

Rut on in West Sussex ....shot an old six pointer this evening chasing a doe Buttolo brought him in to 41m ....deer down!!

Nothing doing in North Lancashire and South Cumbria this morning, all deer on their own. Was not warm. After rain mid morning and now bright it's hot and humid so that might help.
Off to SE Perthshire today.

A few committing to call last night, warm and humid, Does and Bucks were all solitary.
Northants Oxf’ borders.

Nothing in lancashire out last night a few about nothing responding to calls

 

[JH83]

N Lancs this AM, several unattended does. One wee buck in fenced restock came home with me but nothing responding-I didn’t persist at this point though.

Despite early promise looks like a very conventional rut, my guess peaking 2nd week in august in these parts.

Going well in Wiltshire. Called a few tonight

 

[gaza916]

It’s going well in Warwickshire. Two bucks with almost no body fat already and two I’d say about 50% fat depletion.

 

[Devon County Shooter]

Called this one in yesterday (28 July). Yew Tree bullets providing a decent blood trail as standard .

 

[Devon County Shooter]

This was the first Devon buck I called in this year (20th July).

Went out wednesday and thursday evenings and saw nothing to the buttolo call, i do not know where they have gone out of the cold wind?

Go to the same fields/places you have had success in the past. As the years pass it amazes me how predictable the areas are for the roe to rut in. Ive got one tiny field not far from my house that I think I could shoot a roe buck in every other day during the rut.

Spain roebuck rut is full these days, I watched many trophies yesterday and I shooted a good one

I did just that to the place where I shot 5 in previous outings, I waited for 5hours but saw nothing, I just do notunderstand what has happened to them!
