henry d Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Firstly apologies for the low quality pic from the phone Managed to sit for 1/2 hr watching this fella roaring at the rut. It is the most amazing sound ! After 10-15 minutes he had called his harem of 10 hinds and calves into the field, each time he was sniffing them and grunting very low. Then I saw 3 young stags trying to pluck up the courage to go into the field and try their luck, but the big fella kept on bellowing away I have never seen this before except on TV and it is amazing. I was back in the same area again this morning to get the switch I had seen and he was out there in the field in darkness bellowing away, thank goodness no-one lives within 3 miles of here as it would be hard to sleep through. He eventually led the ladies back into the woods and still carried on roaring, however it echoes well in the woodland and made it even more special. Hope to find a codec for the film clip so I can post that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Things like that add to the overall experience of shooting. It's not always getting the shot that matters, in my opinion that is often just an added bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davie mac Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 That would have been a great thing to see and hear, your a lucky man henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I shot my first Red stag during the rut last year, exactly one year ago this weekend coming. It was a truly unforgettable experience and certainly got the adrenalin pumping. I've been invited back this weekend to try for another one so, fingers crossed. Good luck catching up with the switch, hopefully before he injures another beast. ATB Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 A mate & I used to have a permission on a deer farm up your way Henry and we had to be bloody careful during the rut: the dominant stag was a sight to behold during that time Hope you find that codec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
