badsworth Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can anyone offer any suggestions for locations from which to VIEW (only) the Red Deer rut on Exmoor this Sept/Oct? I am going to be staying for a few days and my wife has asked if we can find a location to view the RD during the rut (probably influenced by 'Autumnwatch'). I don't have any permissions there so will not be taking my rifle but I do want to encourage her interest. Can anyone help please? Specific locations if possible because I don't know the area.

CharlieT Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Forget September, October is the time. Where abouts are you staying and I will try and give you a few pointers where to look in that area. Remember that there are deer over most of Exmoor so you should be able to find a few stags with hinds. First light and dusk are the best times. Areas such as Dunkery, the Exe Valley, Exmoor Forest, Deer Park, Long Holcome through to Simonsbath and the Barle Valley are all good areas.
