Lurchandhistribe 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 After a few false starts over last few weeks we were out today and the woods were full of the sound of the rut, at least two stands active and a possible third. Saw one very good buck at about 120yards but to good to be taken weirdly no prickets but alot of does. Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 The best sound in the whole of the british isles. Fallow buck belching out his overtures... Quote Link to post

stalkerboydy 4 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 unless you are a HEAD HUNTER keep your distance from the Buck's stand as you will stand a very good chance of shooting rubbish Buck's and Pricket's trying to get in on the action, the other thing to bare in mind if you shoot a Rutting buck his weight and condition will be at a Low, so less money from a Dealer an NOT the best Vension for your self ?????? Rut for me is still hit an miss Quote Link to post
