Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Im no expert on the subject but I do know that roe dont use the same beds time after time and will often scrape new ones along side if they sleep in the area again . Quote Link to post

v-max 2 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hello so many question's & hard to say on your roe.Your buck's should be there in april if there now unless they winter there for food or quite as there summer bit might be busy in winter or vice versa.The doe are the secret that's fit it's all about & a good population of mature doe's will bring good buck's or strong buck's.Roe like peace & quite but will live with it & work round our time's mine in winter are more nocturnal & come april/may with longer day's & less human's out later in the light i can stalk them morning & evening.They will use several area's to sleep but you quite often find whare they have been over a couple of night's but think they scrape new most of the time.Are the other buck's you shoot stronger than the 1's you see? strange you see different 1's as they are very territorial i seen some great fight's first week of april 2006 with them & a lot of young buck's getting pushed around.I try to to shoot shootable stuff ie young & older stuff but that's fit i try & do & iv made plenty mistake's but there not rare realy & i have good beast's for what little i have with plenty round me to come in & big lad's too as i hold good buck's.
