Hello but take this wrong but i have quite a bit of experiance in roe & i can quite often tell if a buck's a medal & of rough size too but the wieght is the key.I was lucky & had a good teacher to learn from did roe comercially.Keep us posted on him & if you shoot him if he's shootable.

hi vmax , i was out with nemo this weekend, i unfortunatly didn,t see the buck he,s on about, as i was too busy trying to get a bead on a doe,there are quite a few good bucks around our area,s but they tend to vanish thru buck season,and we end up shooting other bucks, is this usually cos they have wised up and tend to be nocturnal ? also do roe use the same bed,s or bedding areas night after night ?, i have stalked for quite a few years , but are by no means an expert , i usually just shoot what,s in front of me , so long as its in season, most of the ground i do is smallish blocks spread over a big area and no one else much bothers

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 .

I think it might be it is a nice big old mature buck that has ruled the roost for about 4 years

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.
