Undi are you seeing mixed groups up where you are , I have seen a herd of around 40 odd today of reds , both sexes & a good few young, they look no where near ready for the cold weather where getting up here now, still in summer coats , never seen mixed groups this early either

Not quite sure what you mean by mixed groups Kay ....if you mean young and old together then yip there were a few yearlings among the herds. The hind was shot from the car window but had to be patient for the stag....spent a few hours in a damp and cold hide before one wandered close enough..really struggled with the light and shutter speeds.

 

The hinds and younger calfs were more bold

i only see stags normally in the rut up here & then see bigger groups of stags & hinds as the rutts ending , then after the end of nov i only see hinds who normally disapear by may time , then they bring the calfs out august time

 

so i was more than supprised to see stags & hinds today in a big group & there coats look nothing like the deer in your pics , beginning to wonder if this mild spell we had has contributed to it x

It might have something to do with the weather. Generally speaking the normally stay on the hills and mountains when the weathers ok. The snow always brings them down to lower ground to feed.
