How early do you start seeing signs of the fallow rut in your neck of the woods? Two years ago I saw a lot of activity from 5 October onwards. Last year, I only saw a little rutting behaviour at the tail end of October...

Can you tell I am having trouble waiting for October to come around this year?

Boggy,

We occasionally get some grunting in late September, most of it is Amir trying to get up into the high seat but some comes from the deer!!

Last year was very quiet. most people our way said the rut was a non event, but the farmer this year has seen several bucks move about and they seem to be staking their claims.

I will be out in earnest from next week when I get a freer diary so if you fancy a sit out let me know.

hi no sign of it yet down my neck of the woods went out this morning seen a few does one small pricket left him alone sat in high seat near rutting hole for 2 hours not even a doe to be seen there on the up side of things i did shoot a old vixen

I saw a pricket that was very keen to be near a solitary doe last week.

Need a bit of cold weather. I think they will start moving about a bit next week and might start smelling the week after.

Great time of year!
