auquhollie Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well got out last night for a look about. Took Bruxie up to a spot i normally see biests on and need to take a few more off. We parked up and got ready, after the usual reminding to Morgan (Ians loon) that we are quite at all times and single file etc etc we were off down the track. we were heading for the edge of a moor were there is a 2 acre patch of ferns in which the does love to rut. Conditions were perfect, rain had just stopped and was real muggy. We spotted a biest on the edge of a grass park not 100 yards from the landy. We managed to get through the gate un noticed and Ian settled down behind the rifle. I gave a couple of bleet calls on the buttalo and this thing came carriering down the edge of the park and over the fence. He is now stood in rushes out of site. I gave him a few seconds to come through but nothing appeared. After a few more bleets we saw him coming through towards us. Another few seconds later and he was 80 yards infront stood looking to our right on the edge of the rushed. Lets put it this way it had a croocked neck a splitt second later . Gralloch done and we were off to the larder. How is the rutt with you guys ? im not sure if its started here or finished (been away working for a few weeks). A good night.

6mmBR Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Theoretically it should be coming to an end. But who knows the effect this weather has on things. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auquhollie Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thats what i was thinking but like you say with this rain it could have slowed down the progress. Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auquhollie Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Was just speaking with a chap and he has seen plenty of action 30 mile from here. It sometimes takes a little longer down near the coast though so here is hoping...... Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingzy Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I think it came to an end on the small piece of ground I have last week. (elgin area) J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are plenty deer in this area, its just the availability that is a problem. In the Craigellachie area there could be Red or Roe, but it is most likely to be roe. If he needs any removing and he does not shoot, I will gladly help. But if you are in the area, give me a shout and I will see if I can help out.
