Sika Deer Rut in SW England
I was fortunate to be invited to my friends ground in the county of Dorset this week, I also dragged another friend along. The first evening was a high seat outing, frustratingly I saw a Sika stag emerge from the woods, but not jump the fence onto my side, then it magically disappeared. Behind...- devon deer

Red deer rut in full swing in SW England
It's been patchy but the stags are roaring (bolving) steadily now. A storm was forecast so we got out early. Red deer are known for not leaving the woods until very late, so we got the wind in our face and started the slow, long stalk, nothing for around a mile, then we heard the first roar, so...- devon deer

As they lay
This was a PITA, I double lunged it, dropped on the spot in a field, then to my horror it got up and disappeared into the woods, I had to use a chainsaw and thankfully the landowner was available.....his wife claimed the head. @Big Fin are you sure you can't make it over? Good training for your...- devon deer

Really considering NZ next year with the family...looking for guidance
Same here! Kind of, hunting is out of the question, but fly fishing isn't South Island, but lots of sight seeing as my wife doesn't fish, or hunt, and she has limited fitness levels. Any recommended rental companies for a camper van ? Fishing guides/rivers? Thanks- devon deer

Elk bullet in Grizzly country
As a non res Englishman my first visit to Montana my hunting partner was shit scared of encountering any bear, we visited the warden in Dillon, after our conversation he accepted we had done research and were bear aware to the best of our limited experience, I was using a 30-06 180 grain nosler...- devon deer
