For those considering the journey to Bradgate this weekend, whilst there are oportunities to be had (see above), the rut is still not in full swing and a lot of the deer are staying out of bounds deep in the woodland. Those that are venturing out are dissappearing quite quickly when the dog walkers appear (about 7.45am), sunrise is about 7am, so be early
Please don't hound the deer and don't herd them about with your movements.

normal PS and a 10% crop of FF
No bracken where I'm at deer, but no camera either
Strange that the rut is well on up here Tom. Stags at the beginning of the week were well run over the w/e and are now going at it full tilt. Should be finished with us by the end of next week.
We've had three nights with frost which has helped this year.
As to the shot?
It's all right, and probably says more about Bradgate than stags as I know them.
"Very Duran Duran" hehehehe...i'm tempted to say something sarcastic about the 80's but i know it would only be a reflection of my inability to cope with growing old.
