hasn't been a particularly sucessfull rut for me (still working on my roaring), saw plenty of action but all quite distant and disrupted by those bloody electric fences, anyway theres always next year
Nice group of youngsters, like the Autumnal colour of the bracken, perhaps a slight crop from the top to the apex of the left hand bush?, like the contact and that little one just poking around.

Nice image Jack - excellent job on true wildies
Get your credit card out and visit Cabela's website - you'll find some grand artificial calls on there
You're better off letting the stags do the roaring whilst you concentrate on photographing them doing so. You'll only end up with a sore throat
Good to see a good glimpse of their habitat. One suggestion for images such as this is to try and have your subjects slightly off center, or a bit more to the left in this case.

Hi Jack
Nice setting - agree with Justin that they are a little too central!
