We were in south of the lake last year from the 18th (I think). "Apparently" they had been "going off" the week or two before we got there (hate that) , so you might be spot on for your timing? We still got a 10 and an 7, but very little roaring action by the time we got there.
My 10 had been severely savaged by some other stag - big holes poked in his shoulders, and was no longer in possession of his harem.
