Thread: Fallow Rut

Hey guys, I've got a block with the odd fallow wandering around, seen a decent sized buck a few months back, was still in velvet so passed on the shot, whats the fallow rut timing like? I know all areas are different, with feed/hinds ect but as a general do they kick off around same time as reds? Or are they late to the party and kick off in a few weeks?
Cheers team 

Usually later than reds

Month after reds wouldnt be far away.

I'll tell you only if you take me for a hunt with you :p

They are just starting to turn up at rutting grounds haven't started scraping yet they will in the next 2 weeks b sure to get him early b4 he scrubs all his points off fighting

I’ve got a fallow block mid April so selfishly I hope they are in full swing then

They're having rumbles round here now but none calling does in yet

2nd week in April every year on my block in waikato like clockwork

Cheers lads! Will go for a nosey this coming sat, hopefully bump into the big fella ��

Scrapes have started too although bucks still seem to be mobbed up

Blueys?

The common theory is that Blue Mountain rut peaks on ANZAC day. A week or two either side should pretty good.

croakin ere but certainly not 'goin off', id picture it as similiar to hearing a 'moan' here or there...

see a few young punks chasen chicks as satelites to the much larger fellas

Yep Blueys. So if the theory is on the dot then it means I will be in a little bit early. Hopefully will hear some good activity regardless.
