    So I was not hearing things :-)

    Think all Deer here have gone into lock down too
    Never before have I gone 3 days & nights without an animal in one of my 5 GPS Trail Cams
    Not a squeak as yet either which is a 1st in 25 years too - always 24th onward spasmodic moaning/roaring

    Lol I'm back at home now but have the luxury of hunting at work. I've probably seen 70 animals in the last week. Saw a life time red stag and fucked it up. Saw 2 fallow bucks that would have been 170+ ds easily. I missed 3 easy meat animals for fuck sake havnt missed that many deer in the last 5 years. The other lads got an animal each for the freezer not big stags taken but they are roaring their tits off all fucken day.

    The farmed deer down the road have started roaring again in the last few days, even going for it right now.
    I have to work out if it’s one stag making all the noise, or if others have joined in. It’s not the first time I have heard them roaring mid-late winter.

    Yeah that happens.. Generally in farmed deer it is a single animal rather than multiple animals that do it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @JessicaChen let us know how you get on. With spring coming here the muntjac are starting to move I saw a few yesterday heading into the woods to start on the bluebells. Funny the intestines turn blue when eating them. As the mate all year round you can call em in almost any time. Hard to skin but good eating.

    Yep I will report back on my findings. It is an area that isn't very popular, not sure why, but it is restricted land so no other hunters are (legally) allowed to go in when im there which is great. Few years ago found a big wallow and scrapings in that area but never revisited since.
    Got a spot called black gully, blue mountains in the middle of April which is exciting, but cant do any recon there unfortunately.

    Muntjac are funny looking things, the skulls with fangs are awesome.

    Yeah you don’t want your dog to corner one as they will give them a good ripping if the dog has no clue and the deer has one!
    You also don’t want to hit one in the car, low to the ground and will make a good mess of you front bumper!
    Have a crossing place up the road from me. Last count was 12 bumpers on the side of the road need to take a photo of that and stick it in the crash vehicle site lol
