Not always. they be on the river flats before the heavy frosts come ok. I know 3 or 4 areas i can go to in the next two months and it will be likely there be sign of a stag feeding on the river flats no problem.
High feed areas is where you want to look, low or high it wont matter.
Stag shit is easy to see so looking for that sign and hunt that area , esp if theres good feed and head of creeks nearby where the stag will go to bed up and hang for the day.
Creek heads are always good for a stag, they tend to be higher and tops of ridges but early morning head for the grass low and see what signs there.
As long as it doesnt get too cold and freeze over i got a few low down right into july. In winter north facing and sunny areas is the go, creek heads and on the tops of ridges but
when winter really kicks in they disappear from the areas they were in the roar and can be very hard to find.
