Thread: It's that time again... Sambar Rut

With the weekend just gone being the first time we have checked most the camera's for three weeks due to possum op's so we were real keen to see what had been about. Both the camera's on wallows had over 200 triggers with some good footage of our target stag PD. PD also turned up on 5 other camera's so he had been busy tracking around his territory. Lots of Redskins as well with one mob of 7 Hinds and yearlings with a spiker.
A new Sambar stag also turned up and we got him on about 4 camera's and most the time he got up and did some awesome preaching, amazing how those big stags can get up on their hind legs and rub there scent glands under there eyes as high as they can reach.
So no luck on PD but good to see he is still dodging the doggers which have been busy up there as well. We got a few different lots of dogs going past camera's so they are a real threat to the sambar.
We will be after him again next weekend weather permitting.
