2 years back i travelled to one of Marius areas where they hunt redstag in the rut.
The thing is that i had to plan it early, Marius told me what where the best dates normally.
But in that period it was still very hot, more hot as normally with the rut, but still the redstags where roaring.
This hunt was in his flat area’s, i hunted there before and i bagged 2 redstag in that time.
The redstags where more active in the morning then in the evening, so my first redstag we followed the sound for a few miles, this deer was walking with his females.
Then he went in an open field, and soon i could take an shot on it when he was standing free from the females.
The shot was ok, and i was very happy for the trophy, we went bag to get the car to load it and went back to the hunting house for breakfest and some Tuica(local strong drink)
In the evening we had only a short time when the redstags where roaring, so no succes.
The next morning we started again the dark, to walk where the roaring was coming from, we crossed some redstags, but they fitted not in the management plan and we continue.
Then again we heard roaring and noise again, 2 redstags where fighting over the females, the winner returned to the females, and Marius his ranger give it free to shoot, everything went very fast, and could shoot it, it walks a few meters and it dropped.
We wait an moment and walked to the reddeer, when we came closer I realized what i shot, it was the best redstag i ever shot, it had a very nice shape, pff what a morning and still full with adraline.
Thanks again Marius from @HUNTROMANIA for this adventure.
Here are a few pics of the red deers.
