Red Deer Rut 2012

Well the first 2 weeks of October have already been very busy for me down here on Exmoor. I have been very lucky again this year to photograph this stag (see images). It has meant lots of early mornings and some late evenings, before and after running the shop all day! Nevertheless, as you can see he really is a stunning stag.  I am always completely shattered by the end of the month, but it’s my favourite time of year. I actually heard my first ‘bolving’ stag on the 20^th of September. My disability prevents me from ‘stalking’ the deer over any distance myself any more, which is very frustrating! However, I have often had some of my best moments and photographs from one of my hides, and with patience, I have also had some close encounters on the open moor close enough to photograph. It’s always nice to see and catch up with other deer watching lovers who come over to Exmoor to see and hear the rut every year. I have my new images for sale at the gallery in Porlock and online as always.

Looking forward to yet another fantastic Red Deer Rut on Exmoor! Please click on images below to see Gallery
