Hi Ken, just found your channel. Like you I’m just starting out here in the midlands (Laois). I can definitely see your photography improving over the various videos. Might meet you in a field some day 😂. Sean.
Hi Ken Great footage considering the rut wasn’t good !! Where I’m based the rut was the worst in my 30year of studies on red deer !! Reason as there was absolutely not one single acorn to be seen for the deer to feed on !! So the hinds went and feed on grass land fields !! So the hinds who are in charge of the rut , didn’t even get into forest 🌳!! So definitely there feed is more important than mating !! But obviously they do come into season! But stags have to stay in locations with them !! Hope that answers why the rut was so bad ! Seems to be the same with other contacts I have over the uk here !! Great channel just subscribed 👍
great video and great shots
@@adrian-l1r5e thanks 😊

Thats very interesting! thanks for the explanation.
Thanks for info, I was thinking maybe I just had over anticipated what I would see, but it seems every where is the same
Ye I was very disappointed this year only a handful in Knockreer just hanging around no action
Nature unpredictable
Lovely video either way! There is always next year with the help of God!
