This years Red Deer Rut at Woburn **Updated**

[rob-nikon]

I thought I would start a thread with photos I've taken at this years Red Deer rut. I've put them in captive forum as they are taken at my local Deer Park in Woburn.

First up are a few silhouette images taken this week.

I got a wider view of same stag, I'm not sure which composition I like best, probably its the closer composition.

Thanks Jason. I got a bit of luck with the stags being there. I have a wall space perfect for one so I am thinking of it, just not sure which one yet.

The rut looks like it's started this weekend. Several large males with harems. I got caught out in the rain this evening. This large male is still trying but already had a bit of a limp.
