The sound of autumn...
A fresh morning with a layer of mist and, of course, a bellowing red deer stag. I love these Autumnal mornings.

A very rare capture on one of my camera traps recently, in a Pine Martin! I'm still yet to see one in the flesh, but I'm thrilled to capture one on my camera trap.

I love these early spring mornings out searching for fallow casts. sun shining, dew on the ground, and the song birds in full voice. These 2 fallow antlers are really thick. They aren't a pair, but I did find the other side to the 2nd antler in this video, later that day.
159.79 miles covered. My 2024 red deer casts, in a short video.

159.79 miles covered between the end of February to the beginning of April. It was a hard season, I didn't get any of my targets, so I had to do some research and look elsewhere. Along with these fresh casts, I found so many old casts, some of which I brought home, majority I left in the field.

      Thanks mate. Me too! I actually came about this location by sitting at a fox den one evening, when in the distant field I saw a small herd of bucks appear out of a woodland, so 2 days later I went and checked out the field and this was the result along with another similar sized antler. Love it when it works out like this 💪🦌

      Thank you! We really do cover some ground, don't we in this hobby! Very interesting antlers aren't they from those two. They are from a group up North of the Midlands, I haven't actually seen the stags with the antlers on their heads! But I have found the same stags antlers for the last 3 years now! I must try and get a photo before they cast! The other antlers are from various locations in the Midlands, Shropshire and Peak District. Thanks bud! 💪

      Possibly a rutting injury, or it could have been hit by a car on a near by road, and later died from his injuries. I've now restored his head, and he is ready to be wall mounted.

    You must be pleased with that. Trying to get one on cam has been like the holy grail for us (along with Pine marten). Roe are in surrounding areas, but for some reason they haven’t established here. I’ve seen one locally, know where they have been hit on the roads, and the likely areas they will be. We just haven’t got one on camera. I hope they establish, as they are one of the native species.

    • @TMERCHWILDLIFE
      @TMERCHWILDLIFE Год назад

      I was over the moon to capture one on camera, I've always wondered if there were any in my local area so when I checked my camera and saw the first clip I was really excited! I have been told you've been trying to capture one too! I didn't about the Pine Martens... that would be some achievement to capture one of those on camera. I really hope so too! I have seen this chap in the flesh but sadly not managed to see or capture any others on camera in this area, I really hope a Doe comes along for him!

    • @CannockChaseWildlifeProject
      @CannockChaseWildlifeProject Год назад

      The one I saw was a doe, never been brave enough to leave a camera there though. Your Buck is in his prime, he is unlikely to be there without doe’s (just my thoughts). Hopefully you get one and prove there is a breeding population.
