thanks rod

if the swedish numbers are anything to go by then i think you would be feeding the bobcats and wolfes and the cougar, not getting anything out of your work. just come to scandinavia and hunt them

Nice pictures and very interesting info. I'm surprised to see that the roe deer are already in hard horn. Our deer species here are still at basically the start of the horn (antler) growing season, and will be dropping fawns and calves soon. I would have expected to see that more like in the southern hemisphere at this time of year.
When do the roe deer drop their fawns? Are the other deer species there, fallow, red, etc early like the roe too, or are they still in velvet like ours here? When do the roe deer rut (breed)? Shed their horns?How long is your huntin season?
Sorry for so many questions,interesting little deer though!

dont worry about to many questions, i like to talk about roedeer

roedeer are special in that they start early in the year with the breeding season which in denmark lies in july to august, so hard antlered from april most of the time(i did see a buck in full velvet yesterday)

the fawning is going on right now, and i have seen a few fawns allready.

our fallow, red stag and sika follow the normal rules in the northern hemisphere, so in the growing fase now and in hard antler august with the roar coming in late august/september.

roebuck shed their antlers around oktober and start growing again in late december.

danish hunting season is: roebuck only: 16/5-15/7
: all roedeer : 1/10-15/1

the season on the rest of our deer is: all stags: 1/9-31/1
all deer : 1/10-31/1

the roebuck summer hunting is very special to me

best regards

thanks guy's

first: gun and load, well this time i didnt have to borrow my wifes 223, the sights are filed in on the viking gun and it shoots with in reason out to 100 yards(longer than i usually shoot) and i just fits me for fast shots.
load were 500 grains brenneke 12 bore standard loads shoot to the sights at 50 and a bit low at 100. works very well for me.

as to the weed, i wouldent know if my life depended on it, its right up there with all the stinging nettels and tidsels in my newly planted forest.

best

The best posts are those that spark more questions!

Pix of the gun please???

{{And, newly planted forest got my attention as well. What did you plant? We put in 30,000 trees in 2002 {27,000 Ponderosa Pine, 1,500 White Pine, 1,500 Western Larch/Tamarack}. Got hit hard by the elk and deer in their first year and that set us back, but they are doing well now. For 5 years I hiked continuously and clipped split-tops and they are beautiful now. We used an 11 foot {336 cm} spacing so even after the depredation we still have lots of thinning to do. Used Pronone on the P-Pine and merely scarified the ground on the white pine/tamarack spots. The latter two went into the 210 burn spots left by burned slash piles we had after clearcutting the previous year. Wish you the best on your plantation. It is a joy to watch them grow!! }}
