Just to get the impression - this is how a hunting occasion usually plays out - I took a vid when I was alone without a client (all stags were hunted and shot in the daylight):

And an incredible occasion that came up when I was feeding the bears - at 11 a.m. I heard a couple of stags roaring and decided to check them out - slipped beneath the path and after a couple of calls it came - it (young 3 y.o. stag) doesn't get any closer:

Thanks for posting.

So you are hunting on foot in the forests? Not from a stand or hochsitz. Nice.

Hunting in the rut certainly would make it easier in thick forest to find and get a shot at lusty stags.

You got nice and close to both. Especially the second.

Do you use all the venison from rutting stags for humans? Any special treatment when skinning? And also how the older stag meat is used?

Do your clients take the venison home with them? All, some, none, used or sold locally?

I always prefer to take an older male deer out of the rut. The meat is better. Of course hunters think in the rut us easier and other hunters might shoot "your" animal if one waits. For my fallow, an eighteen old doe or twelve month old plus buck for the best tender meat. An older buck is less tender but of course could have twice the venison weight.

Thanks for posting. Always interesting to see hunting some
where else in the world. Europe is of interest always to me, and Central and Eastern Europe especially.
