Watch: calling roebucks in close, with Chris Rogers
In the third episode of our new deer management series with Chris Rogers on Shooting & Country TV, we continue last month’s theme with part two of “calling roebucks in the rut”.
It’s August and the roe rut is in full swing as we head out early on a beautiful, golden morning. Prepare to get up close and personal with some stunning roe bucks and does, gain loads of tips on calling deer, and experience the excitement of the roe deer rut in action.
This 6-month deer management and deer stalking series will cover the lowland management of several UK deer species, including roe deer, muntjac and lowland reds. It features Chris Rogers, deer manager on the Euston Estate.
