Thread: Deer fart

Hunting the Motu, I took a moment to have a cigarette. Almost finished and sitting in dead silence, I heard a fart! Looking over a small bank I found 2 deer. First time ever I heard a deer fart.

Not an echo?

Bet one was saying to the other "Stop it, you will give the game away if you carry on like that"!

Wind direction would be the decider in that

Yes the wind was away from them, and yes I took my time and managed to shoot both deer.
Not an echo, decidely a fart, funniest thing I ever encountered. Meat at a mates house maturing nicely.

Just like a duck quack, farts don't echo
I should know this, as I have had lots of practice

Stop eating bait then

Funny you say early roar as the deer I saw were mainly stags with good antlers, numerous of them and all spread out. No sign of harems yet but with the wet weather they are feeding up well. I was amazed by the grazing I encountered. Lots of tree rubbings from the last month. No wallows found.
It looks to be a great breeding season this year.
