Thread: Identifying yearling hinds

Yesterday’s observations. Was up Leatham yesterday. Hinds and yearlings still seem to be hanging out together, hinds were noticeably bigger and rounder, don’t seem to have dropped yet. We’re at lower levels of hillside. Four stags seen, all at higher altitude, about 900-1100m, on open ridges. Two I was watching soon disappeared when a chopper flew down valley. Last night shooting two vineyards, hinds/yearlings came out shortly after dark. One had fawn at foot, will be tender eating I guess. Two stags didn’t come out till shortly after 3:30am so maybe they’re form bachelor groups. Dead now but. Wet, miserable night and today’s not much better, but at least it’s cooler.
