Thread: Reds using wallows already.

The marks are clearly stag marks, ones a very big one. Same as some of the trees around the wallows, some rub marks from antlers, maybe rubbing the last of the velvet off maybe.
Seen stag droppings in the surrounding area as well and have hunted these places from the last 5--6 years...next to no stag sign esp around wallows in summer until late FEB and esp March.
I have the game cam set up where a good stag was using one of the wallows so I get that end of feb and re set in hot spot. Previous two years since had game cam I always set up at wallows thinking the hot weather in summer bring animals in...no pictures of stags, only odd pig and a couple of deer. One of the biggest wallows around here the whole of Jan last year not one animal went to it until March then it was a highway. This year theres stags there already.
