@Pixie Z Yes. Not quite full voice but stags are holding hinds and doing the rounds. The 2 I shot were holding hinds (the spiker had a couple) - the 5 pointer stag came out at my roaring to look but didn't seem ready for a fight but got shot anyway, and the other I just watched a couple of hinds on a face for 30 mins giving the odd roar until a stag turned up checking his girls out. And he got shot.
I watched an 8 or 10 pointer really going to town and herding 5 hinds - that was great - he was 375 yards away just on dark so I left him to it. I heard him roaring most of the night from my camp. All of the stags shut up at about 10am and started quite close to dark. I would say they will be about peaking now.
