Thread: Wollows???

Hi guys, went for bit of a walk today and came across what i would call a well used wallow and it looked like it had been used earlier today heaps of sign around it and muddy water but no smell. what i want to know is when do the stags start using the wallows i thought it would be later than this time of year.

Red deer will wallow all year round but most often in the hot months up to the roar.

Chuck a game camera up Kiwiman. You may get a pleasant surprise.

Good work Kiwiman

That wallow may hold your roar stag

Keep a good eye on it From a Distance.

If you stomp your scent all around his wallow he might abandon it.

Keep the location to your self too so someone else doesn't bugger it up for you.

If you have a trail camera set that up and see who's visiting.

Cheers
Pete

Thanks guys and yep to the camera thats the next thing to do.

I never used to believe that red hinds wallowed until the old man accidentally set the trail cam to video and not photo and we got a heap of hinds coming in, rolling around and playing in it. Even got one with a young red stag roaring from the wallow.

So yeh, all year round, not surprised bout the lack of smell this time of year either

To true, the girls don't mind a roll in the mud. have seen a few getting dirty over the years

Found this network of about 15 wallows during the roar, all appeared to have been in high use a week earlyer

Deer will wallow year round to an extent.

Looks like a good spot to focus some attention on VC

Don't get up there often as I don't have a boat.

might know where there is a little one with a paranoid owner

Some good action at those wallows VC. Chased a stag for two years that hangs around this one, got within 100m this roar, hes going to be a big stag, biggest mark ive seen so far in the bush.
