Thread: It's that time again... Sambar Rut

The problem with there patterns is they move a lot at night although we got some good pics in a wallow at 11.30 in the morning and was there for a while. We have thought of the tree stand but as he ranges over an area of up to 5-6 kms it's near impossible to know where he will turn up next and at what time. We can only hunt on weekends so a lot of the shots we get are on week days.
You are right he is a top class stag and one that as you say you couldn't shoot and many others are the same, we obviously would take the shot but that is a personal thing. One thing is for sure we have great memories of hunting him and the other deer in the area and the camera shots we have are as you say a trophy in there own right. He is the reason we get out of bed on those cold winter morning and spend time searching for him, being out here is what it's about, taking him in fair chase is a bonus if it happens.
