Buck hunting
Buck hunting takes place as stalking or blind hunting. The stalking hunter moves silently around the hunting ground, always walking into the wind so the deer does not catch the scent and run. It is important not to advance too quickly on a stalking hunt, but to take your time using the binoculars. Buck hunting takes place in the warm months, and you can hunt all day with good results. Most hunters are out in the morning or evening, but you can also find bucks in the middle of the day. If blind hunting, you sit in a high seat or tower. These are placed in clearings, along forest tracks or near hedgerows in a field. A side benefit of buck hunting is that your noiseless movements should bring you very close to other fauna.

Challenges of buck hunting

Buck hunting takes place during the warmer months, but it can still be chilly in the mornings and evenings in spring. It is important to be well camouflaged, as even though roe deer do not see colours the way we do, they clearly sense contrasts. You must therefore wear camouflage clothing which is suitable for the summer months, and that you can move in silently. Roe deer have good hearing, and it does not take much to thwart a good buck hunt on a quiet summer morning. The biggest challenge when buck hunting is to avoid being noticed.
