Our roe deer:
August is certainly the most exciting month for hunters with a roe deer territory. Right at the beginning, the mating season is approaching its peak. The leaf hunt begins. Natural aids such as beech leaves or artificial decoys are used to imitate the whinnying of a doe, roe or fawn in order to attract the buck. At this time, the older, otherwise more secretive bucks also show themselves. It is important to take advantage of the opportunities here, as they disappear again without a trace after the rut.
Our wild boar:
Harvested grain fields magically attract sows. A hide is just as worthwhile here as in the maize fields. The mobile ladders previously used in the cereals are set up at the changes at the edge of the maize field in order to be able to react quickly to damage.
Defectors now form larger packs together with leading bucks and can cause considerable damage in a very short time. In many places, our wild boar feed all year round and must be approached carefully.
The duck offspring:
The chicks are now fledged and we are getting an overview of the population. Sites are prepared for the upcoming duck hunt and it is time to further consolidate or refresh the dog's retrieve. A visit to the clay pigeon stand is a must!
