SPECIAL AUTUMN DEER RUT SAFARI
Special Autumn Deer Rut Safaris
· See Exmoor’s wild Red Deer herds during the mating season when the majestic old stags on the moor will be defending their hinds against challengers.
· Outside of the rut these large Stags are hard find. During this period they are more visable if you know where to look…
· Learn about the Red Deer, their behaviour, their history, their management and their environment from someone who has lived on Exmoor all their life.
Travel in the comfort of a Land Rover Discovery 4 which has the legendary off road ability of a Land Rover combined with the comfort of a Luxury car. The D4 has good suspension giving a smooth ride compared to the Land Rover defender used by most other operators which has a tight suspension leading to a bouncy ride. Each passenger will have their own seat and these are more comfortable than those in the Defender.
Visibility is also much better than the Defender with large windows giving good views to all passengers. Our vehicle has air conditioning to ensure you have a pleasant trip even in adverse weather conditions. We only take a maximum of 6 passengers so you will not be cramped unlike other operators who will take more.
We view the wild Red Deer in their natural environment. They are very shy of humans, so sometimes we get close to them but often we are viewing from a distance with binoculars. As they are wild deer the amount of activity seen varies on each trip.
You must be able to walk at least half a mile over steep and uneven ground. We could be out of the vehicle for up to an hour so it is importnat to wear a good waterproof coat, hat and boots.
