Roe deer hunting with a decoy during the rut. I hunted at the Kabanskoye hunting grounds. The hunt lasted for a week. The trophy was taken almost at dusk (almost dark). Roe deer hunting with a decoy is effective during the rutting season, which lasts from mid-August to late September. The hunting method involves luring the male with sounds imitating the call of a female, as well as other sounds such as a cry of terror, the call of a small calf, or an explosive whistle, which attract the male and female. Successful hunting occurs in mid-September after the end of the mating season. By this time, the number of females willing to mate decreases, but the males are still ready to reproduce and are very easily lured. The rutting period for each female lasts 3-5 days. Males approach the females and begin to chase them. During the pre-rutting phase, the female still runs away and does not allow herself to be mated. The male chases the female at a trot or walk, keeping his nose close to the female's tail. This results in "fairy rings," which are often found in fields and forests. Knowing how to read tracks allows one to accurately determine the stage of the rut for roe deer. As early as mid-September, males respond well to the call. At the beginning of the rut, males are less willing to follow the call, as there are plenty of females ready to mate. The most important sound a roe deer makes during the rut is the whistle. This call can be heard from 150 meters away in windless weather. It is a soft, nasal "fi" sound. Both sexes whistle, which indicates sexual arousal. The female whistles only when running slowly or when a male is in sight. During other periods, roe deer may whistle for other reasons. The female whistles to search for her offspring. Young roe deer whistle with a high pitch. By imitating a whistle, the hunter imitates the call of a female ready to mate. If using a call, it's best to imitate the explosive whistle of a roe deer. This will attract males, who will think a female ready to mate is nearby, being chased by another male.
