What would you consider a realistic expectation for bowhunters to hunt free-range Red Deer in a pre rut or post rut period?
Chances for red deer are good despite being in a non rut. Pre rut gives the chance to be one of the firsts out there so you will have opportunities. There will be not so much hunting pressure so that’s on your side. Red Deer is always a tuff tuff mission but success rate is still good on the pre rut. Post rut is more difficult but chances are good. Clients on red deer post rut packs also go for the water Buffalo, blackbucks or rams or sheep. Boar is likely to be hunted during night and chances are high if you can shot at night. Blackbuck is as tuff as the red deer because of its most of the time a longer shot in the plains.
