Very Wise Decision Charlie!

[Charlie]

Now that I have come up from the boxes for air I thought I would share this event with you.

Whilst walking in the forest early during the week Charlie was mooching in amongst the trees checking back regularly. In the near distance I could see a very BIG Stag, full on antlers, he was massive. Charlie still mooching and my heart rate increasing by the second Then out he popped, he stood on the track Stag looking at Charlie, Charlie thinking what the 'eck is that, haven't seen one of those before. I didn't say a single word, no cues nothing my heart was in my mouth thinking PLEASEEEEE don't chase it, when all of a sudden he came back to me, popped him on lead, filled his face with treats and moved on. Thankfully so did the Stag xxx

Phew - good lad Charlie. Big critters those red deer stags aren't they? They can get a bit stroppy too.

I was stamped at by one in the field near us a few years ago when we had BJ, who fortunately, totally ignored the stag and I hastily backed out of the field.

 

[Charlie]

He was truly a big lad. I have never seen a Stag before , I guessed they could be stroppy hence my worry. All's well that ends well, this time!

Blimey Fay that must have hurt like hell? xx

Especially now I think it might be the rutting season (could be wrong!).

Rutting season finished about three weeks ago so most of the stags and deer have gone to higher ground. x

No, he stamped AT me not on me - had he stamped on me it would have been 'goodnight Vienna' or very close to it

What a good lad he was , red stags can be very dangerous if threatened, so yes, he was a wise boy indeed

Wow! That was a Moment.

I must admit I was wondering how you could possibly get into a position to be stamped on! I thought perhaps you knelt down to put the leash on your dog and the deer snuck up behind you and stomped or something
Very glad to see it was AT not ON
