Re: Mammal of the day

Hi Jenny, definitely one of those days that will stay in my memory for a long time
Although I havent tried, I was told by a mate who knows his stuff, that you can replicate the call of a fawn blowing through a blade of grass (he lives in SW Scotland so i`ve not had the chance to see him demonstrate it). During the summer when the fawns are around, using a call like that can bring the parents straight in.There are also commercial Roe Deer calls which do the same thing.It`s something I plan on trying this summer so i`ll keep you posted

Heres an example of a commercial one below, not cheap but they do work well apparently....

BUTTOLO ROE CALL - £19.95
