An evening listening to the bellowing of the stag
Towards the end of September and for a very specific period of time, the stag starts to bellow. But what exactly does it mean to spend an evening listening to the stag bellow?
The stag's bellow is the call that the stag makes to draw attention to itself during the mating season. It's also known as the rutting season, which is why it's so important to respect their privacy and not rush them during this mating season.
The bellowing technique is therefore used by stags to impress females and to differentiate themselves from the other males present. And it works 😉
Different types of pitch:
There are different types of grazing:
- Presence bells: brief sound to signal your presence
- Brâme de triomphe: a powerful sound to signal success
- Defiant bellow: provocative sound to impress competitors
- Chasing bellow: call of a stag when chasing a female.
