Jura Stag during the Red Deer Rut

It’s the time of year again for the roaring stags to produce their echoing sound in Jura’s glens and on the hills. The Red Deer Rut lasts around two months and starts mid September. In this time of year the stags are at their heaviest and the roaring helps to establish seniority within the herd. With a Red Deer population of well over 6,000 on Jura you are guaranteed to see and hear many groups. A fabulous time of year to visit the island.
