Join the Irish Deer Commission on their annual Red Deer Rut Watch event in Killarney National Park, County Kerry on Sunday October 12th.
The breeding season for wild deer known as the "rut" is one of the highlights of the wildlife calendar as stags roars out to their competitors and battle like gladiators for the right to breed with females. This amazing spectacle has taken place in County Kerry continuously for over 5,000 years and Killarney National Park is acknowledged as one of the best locations in Europe to observe the red deer rut.
This event is co-hosted with the National Parks and Wildlife Service and is free of charge. The walk takes place at the peak of the red deer rut on Sunday October 12th.
The event is family friendly event and suitable for all fitness levels, with no specialist clothing required. There will be talks by Conservation Rangers and the Irish Deer Commission, along with a display of native red deer antlers.
