Making his presence felt one of the biggest stags who has over thirty hinds comes forward in the evening sunshine and roars to let all the other stags on the periphery of his hareem know he is about.
The stags use their roar to let other stags know of their size, condition and presence.
A short video of Red Deer stags roaring can be seen here.
A stag taking a break from the rut can be seen here.
