Roebuck Season Begins Anew at Trolle Ljungby

The opening of the Swedish roe buck season in August is something special. This is the first of eight episodes following roe deer aficionados Franz Albrecht Oettingen Spielberg and Jean Dominique Strum hunting at Trolle Ljungby Estate in southern Sweden.

Franz Albrecht Oettingen Spielberg has his mind set up on a very special, but also secretive roe buck at his first afternoon at Trolle Ljungby Estate. His hunting companion, Jean Dominique Strum, has a spectacular luck when hunting an impressive old buck – and also sets out to find an antlered doe.

Both Jean Dominique and Franz Albrecht hunts specific roe bucks that they have seen before on Trolle Ljungby. Jean Dominique witnesses the immense effect that a roe buck call can have. And Franz Albrecht not only encounters the old buck he is hunting, but also another buck with a peculiar nickname.

Although just a novice in the art of calling roe bucks in the rut, this particular hunting method is deeply fascinating for the Danish hunter Jakob Mielcke. In this episode he is hunting roe bucks at Trolle Ljungby estate in Sweden and gets the chance to try to call in a buck from a great distance. Stalking another buck he learns a lesson about always being ready.
