Red deer imitation championship

This is a video about red deer in the Hoge Veluwe nature reserve in the Netherlands, and their belling sounds during the mating season.

This is a video about a contest in Germany, of people trying to intimate red deer mating season calls with hunting horns and other means.

For the first time, there will be such a contest in the Netherlands now as well; on Sunday 1 September, in the Hoge Veluwe reserve.
