Roebucks at Trolle Ljungby

Head keeper Linus Larsson and his helper, Finn Sakslev Andersen, will most certainly do what they can to deliver. And they have some ideas as to where this year’s bucks are to be found on the historic estate. Here, we will join the two friends Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg and Jean-Dominic Sturm.

Roebuck during the late summer is a unique experience, and good experiences just get better when shared with friends – like Jean-Dominique Sturm and Franz-Albrecht von Oettingen-Spielberg do at Trolle Ljungby. On the estate, the harvest of wheat has begun, telling us that summer is about to turn into fall. Tomorrow morning will be the first day of the open season for Swedish roebucks.

Normally, the rut is most intense in the end of July and the beginning of August. By the 16th, the main rutting season is drawing to an end, and the call isn’t always as effective as it would have been a fortnight before. But it is important to keep alert. You never know what will happen next, and Franz-Albrecht keeps his rifle ready for immediate use.

The saga of the fabulous “Franz Buck” came to an end. Pursued for years. Outwitting the hunter on several occasions. Old. Experienced. Still king of the hill in the rut. But not necessarily fit enough to survive the winter. This is how he will be remembered. Magnificent as the historic Trolle Ljungby Manor itself.

We witnessed Franz-Albrecht von Oettingen’s successful outings in the previous episodes. But what about his hunting companion, Jean-Dominique Sturm? He had some specific roe bucks in mind. Three well known bucks at Trolle Ljungby Estate in Sweden. One is a high six pointer, often seen in wheat field.

A tremendous day is coming to an end for Jean-Dominique Sturm. Three marvellous roe bucks. Three fantastic hunts - Experiences, that were shared with his good friend Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg - A better evening is impossible to find for two passionate roebuck hunters.
