Loud, discordant, unearthly, frankly terrifying, it's like something out of a horror film. Except that it's swiftly followed by the sound of muffled giggling.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/portal/main.jhtml?xml=/portal/2007/10/20/ftbolving120.xml&DCMP=ILC-traffdrv07053100">This was the evening's first attempt at bolving (also known as boving, roaring or belling) — imitating the sound of a rutting red-deer stag. The aim is to make it so convincing that a rival stag will come to investigate and hopefully roar back in challenge. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/portal/main.jhtml?xml=/portal/2007/10/20/ftbolving120.xml&DCMP=ILC-traffdrv07053100">Minehead-based builder Adrian Priddle moves up to the plate. He clears his throat and lets forth a bellow of anguish. There are more muffled laughs. Welcome to the annual Exmoor Bolving Competition, both a charity event and an age-old affirmation of Exmoor folk's connection with their beloved red deer.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5A868665-C599-46C4-9D5A-5D9B6F37712E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
