Thread: First Roar - A open question for the more 'seasoned' hunters

I was a member for 3 yrs, NCDA.Went to the odd working bee,good social event.Good meetings and listning to hunters talks on their overs seas hunts.
But it was allways hard work trying to mix n chat,you felt like a stranger at every meeting.
Iv have meet many 1000s of guests in my bnb over the 28years so iv had plenty of practice at meeting n greeting people.
But it was allways hard work at the NCDA meetings.Maybe i looked like a poacher or night hunter😄I did win the top red stag trophy one season.And it was shot on the 16th April at 6.30am up the Rakaia.Id loved a vidio of him trotting up the river towards me,buitifull stag chasing two hinds.
Any how back to work,have a good day guys.

Thanks again for the advice team. Four days in the Lewis Tops got me what I was after.

This was the oldest stag of many seen, and the only metric I was concerned about. Holding a large group of hinds in a basin, so I'm thinking was the right guy to expire. Lots of things learnt in the process and already planning a return trip, need a bit of recovery first though, logged around 40km under the pack and over 2km in vertical ascent.

What a place we live in!
