Thread: How's the recon going for the roar?

Have been doing recon for the last 4 months, plus knocking hind populations in my spots down to a 3rd of their numbers, atleast trying to. Hopefully the stags will compete hard if their are fewer hinds to go round. Have 3 mature stags on my watch list, was going to get out after one of them this weekend except for catching bloody covid! Checked out a completely new spot a few weeks back that I e scouted with google earth and nz topo maps, a few animals around and a half decent stag which is my best so far so I couldn’t help but shoot him. The fat on the bugger was out of this world, over an inch on his rump!
