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

Nice Hamish!
What part of the country is that? That's not a asking for your x spot Kimais etc
Are they roaring yet?
I like the colour in his timber. Should make some nice knife handles
Did he give you much of a run around? Or not see you coming?
I miss that bush hunting

South wairarapa. No roaring /moaning other than me on way out. Dog was winding him for ages, nearly didn't get a cracker at him. All worked out, yeah still finishing his stripping, mud fat for public animal

Dundee would not have seen that animal. He is so short he would have walked right under its belly and thought to himself "those four tree trunks are spaced just like deer legs. Ha ha ha ha.

Looks very similar to an average narrow Kaimai head. Looking at a couple in the office now that aren't too dissimilar

Headed out to Totara Flats yesterday, got as far as the cone hut track by the second bridge where we were going to head up and sidle along towards the flats and found out the mountain race was going through, also found out S&R in conjunction with the police dog handlers had exercises in the valley all weekend so decided to turn back. Glad we did cause on the way back we bumped into a few people heading out that way.... like about 100 members of the Vic Uni Tramping Club (not joking about the number either) going out to camp on the flats for the weekend.
Probably would have seen less people if I'd gone hunting at Coastlands mall.

S&R had apparently dropped 9 groups of people off around the valley for their teams to find, rather than risk an accident or interfering in their training we decided to leave them to it.

Went and checked out a terrace that always holds stags in the roar. Soon as i got there saw fresh stag shit so thatwas good. Saw a yearling then on a second look thought nah, its a log. Got to within 30 feet, was looking right and not left where the so called log was. Happened to look and the log turned into a deer staring at me lol. Hence, didnt get that one. Found a wallow that been used and spooked another yearling late in the day. good amount of sign around so good day out. Also saw another yearling on side of main highway at 630am on trip to the spot so the deer were tensing me all day Tried a few roars here and there, too early yet but was worth a shot as couple of stags in the area
