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

Had an awesome trip away.
Seen a nice 5 yr old stag we seen last year as a 12.
We got some pics of him but I had to lend my memory card to a mate to do so, as he had better camera than me so I don't have access to them yet.
He was a very nice 15. All opposing points were long and even but he is still a bit short in length. It would have been a crime to shoot him as he has so much more potential. He was left in peace to service his growing harem of hinds.

If someone else shoots him, then thems the breaks, but we think he is better off to try his luck for at least another season.

The 12 I was keen on was not what I was after. He was a mature, long and even stag but we thought maybe a bit narrow and light when we got a closer look at him.
He was however shot by a mate that did well to get close enough and is very happy with him.



Got close and personal with around a dozen stags including one I almost walked into its back end as I come around a bit of scrub this morning.
I reckon I got more of a start than he did. He barked 4 or 5 times as he ran off and then started roaring once he was out of site.
Weather turned to shit so we got out earlier than planned. Covered some country and had a ball with great mates.
Maybe next year I will get to bump into a stag that will be worth lugging the rifle up and down some big hills😆
