It all depends what area of the country you are in. Around the coast and inland gisborne we have had a exceptional year with a abundance of grass/food. Seem to get a bit of rain every now and then to keep the growth going. All animals are in peak condition, hinds are fat as and should of had a good velvet growth. The last couple years its been about the same.
In saying all that it only takes one hind to start cycling and it will kick off, and with hinds been in peak condition like most animals will cycle early. One of the area's i hunt(last couple nights) they are a week early usually kick of around the 24.
In saying all this, this is my personal opinion.
A mature stag i shot on friday night was a bit pissed up, little smelly and fallowing his hinds
