Stags are grouped up at the moment in southland was watching 6 of them 30nmins ago and dark as fuck from wallowing . Yearlings and Hinds still nice and summer red. Thought I heard a faint roar last night but probably wishful ears I expect with the daylight and temperature dropping off as fast as it has we will be days away from singing. Fingers crossed as the boys from up north get here thursday for a week of chasing them around.

Have to amend that stags this have separated up and have their own hinds one stag had 9 hinds he was chaseing, still a few roars now, shot a 6 pointer roaring his head off with his hinds on sunrise.Quote:

South Marlborough the roar is on!
Last night and Saturday night in CNI still silent.
Had a six come out to me but not roaring where I have been.
Just back from early recon in the West Tararua side in dense bush, not tops/clearing/slip areas so cannot see any stags holding hinds. No roars apart from one piss poor human effort from someone on the opposite parallel ridge basically yelling moo as if reading from a kids book aloud!
There was a stiff cool southerly with lots of banging/moaning trees but did not stop a stag coming in to have a look surprisingly when I was having a coughing fit (I didn't roar at all and wouldn't if nothing else has started season yet) after breathing in a bug that got stuck in my wind pipes somewhere. totally unprepared for it in my fits of coughs but my dog was alerted and frozen staring in one direction but I dismissed it as being wind tree creeks etc and thinking any type of animal would have cleared off from my racket...anyway it saw me first and instantly cleared off. A lot of the wallows had not been visited, only one of the dozen plus I visited had been opened and that's in the general location where the close encounter happened.
Brillant @Slug so the secret is sound like you have a coughing Virus and the stags will come charging in;) they didn’t get the memo on self isolate :thumbsup: good luck for your next trip:)
Pretty good so far keeping tabs on a couple and shot a couple that I'd been watching. Out again this evening, still haven't heard anything but friends have. Apparently on Monday there were two Sika going at each other, single calling and hee-haw.
Went out for a look with a mate, got his first deer a young Sika stag. About 20min after the shot we heard another stag hee-hawing.
Out down in southland tonight had a good roar off but lost light as we closed in on the wallow. But it's on so fingers crossed for some good times ahead 😁🙏
Great stuffQuote:

Nothing here yet (inner Pelorus) - was out for night and up at 4am at camp - not a whisper - just the Weka's going full noise on daybreak.
Maybe a bit of rain tomorrow will loosen things up
Good stuff @MaWzer do you have any pics, please?Quote:

Had 3 stags going for it on ether side of the tent last night no more than 150m away but to much low cloud to see with headlamp. Had 6 pointer roaring at lunch time yesterday. Still haven’t seen a descent stag with bez tine yet in this area just the bushy cull stags. A lot more stags roaming around now checking out the cycling hinds. Seen a young fawn no more than a month old with its mum, she must of been late to cycle last year. Time to come home nearly out of ammo, dam goats.
What has the weather been like there mate? Clear and crisp? We are only getting down to 10 overnight and a bit overcast so may be slowing it up a bit.Quote:

Mostly clear below 800m, yeah about 8 or 10 degrees at night and only 1 frost in 11 days. The bush and the big native is so dry makes for hard stalking. Most of the deer are low down where the water is. Still closest stag shot was 10m.
Cheers mate. Similar to up here then apart from the clear bit, next clear spell i'll have to leap at it :) Looking like Thursday
South of Tauranga mate. Got a mate that lives up the Kaimais and has heard some noises. I'm stubborn and trying to get a trophy out of a block i've been hunting a few years now....I have seen them so I know they are good! Getting onto them for a shot is beating me so far hahahaha!Quote:

Not a squeak as yet either which is a 1st in 25 years too - always 24th onward spasmodic moaning/roaring
Lol I'm back at home now but have the luxury of hunting at work. I've probably seen 70 animals in the last week. Saw a life time red stag and fucked it up. Saw 2 fallow bucks that would have been 170+ ds easily. I missed 3 easy meat animals for fuck sake havnt missed that many deer in the last 5 years. The other lads got an animal each for the freezer not big stags taken but they are roaring their tits off all fucken day.
