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

Got a quick hunt in sat morning in the rain in the northern ruahine, stags just starting to roar, low moans at start and managed to get two a bit more excited, but as the rain got heavy as the morning went on they went quiet by mid morning.

Always great hearing that first roar for the year.

Any other score on the weekend, in the stag department

Well good luck for this weekend guys

Went out on Friday saw plenty of sign but no animals.Gave @Sean the day off school.
Just got out and two parties of two were heading in.Another few vehicles were heading in as we drove out. Bloody good hike, will be going back during the week not near the weekends.

What's with your the rock Dundee? Did you and Sean get board and push it off the top you want to take an old pair of boots back with you and stuff them under one end

Went out with the bow Saturday and Sunday . Cocked up two good opportunities Saturday . Very erratic winds and me not being cautious enough. A vague moan this morning but nothing else. Talked to two different parties on my way out and an 8'pointer and a nice 12 pointers got shot by them, so I Will try again next weekend.

Weather this week is looking interesting for anyone in the north island

Is it what!!

choppers are frantic getting people out and others all on hold wanting to go in. might be a fair bit of koha involved to get anywhere on thursday....

Hopefully the rain will clean up my dirty smell and I can get another chance on those two buggers next weekend :-)

Usually takes a few weeks for stinky frog scent to be washed away by the rain. Might aswell spell that spot till may

MSL, I have spent time in Friwi's company and I can testify that the garlic is neutralised by the blue cheese.

Walked into a spot I used to go years ago to see if much has changed. Still a lot of animals about. Hardly got any sleep for the howling easterly all nite.
Heard one roar during the night close to where I camped so went to see if I could find him at first light. I smelt him before I seen him. A scrubby 8 holding 4 hinds.
Just about sconed him with a rock. I got pretty close as the easterly was still howling. After I threw the rock at him deer were running around everywhere. Bit of comedy for the morning.😆
That's my red roar over as I am heading south to find some fallow.
