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

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.

Where are you hunting @Gibo ? The Kaimais or further south?

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!

I just heard on news "roar cancelled'
Umm - I out at camp now just back having coffee and heard news say 200k hunters won't be hunting?
Was I hearing things and should I go home

That was probably somewhat predictable. I like the shit stirring aspect of it though.
