Thread: Peak time roar

Roar commencement has zero to do with

Easter
Cold
Moon

Hinds (like all female animals) start cycling triggered by daylight hours (their only clock)
Hunting pressure suppresses active early Roars in certain areas

Cold - only does one thing
It gives a crisper clearer atmosphere (if thats the right word) for the Stags to hear each other "further" away - hence stimulates more action among them
The cold morning also allows us humans more chance to hear further.

Optimum time in most regions is 2nd April - 12th April - then often you will get another spurt of action (no pun intended) around 18th - 23rd April - this is the Hinds that missed conceiving 1st cycle starting their 2nd cycle and also 18 month hinds in poorer condition cycle often start their 1st heat then
