The Roar - Let's see some photos!
-
FFS Josh, you could have put up a photo of a spiker (or one of Tim's deer) as a starter to make us feel better before blowing us out of the water with these ones

+1 I'll be chuffed with a spiker....even if its not roaring......
-
This one here whilst not a great head was a great hunt.
The type of hunt where once you have shot it the fun has stopped. No more up close roaring. Hairs no longer sticking up on the neck and arms. Just the bush returning to silence except for the birds.

I cant compete with Josh and those heads, most of the stags I shoot don't have antlers.

This boy had 7 hinds & didn't get shot

Nice potential Munsey :thumbsup:
Was it in recent years?
-
A great trophy doesn't have to be all about the best head. It's the hunt, the story, the mates, the memories that go with any head that makes it one to cherish.
I wish I could find the pic of my first deer, a spiker shot with mates during the roar of 2004. To me it is a trophy

[QUOTE=JoshC;340180]Nice potential Munsey :thumbsup:
Yes Was showing great potential , was back when the choppers stopped shooting because of the 1080 in the meat . Goes to show what 3 years does . Seen him and 15 other stags . One was a cracker will try and find photo . Sadly they started up again and him and his 15 mates vanished into salami and German sausage :XD:

Its more about the camaraderie, getting away from the phones wives kids boss work etc and some camp tucker shit talking etc and a bit of meat than a whack of antlers for me.
If it was about the antlers I wouldn't live in Nelson.

This was my first roaring stag - Pohangina Valley - always called it Nine Point Knob thereafter
Must have been 1965 - 30.06 on drilled 150gr US Ball ammo - bloody hell that was fifty roars ago - I hope to get back there this year :omg:

Great to see young ones out doing it so early.
-
Great photos and memories guys, I'm getting ramped already!!!!!!!!!!! Got an 8 pointer in last year's roar, will never forget that experience!
-
@Scouser put the pic up again

Stag roaring a couple years ago. Lots of handy stags around here but bigger heads are harder to find.

I had been roaring away and then decided to have a tactical power nap. I woke up and gave a roar. Next thing you know this guy appeared about 7m away. And that was all she wrote.

Stags have been wallowing hard down here, but mainly due to the warm weather.
Spent 5 days hunting over the weekend, saw 7-8 stags, they were all hanging out together still. They had starting riding each other and sparring a bit.
Rams on the farm are starting to get active and fight etc, usually they're active only a couple of weeks before the stags start up.
I'm back into the hills tomorrow/sunday to try a find a decent red before we go into Fiordland in 9 days time.
Exciting times.

Out after a mission of a hunt this weekend.
Stags are all still mobbed up, but I did hear one roaring at least 5 times last night while camped in the mountains.
Saw this stag and his buddy last week, but we couldn't get within a few kms before they disappeared.
I managed to catch up with them this morning. 12 hours to carry his meat and head out.
