    I ask as i went hunting 2 weeks ago with my cow horn and rifle and got half a dozen stags replying to me (more long moans with a cough or 2), with one charging in.
    Then i went out to the same place on Saturday and all i got was 1 roar (Deep growl of a roar) but nothing else was interested.
    i'm just wondering why?

    Because the hunters that were returning your roar last week were not hunting this week
    Sniper likes this.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt.

    The roar about a month but a stag (in aus anyway) will rut for a week or so and piss off

    The reds were going to town on Saturday night and the hinds in the mob we were watching were clearly cycling. One huge salivating stag doing the laps .
