    They’ve been roaring well over the last couple of days.

    He was huge and very old. His tusks were just little stumps. He gave me quite a run around before I shot him. Constantly on the move and just the odd roar.

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Found this old fella Tuesday night. Watched a 6 and an 8 all sharing the same patch of scrub, but this guy had the girls.
    Hope he made the most of it

    Just got out of a 7 day walkabout type hunt through the middle section of the Ruahines with a couple of mates. Shot 5 stags and 2 hinds between us. The intent was to shoot a few deer and do our bit for the park while exploring some of the lesser visited country in the 1080 zone.

    The first stag was the best of them, hind called him out of his wallow for my mate to shoot.
    Third one, spotted him from 3 km away on the tops holding a hind in the middle of the day.

    These deer were the fattest deer I’ve ever seen on public land anywhere, perhaps a sign that numbers are where they need to be in that area. Might write a report later but for now I’m off to go south for the second half of my roar.
