Thread: Tips for a newbie in the Roar - Hunting reds- Kaimai Mamuka Forst Park

Hi All,

After hours of trolling maps and exploring areas I think I've found a good piece of bush that I've spooked some animals in a couple of times, but yet to bag one there. It's a pretty secluded spot, so I thought it would ba great venture into my first roar experience. I've been looking up how to make a roaring horn - thinking of going for something simple like a piece of vacuum hose. My question is how do I approach the roaring? I'v watched a fair few vides and most people seem to roar to call them in (with the odd person trying to sneak closer if the animal isn't coming out.

My questions is where in the bush would be a good position to set myself up in for a roar, the place I'm looking at has four distinct areas that I could position myself in:

1) Some denser bush on steep sides, which probably 5 -10 meter viability. It has lots of game trails though;
2) A ridgeline that isn't exposed, but looks to have some old farm track. It has some good areas with less dense bush wherre you can probably see around 20-40 meters;
3) A large grass clearing, I didn't see a ton of sign here, but there was a few places where it looked like animals had bedded down;
4) A gully with large mature trees and open forest floor. This seem has the best distance to cover (also would you sit at the top or bottom of the gulley?)

Cheers in advance.
