Thread: what are people thinking the start date of the roar will be .... ?

just returned from a couple of days up behind Rangi hut in Ruahines, plenty of deer seen, mostly hinds and yearlings but managed to get within 50 yards of an 8pt stag probably 3 or 4 years old , he seemed to be still in summer mode, no sign of a mane or swollen neck, and only interested in filling his belly, so i expect the roar is a few weeks away around here which is about normal .
