Thread: What are you doing for the ROAR?

Ureweras.
Not only a question of where but when. Easter starts on 6th April. Every man and his sidekicks will be making the most of the public holidays.
Also not where Greendog, MEB and Bambislammer are. Their raucous laughter will spook anything within a National Park

I'm thinking Easter this year is going to be too early for it to be going properly. I've taken leave after Easter up until Anzac Day.

Well its guaranteed then isnt it

hi team,

this year i am after a fallow mount. its gotta be the balls!!! planning a trip otago for one, have some hunches so pretty confident on a monster.

in regards to the seasons, currently central north island to east coast north island (HB etc) is running around 14 days later than tyrpical and 7 days later than 2010.

top of the south to north canterbury is running 7 days later than typical and not much different than 2009.

we expect the season to pick up a bit but id say we will typically be 7 days behind nation wide generally.

this is all based on plant growth developement and fruit maturity, i have used this rule for years and it seems to align more or less.

my two cents

rogers.270

Thats an interesting concept rogers.270,

Your approach would make more sense than people going by the moon, lotto numbers etc

yeah its generally a pretty accurate indicator as like animals for plants its all about GDD's and temperature accumulation and cooling. im happy to have learnt something practical with half a decade of study

Keep us informed on what the 'tomato plants' say about the roar timing

Then up Ida Valley there might be a fellow that's hard antlered already. Could be a different roar down here as shit is mucked up. Stores going to Ida Valley from Southland.....UNHEARD OF!!

We got rain now!! yay

Heli into Kaimanawa Ranges to Ken's Hut block in early April.

Should be good, mates that went last year said was a pretty decent block if you have the legs for it :p

East Coast, Kaimais and Kaimanawas

Interesting theories about when the roar will go off. Me, I'm a believer that it will be early this year, based on how much feed there has been around this summer. My plans? Kaimanawas for 9 days - 30 March till 9 April. Booyah. First roar trip for 4 years and I'm pumped already
