Thread: Whats your Roar 2024 plans, and goals?

Try get the kids onto a stag each the young fella missed one last roar 😔 but I get more enjoyment of getting them or a mate onto a stag than shooting them myself. Always load up on hinds if seen.

Day hunts with a workmate week after Easter.
Just local should be able to get him onto something.

Only goal this year is to get my daughter in the bush (safely) to hear them going off. Secretly I hope they are quiet all day and fire up at night when we are in the tent she will shit her pants

It is/can be pretty exciting regardless of your age.

You could chance your moniker?

Will be out pretty much every weekend from the second half of March til end of April. The biggest downside to my current job is that Feb-April is by far the busiest period of the year for my team, so little/minimal leave to be taken during the roar. I'll be hiking in every Friday night and out every Sunday. Would much rather hunt mid-week, but it is what it is so I just have to make the most of the weekends.

My priority has always been meat, so the first 5-6 years I hunted I never bothered chasing stags during the roar. Roared in my first, a relatively young 7pter, to 8m in 2020. I'll only shoot something now if it's a decently better head than my first. Passed up a much better one in 2021 so my younger brother could get his first roar stag and last year didn't see anything worth shooting.

Got 2 weeks off to chase stags and hopefully bang a couple over with some good mates

Taking the whole family into a haast roar block. Hoping to meet @Rees the tramper

We have a good chance as will be staying for longer than 3 days

Mates 50th, we are doing 9 Days walking across the main divide - gonna have to a monster to warrant that carry....fingers crossed weather plays ball.

Shooting a stag would be ideal.
Always cautious about the once a year hunters who come out of the woodwork for the roar so hopefully can avoid them and find something to shoot

If I go out in the roar n hear something....it'd be a first...

Just getting out somewhere is my goal, will have plenty of time off but a health setback means fitness and funds will be zero.
