    I have found they will quite often sneak in for a look to a roar when they wont roar themselves,especially if you are in their territory..unfortunately they approach down wind if they have any brains and this is where rain is a huge help...I dont recon they can smell for shit if it is raining consistently.

    As for when they will roar or if they will roar your guess is as good as mine.

    Hey Cam. Last year the one and only stag I heard roaring wasn't far of his wallow. Like the year before I thought if I roar back (got a graf caller, worked real good in 2014) he come in and bobs your uncle .
    Unforturely, even thou it was still early in the roar instead of coming in, he had two hinds already and just took off. Al he wanted to do was get the hell out of there. he roared again heading up the ridge and managed to see him twice pushing his hinds ahead of him.
    Put me off abit roaring at one now if you close, must be better to just stalk in?? If he didn't have hinds I think I would have got him,but it was like march the 24th so did the roar start way earlier than that if he already had two hinds already? Wallows were being used early march I noticed in that area
