Thread: Any roaring yet?

I had a bit of a look around to the north of there (across the river) last Tuesday MD and saw two stags together with a group of hinds just feeding. We shot a yearling in a different gully and watched one of the stags depart with the hinds. Strange thing was he had a broken antler and appeared to be limping but had the girls, and saw the other stag a bit later and he was a better animal. Maybe he was gay.

Again, no noise other than on the surrounding farms.

I hope everyone has a good roar last few roars been terrible where I go - just to warm- hunting in summer shirt- only roaring at night -- not great

Overnighted in Pureora Nth blk last night, Didn't hear any roaring. Met a hunter on his way out on my way in, he had only heard one moan for the day.

Farm stags are roaring every second night or so.

As a matter of fact, yes they are. Snuck up on one making that strange chuffing noise that they do, just along from Rainbow Reach. Was a bit small so left him to it.

Come on , you know the rules, no proof without that photo.

Just got back from pureora- can confirm no roars. Called it quits early.

I think it’s still to warm.

Nothing making noise yesterday wallows being used plenty of rubbings very hot cornflake country in bush. Kahurangi area

If it wasn't enough to have to chase the cat round 3 times last night to get mice off her before she frees them in the house two stags in the forest over the river started up about 3 am. Honestly what does it take to get a quiet night.

I pureora south block, no roaring yet. Was close to a deer passing not too far from my trail cam spot. I heard him vanish away as he crossed my wind. Nothing else otherwise.

One moan at 9am in the north pureoras and that was all today. Dry cornflakes to walk on and rubbish left in the hut by lazy buggers

Was up the Hopkins Valley the last few days. Didn’t hear any roaring

Black Gully domain tonight fallow croaking going right off
