Just out of the Upukerora headwaters . Stags roaring well. Busier than Queen St with other parties. Called it quits early.

My old uncle use to manage a big doc farm up that way 50 yrs ago.Nothing like doing a boundary fence check at night in the old Land Rover towing a trailor.If I was a good lad Id be allowed to shoot a deer with his 30 06.bugger it would kick like a mule.He s still alive today in TeAnu,if you like hunting storys,he s the man to listen too.Quote:

Heard first roars last Friday in Tararuas.
A spotted chestnut stag this evening, split palms,, I won't turn him down if he sneaks into my place to serve my hinds, by trad bow.
@Nathan F That’s interesting, We walked into there from Army hut several years ago, only saw one other party and they go every year, neat valley, plenty of deer.Quote:

Happened to see a couple of good stags in Redgate area, again low down and just mooching around. Hunters ute parked by track entrance into Redgate/Tarndale so maybe they’ll get lucky.
