Thread: Any roaring yet?

Both sika and red been going for a week.

A few stags going off in Hope Valley Lewis Pass. Mainly way down in the valley bottoms. Lots of hinds around not being harassed so early days yet.

Stags going mental up around Wairoa
And the front of the ruahines has come to life in the last few days

It all sounds pretty normal to me for the Ruahines, went for a look in a local spot in the southern ruahines yesterday and no roars heard but sounds like they are roaring in other catchments.

Yesterday morning was a lot of noise in the north eastern ruahines. Went for a walk further south today and didn’t hear a thing

The reds are roaring up at the main divide as of the weekend just been.

I was in the same area last weekend , shot a hind but no sign of any stags and two wallows i purposely went passed for a look had no sign of any wallowing in them.

3 days ago hunters on the Arawhata told us they were all pissed up but not roaring yet. Yesterday morning was brisk and clear, so that may help things along. But it's now grey warm and drizzly so could delay them again.

Were going good here last Thursday morning. Even had 2 run into my 143grainers

Going for a look in Ureweras this weekend.

Very little noise in the Snowdon forest yet. Stags still mobbed up. Hopefully they burst into life this weekend.

Have the moose started up yet?

Nothing talking in peel forest yet...stags in paddocks yes,in the bush,silence.

Quiet in Nelson Lakes as yet...
