Hey thanks .. was starting to think my post was invisable.. When do the stags normaly start down there? I know up here i can bounce from areas that i know roar early or late and it seems to be within a few days of the year before.

Im also looking into the lower fiordland areas..

I will be living out of my 4x4 wagon for a few weeks so am hoping the weather is good.

Big boys seem to always start early but it is a bit of a lottery as to exactly when. They will be going in the high country before the start of April in my experience. Coastal stags will go a bit later.
I have been on the turps in Makarora and heard wild ones going a couple weeks into March.
Doesnt matter if they are roaring or not if you find where one is camped, do your homework and you should get a look at him.
