Thread: How's the recon going for the roar?

He can elaborate more if he chooses.
I also spoke with a close family friend of the Wallis’ and he said they have shot several thousand in the Haast area over the last few months.
They don’t get ‘em all but it makes it pretty tough for those of you who have a block and are spending hard won cash, taking leave etc to hunt areas that have been thrashed.

I hear mixed reports about markets
I have a clip now given to me of a mop up in the Hoki region (like shooting fish n a barrel)
But where or what is the market
They wont be doing it for fun or free
