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

I haven't been a arvo person in a while but it was pissing down so scratched the morning hunt opted for the arvo it was bloody windy SW but sunny so opened up some country I hadn't been to in a while checked out 3 possies but probably a bit early saw 0 & not a lot of sign either but pressed on couldn't believe it but wind dropped rite off , got to a sloping type terrace area mostly beech , manuka & high tussock & could hear a couple of animals browsing only around 30 meters away I could hear the buggers chewing leaves & rustling about but then I heard a pig squeal over in the next gully so figered they mite be hogs below me not deer I ended up watching 10 deer hooning around opposite on a slip the little shits stayed there playing for an hour hinds, fawns, young stags nothing decent then a very loud bark almost made me soil my new field day special pants the critters below where deer , started heading for home as the evening wore on spooked 2 hinds & a spiker , found where the pigs where camped up not that I saw one , hit the old track that would take me to the truck 100M along & o the temptation crusty old hind , yearling & fawn 100M distance ...& im on the track I just smiled & walked on @Paddy79 would be so proud I never blasted ONE...thinking there could be a decent stag around the corner..& there wasn't !!!
had a pig walk infront of the headlights maybe 80lb & around 30 hares , Game was out tonight , of note a couple of shitty heads had lost the velvet 1 was rubbing it off on a bush , saw 1 bigger one but not worthy of being shot was still in velvet & in a different area fresh rubbing so bit of a broad spectrum but either way shits happening the old boys im thinking have already left the tops for now.
