No roar hunt for me this year but managed to take this nice 10 pointer at 409 yards this morning, some good eating he was in top condition with a good inch of fat all over.

Nice looking stag Danny, good bit of meat for the freezer alright.

Man that recon paid off @dannyb

Farm stags are roaring hard out in south Auckland

Dry conditions have made hunting hard up this way, seen a few animals over the last few days. Couple stags hanging with the hinds strutting there stuff ready to go. Stil alot of stags mobbed up

@dannyb nice looking stag, Danny i just started another thread if you want to put up your pic would be great

Heading into pureora on Saturday Foran overnighter,weather looks average but hoping to hear something other than other. Hunters!

I personally haven't heard anything but, mates have heard some Sika single calling.

No reports as yet of roaring stags around here. Considering i saw 7 deer last weekend, no stags in sight or sign of any.

Heading out this weekend before things heat up. Been up the kaimais a few times over the past few weeks and haven’t seen or heard anything, they can probably hear me puffing from a mile away.

They are roaring on the farm over the river from me.

I did a quick overnighter in Leithen Bush earlier in the week, up on the Block 2 and 3 tops.

There was a good number of hinds, fawns and yearlings out and about in the morning and evening, only 3 stags seen and they were young 6 and 8 pointers so I left them in peace... no roaring or any sign of mature stags yet.

The block is looking bloody good, lots of feed around and all the animals looked in great condition. Hope everyone has a safe and successful roar.

How’s the rest of you getting on?

Looks like it’s going to be an early one!

Just a heads up from over here, we are having a very early season. Flowers out a month before they should be. Ducks and other birds already paired up and nesting

So I’d guess that would mean the hinds might just circle early as well.

Good luck stay save and keep the reports coming in

Not much noise from the deer farm down the road, but my plum tree is flowering so it must be spring not autumn.
