How did you get on for the weekend?
Went for a morning hunt didn't see a lot only 1 hind & fawn not a lot of sign about either ,it had been a perfect morning really warm northerly , I also remembered to take my trail cam so I set it up on a game trail & decided I would do some exploring even though the wind was at my back I just wandered along pushing through manuka & passing through clearings I hadn't gone far & the sign started to improve came across this new wallow by the looks of it it hadn't had much if any rain on it , was kicking my self for not taking my other trailcams there was a perfect tree 6 meters away to set it up.

But I was not - two Stags growling at each other at 4.45am this morning - only did it 3 times over 15 mins
Accross the Bay from my blocks.
Watched 11 Deer with thermal from 4.30am - 7.30am - 2 Stags I were watching never took any notice of their Southern Bay neighbors tiff
Yep, short roars & grunts at first light in the Ruahines on Thursday, 1-2 weeks earlier than I expected.
Good stuff guys
Thought they might start early this year double moons and all:cool:
Anyone have any luck this weekend?

I went and checked out an old spot....left a promising stag in 2014 and 2015 but work and boats got in the way 2016 2017 and this year there is almost no sign at all where as in the past scree was always covered in prints......maybe time to take up bush stalking again....
I'm going cray hunting ...they are grouping up already ....Well so my source tells me !! That and the last chance snappers...oh and pardon the interruption !
And how many fences did you need to go through for your near miss @R93:XD:Quote:

Any luck this weekend guys? Bloody snowing here have 10/15cm so far and no sign of stopping :wtfsmilie:
Had a bit of a look this afternoon seen a couple stags,the older stag was chasing his hinds around and sure he had a couple of moans. Weather wasn't the best shit easterly and hard to hear. A lot of stag wallows getting used and started to get cooler in the mornings this week. Another ten days and they will be into it:thumbsup:
Next weekend then here we go!
OK. Got out for a look tonight wind still blowing from the east:pissed off: got on to a couple of stags went to close the gap and the wind got me. Only pushed them up the gully further so didn't really spook them to much. Plenty of roars heard. Made my way back up to the main ridge and got in to a roaring match with a stag on the opposite face but wouldn't come out into any of the clearings. Still letting out the old roar when i was making my way home:)
A week early in this area but its been a excellent season with plenty of grass and hinds seem to be fat as.
Fuck a stag get a fat hind, least they not all pissed and jizzed up :thumbsup:Quote:

Shit @Dawg he looks nice and even:thumbsup:
I posted this stag we got on the camera's under trail camera pics, I thought I would post it here for you Sideshow.Attachment 84978 15 points with the malformed top of antler, interesting stag. Have heard a few moans over the last couple of weekends so maybe if weather is Ok there might be a few more starting Easter weekend.
Thanks @Mooseman year that is an interesting antler. Is he hurt?
Possibly, last year Beeman and his son were just about run over by a stag while having a cup a tea. Beeman's son managed a snap shot as it run past the vehicle but only nicked and the next day the trail camera's picked a stag with blood trickling down it's side. It was walking fine ( no limp) and was about 3-4 Kms from where he shot it so we figured it was OK.
This stag is close to the area where they shot and lost the other, most likely the say one and may be the reason he has the deformity.
Just back from a trip, bloody windy time, the odd moan & roar, only found one wallow that had been touched up, got this old 9 pointer bush stalking yesterday, he was mud fat & not a hint of being pissed up, etc
