A 46x46 dead even 18pt stag would likely break all kinds of wild deer, world records so I think this guy might be slightly confused as he was very ho hum about it. [emoji16]

Theres some tin,y buggers around all the same just saw a pic of really nice 14pt stag shot in an area I go to all iv ever really seen in the area is crap , this young fella rocks up new to hunting & blows over a cracker :omg:
I was out on Sunday defiantly less roaring spotted a young stag crossing a gully in a hurry , I gave a roar he came over & checked us out , then spied a better looking animal around a k away he was on the move as well defiantly on a mission waiting on the weather to clear to head back & see if we can find him to get a better look , heading home I spied a hind around 70M away she moved off then a big stag moved into view reg got ready to shoot but when he moved I could see his head it was munted at first glance I thought 1 beam had been snapped in half but turned out his antlers were disfigured he had a droopy ear as well , wondered if he,d been hit with some buck shot or something along the lines should have shot it but didn't incase there was something decent around , iv seen a stag with no antlers twice now both times I had no chance of a shot , they had better look out outside of the roar !
@Boaraxa droopy ears might be the sign of a broken pedicels he may have taken a fall, hit by a tree:O_O: our he's just hit the locals cash crops :cool::XD::thumbsup: in which case he will be meallow eatting:D
And a 364 DS up here but moments before the roar beganQuote:

Had 5 stags going today, one ran past me about 10 metres, quick rifle up n ready for when he came past next tree, the bastard read my mind and didn't come past the tree he gapped it behind the tree. Another close encounter with my son hanging back roaring while the old fulla sneaks in to 30 metres to find a wind change in the gully. It aint all beer n skittles. Still bloody good fun tho. :cool:
Awesome @BeeMan where in the country are ya?
sunny BOP
@JoshC how you getting on down there?
How's the last weekend treated you guys:) good bad ugly
Well no news from last weekend you buggers must have all been at the pub:thumbsup: how's this weekend looking? More pub our are you out of ammo and surrounded by horny goats:O_O:
How's the kaimai's? The forecast was for rain so didn't go. Bloody school holiday traffic didn't help either.

Went for a wander up Pureora yesterday. every bonnet hunting pig hunter had the same day off, very busy.
What exactly is a bonnet hunting pig hunter @tetawa ?
They drive along the roads with the dogs on the Bonnet or tray and when the dogs smell fresh pig they wiggle their butts and they slow down. Dogs jump off and go to work. Hunters follow with the sticker.Quote:

OK cheers gues now I know.
I asked in a different thread one guy said he saw one hind. Between that and the school hol traffic I feel alot better about the fact I can't get any time off work.Quote:

Where i hunt its all over for the reds last week, you might get the odd one roar at night. Already seen stags out feeding alone trying to recover from one hell of a party,. Was going to go out last night but was blowing its ass off and woke up this morning to rain.
Have they shut up in the Ruahines?
I've been doing other things waiting for the roar to finish so I can have the hills to myself again. Have second week of May off so will go and get stuck in up there while all the fullas are shooting each other in their mai mai.
So many of us are avoiding the roar and waiting for May before going bush, it might be more crowded in there than during the roar. :(
Probably as crowded as Feb was in the hills :DQuote:

Side note - On the way out on Sunday arvo we passed three chaps with a dog. They were heading back in up the Hinemaia to look for a young fulla who hadn't made it back to camp Saturday night. Anyone on here have an update or know what happened?
So the roar must be almost over for the reds and Sika. Fallow might still be on in some parts.
But what if you miss out on and think hey you will keep for next year....our defiantly coming back for you.....
Recon is an all year project good to hear a few more yarns of the ones that got away.:thumbsup:
In my neck of the woods Roe buck are fighting fit with a lot being moved about. Just a lot of small stuf on my ground at the moment still waiting on bigger animals to move in.
