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

Nice @Smiddy good looking group there. Might be those flats get spot lighted?

Anyone getting out for a look this weekend?

Not long got back from the hill this morning. Stinking hot up there. Several hinds seen but no stags yet.

Went out last night and seen couple of spikers and a young fat 6pt very tempting to fill the freezer. Southerly change made it nice hunting but wind was blowing right up my ar@#. Seen a couple of new wallows but that will be hinds etc cause of the heat for the last week. Still couple days left this weekend

Still in velvet in Wellington, a couple of stags floating around and interestingly hanging around with the hinds already.

Bit of activity in wallows too with this heat.

Nice looking stag there @Dawg the top one you recon you can get a better look at em

@Sideshow yeah i am hoping so, will go check the camera again in next few days - Will report back if i get a better shot of him. Saw the younger stag first light on saturday and he was a big bodied bugger so can only imagine what the other one is like!

seen a couple red stags last night. still no signs of stripping. Wind picked up so decided to head home with my young fella when i spotted a light colour animal down the gully on a clearing. Quickly closed the gap to get a better look and on closer inspection it was a fallow buck and it walk in behind a strub bush. While waiting with no patients looked down the fence line and a fallow spiker was standing there ready to jump though the broken fence. Freezer got the better of me Dont get alot of fallow on this property so will enjoy.

How the rest of you fallas get on over the weekend?

@Sarvo can you explain the difference in the lettering between the old Pulsar thermal monoculars and the new models. Wanted to get one and had it all lined up then tax bill got in the road.
The letters have me stuffed I’ve read as much as I can. The numbers I understand
It would be used only for bush stalking.

Not exactly sure what you meaning by " explain the difference in the lettering between the old Pulsar thermal monocular ???
They are different models
Helion XQ and Helion XP are the latest handhelds the XP has double the resolution so gives more clarity and definitions
The XP is more expensive and some say you better to buy a Helion XQ50 instead of a Helion XP38 - range identification is the same - but a 50 is better than a 38 (like scopes bigger aperture so more light/FV etc)

Cheers that's helped

Any chance you can leave him for a couple years @Dawg our do you need to fill the freezer? @Bonecrusher how's the recon going up your end?

Yeah that would be my preference @Sideshow, will have a better look at him then make a call. Only issue is the area gets hammered by pig dogs (some of them intentionally after deer) so slightly nervous about that too.

Cheers,
Dawg
