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

Picked up reloads yesterday.
Poke some holes in paper on Saturday then into it the following weekend.
No chance of a recon so hope we get it right

Remember this one

Used it on 3 deer this roar and a few others over the year
Can’t fault it at all. Wish it got a bit more use

@JoshC nice article you wrote in Rod & Rifle vol 40 enjoyed that one!

How’s the Fallow bucks going and Whitetail must be warming up now?

Ok so yep its the ROARING 20s hows it going with looking up those spots from last year and seeing if you can sneak in a pre roar hunt and plan an attack starting now.
I have seen at lest one post on here referring to a pre roar hunt so don't even try to say that its toooooo sooon!

Anyway good luck and looking forward to a few posts and story's

That's what you want @Strummer. What a cracking head that will be Edunn. I agree he needs another two or better three years. Comparing to farm deer I would put him at four years old. What were his lower tynes like for length and placement ? Interested to have @R93 's thoughts

Brows were good, bez tines were little, trez tines were delightful.

My guesstimate from a cool 600m with a telephoto lens but no spotting scope was 5y/o. I'll be trying my best to watch him closely over the next couple of years in the hope that no one else shoots him before he's ready.

Hard to make an accurate assesment from that pic for me but he appears to have everything going on, nice looking animal. Good work Edunn
Its bloody good to see pics of promising animals being left to mature by hunters on this forum.
Hope you catch up to him again when he is at his full potential mate.

So do I mate!
Here's another one that I'm saving for 2024-ish.

Bloody hell hope he makes it.......what neck of the woods are you in again? Might just have to visit it in 2024

The big 17 point through back red we got on camera over the last three years has turned up again on camera, looking at his head this year he has improved well, it seems a lot of the small points have gone and he has 8 on one side and 6 on the other. We think he is around 6 years old but could be older.

Got a photo @Mooseman please
