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

HCB,

Nice animals, they look very promising and good to see on public lands. That's got to get you wanting to go back every time you arrive home!

Couple more public land big boys I’ve run into in the past couple weeks
Quality of pictures is a good indicator as to why I haven’t caught up with them

Thanks mate, the one with velvet is in a ballot block and I don’t have time to get back so see how he goes, and the other one I might not get back either before he retreats to the bush and he was certainly not where I’d go chasing stags so maybe both bigger next year stags

lets hope they pass on thier genes if they havent already done so...

We heard a roar yesterday, south-eastern Ruahines, very early, but it always seems to kick off quite early there - will be underway properly in a couple of weeks. It's dry up there. Wallows are all dry.

Horrible photo I know... Used phone e to take photo on sx50 from trail cam card.....

Nice buck be good to run into him during the rut.

Yep, still need a week or two by the looks of the tines

this guy needs another year or two

More likely to get a bullet or two with all the trophy velvet hunters out there nowadays. Would be great to see grow out and be taken in natural antler. Very nice pic indeed.

@Hunteast thats true, an sort of sad to see the Race now in new zealand, an of course by race, i mean Race to Upload on Youtube!

Absolute nothing better than Hard Natural Antler

Likely he will be shot before his prime, in an area which gets a lot of pressure, he is safe on one side of the road.... Plenty of others animals around if folks are meat hunting
