    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
    Now its got to be one of two things either there rather a long way off......or you have the shakes so bad

    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.

    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.

    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

    A few days into a hunt now. Get reception when at the top of a big hill
    Heard a few half hearted roars. Seen a lot of deer but struggled to find any stags. When I did find some they were all in a a small area together. Seen a cracker that I hope to find again.
