So I was not hearing things :-)

Think all Deer here have gone into lock down too
Never before have I gone 3 days & nights without an animal in one of my 5 GPS Trail Cams
Not a squeak as yet either which is a 1st in 25 years too - always 24th onward spasmodic moaning/roaring

Lol I'm back at home now but have the luxury of hunting at work. I've probably seen 70 animals in the last week. Saw a life time red stag and fucked it up. Saw 2 fallow bucks that would have been 170+ ds easily. I missed 3 easy meat animals for fuck sake havnt missed that many deer in the last 5 years. The other lads got an animal each for the freezer not big stags taken but they are roaring their tits off all fucken day.

I prob just did same on Best Place to Live Thread :-(

Face palm guys face palm

The farmed deer down the road have started roaring again in the last few days, even going for it right now.
I have to work out if it’s one stag making all the noise, or if others have joined in. It’s not the first time I have heard them roaring mid-late winter.

Yeah that happens.. Generally in farmed deer it is a single animal rather than multiple animals that do it.

Yeah we still have the odd one doing a moan. Think we cut a stag for velvet two weeks ago....

Well after last years fiasco let’s hope this year is better I see Ryan has sharpened his spear
For the rest of you there must be a few out there that where good last year that will be rippers this..let’s see how your getting on

No bites?
Thought you guys would be out in the hills looking for Mr Big?

Il be checking out a spot in the Catlins this week. happy for a mrs small and tasty but a mr big and smelly would be awesome too.

@JessicaChen let us know how you get on. With spring coming here the muntjac are starting to move I saw a few yesterday heading into the woods to start on the bluebells. Funny the intestines turn blue when eating them. As the mate all year round you can call em in almost any time. Hard to skin but good eating.

Yep I will report back on my findings. It is an area that isn't very popular, not sure why, but it is restricted land so no other hunters are (legally) allowed to go in when im there which is great. Few years ago found a big wallow and scrapings in that area but never revisited since.
Got a spot called black gully, blue mountains in the middle of April which is exciting, but cant do any recon there unfortunately.

Muntjac are funny looking things, the skulls with fangs are awesome.

Yeah you don’t want your dog to corner one as they will give them a good ripping if the dog has no clue and the deer has one!
You also don’t want to hit one in the car, low to the ground and will make a good mess of you front bumper!
Have a crossing place up the road from me. Last count was 12 bumpers on the side of the road need to take a photo of that and stick it in the crash vehicle site lol
