    Mole Tops. The head of Watson Creek. You are more than welcome to come and have a look. Good luck getting a 4WD anywhere near it though.

    Saw/heard two wild stags roaring on the weekend...
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    waited for the rain afew weeks ago to pass then head out, headed out to a washed out access fuck, looked at the map ok 500km trip to the west coast and back to get in from behind.
    Got to the track took 1hr to walk 600m of the track years worth of snowfall trees across the track and because its a 15k walk to a campsite then another 15k to get to the spot i wanted
    to hunt pulled the pin on what was a spectacular week of weather for hunting high country. Headed onto google to see when access would be restored to the original spot well not open
    by 9th march now open by mid march so not the best start but still need a cold spell to get them fired up so not the worst news

    No roars heard yet but seen plenty of deer up high over last two weekends throughout Canterbury high country. Heading back in to a new spot tomorrow so will keep my ears open but really not expecting to get onto roaring stags for another 2 weeks yet. I'll just keep letting the bino's do the work for me

    No noise here as yet, hind wallows are in use and been getting used most of summer no real stag wallows been opened up yet.
    And stags don't seem to be with hinds yet.

    First game camera action. Couple of Nelson lakes trophies (also known as scrubbers).

    Can't tell from the photo but they are standing in a wallow.
