    Maybe if you had taken one of your pointers he/she could have pointed it out for you pointer (sorry mate could not resist that at all)

    Disappointing roar hunt yesterday. No wallows really being used, no noise and not much sign in a good stag area. Did track down two deer, two large mature hinds sneaking out the next gut.
    Had the 243 lined up on the back one, easy shot, finger on the trigger and the weight started to come on.
    Voice inside my head kept telling me do you really want shoot it? Mmm...no i dont, thought maybe there could be a stag with them and as they were mature animals decided in the last second to let them be. Appeared no stag with them and the game cam had no pictures at all of animals at a popular wallow so that sucked. Wasps seemed to be high as well but no stings. Go again tues and see whats around. prob take a meat animal if no stag action if im lucky and see something. Recken its going to be april this year.
    Farm stags were roaring but werent last week and they generally start up 3 weeks before the wild ones here so we see.

    Spoke to the owner of the place i hunt near Murch, He said his paddock stags have not yet started and nothing yet from the bush near the property either. Might take the dog for a wander next weekend for a look but worried about wasp numbers

    Yeah, must be a late roar. Wasps have generally been low Mikee compared to other years but yesterday they were out in force and aggressive,. Pengy is out in the bush in one of the areas i go today and his dog been stung and wasps everywhere, think hes hign tailing it out lol. I go again tues and see if i can actually bring home the venison this time, seen 5 deer in the last two trips, prob time i shot one lol
