    Hunting the Mamaku's

    Who else on here is hunting the Mamaku's (SH5 area)
    think I heard more human roaring in there yesterday morning than I did actual stags
    A bit unnerving at times but that's a public land issue at this time of year I guess.

    I was thinking of having a look there this weekend but from what you've said I may give it a miss for a month or so.

    It doesn't matter whether it is private land or public land there will be hunters (poachers) on it, just at this time of year the hunter/poacher will be vocal letting everyone know of their presence.

    I know that it doesnt scare stags as have done it often enough and had conversation continue with stag...have also had humans reply in kind.... sort of a long range sound off resulting in both parties heading off in different directions chuckling. not a nice feeling when someone else comes in on your roars.

    Even worse is when that 'stag' out to your left/right discharges a firearm at the stag you are both sneaking up on.

    Dangle off comparison should settle the debate

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
