What makes you say that , Have you hunted mangamarie saddle before ?

I hoping that 4 days in spring weather permitted will be enough time to see something surely !!

Yes, I have hunted the Mangamaire....great place...as many deer there as anywhere. 4 days in the spring is ample time, stay out of the hut, there are no deer in it. Take plenty of batteries for your torch and hunt till days end. Just hope you are not the next group after a spot lighter team have gone through.

legend mate, cheers.

We have the Mangamaire Saddle booked for 2016 roar, has anyone been there during the roar and if yes any success?

Had a quick read before I headed in. Helpful, a few comments. In second week of March. Short trip, only 2 full days thanks to Covid. North west from hut, over top of airstrip spur, great country up to and through the saddle. Easy, so probably gets hammered. Due west of hut, cross creek and climb easy spur onto top of ridge. Small saddle on ridge definately holds animals. 50 or so metres north west of hut a marked track sidles down into the bush. Didn't get time but would be worth a look. South west, big guts. Hunted the first to no avail but they looked great. Had been very dry. Neighbouring block at lower altitude did quite well. There's a little bit of venizon in the freezer, no complaints. Like to go back again for a longer look, late spring, early summer though.
