Thread: Planning first ever roar hunt

During my limited roar experience, I find deer and woman are two of the same. There are no hard and fast rules to how they think. They do what they do when they want. Just when you think you have got them sussed, they will surprise you by throwing a curve ball from left field. Never let your guard down especially when you stop to rest. That cracking sound you hear may well be one trying to sneak behind your back.
When hunting with a mate, you can take turns on the lead and you feel good about it

Couple of roars back I saw a deer from 10m silently walking towards us. Never replied to our roaring the whole time we were on the ridge.. Looked at mate and he hadn't seen it I peered around the tree and he was standing 3m away looking straight at me. Don't know who got the biggest fright. As he bolted I took a snap shot and dropped him. Although lucky on this occasion, I should not have fired and risked an injured deer.

I am sure a lot of us have had adrenaline filled moments and are all special in their own ways.
I am still an amateur hunter by many standards however like everyone on this and other forums have the same thing in common, the love for the outdoors. My problem is not getting out enough

Square1 - When you come out of the bush from your roar, analyze what you have done. Success and failure are the base to work on for the next trip. What looks good on the map is seldom what you envision when you get there so prepare for change. Having a general idea then following you nose can be quite productive.


The gear you take for 1 week is the same as you would take for 2 nights. Food is the only varible
