Yeah! You used be able to stand a shade outside a 100 yrds and tease him. Now hes got a .303 it could be a bit of a worry. I still reckon his brothers head will get in the way, preventing any sort of accuracy

Yep that could be a go. If the weather is looking OK I will be taking my wife and youngest down to Minginui in a few days time. We will set up camp at the DoC camp at Mangamate.

Rushy If you get a chance and head for a walk that way can you PM me a pic of the Lagoon?

hunt public land. i do. as the others said, take care, wear your blaze always, check out the car parks, and i would suggest stay home easter weekend. most of it is common sence. keep away from popular areas if you can. hunt mid week if you are able, less people.

Another hint for you is to make a sign and nail it to a tree at the access point of how many are in your party and what area you will be covering. This often puts people off hunting the same place. another trick is to make your roar sound shit... if the stag is comin in it wont matter what it sounds like,
I have got stags to come in making monkey noises cause i wasnt sure!

Around the 7th. Had surgery, got one removed, very little scaring. Just have to learn to stop stabbing myself with cutlery.

This roar thing. I take it that this is more for trophies than meat?

Yes and no, for most(well me anyway) it is the thrill of an adrenalin fueled stag charging in to sort out the intruder.
Some stags can be excellent eating in the roar(if early in the roar) while others are only fit for salami's
Stags are after hinds so if your after meat they wont be far away.

That's a good idea mucko, if it works out with dates lets do that.

Sure if I get there on a walk.

Far to dangours to hunt, stay at home in front of the computer and you'll be fine
