Thread: Pureora Bush Stags - 3 night Roar trip

Got away for 3 nights into the Pureoras chasing roaring stags a couple of weeks ago.
The plan was to head into an area I had hunted a little, back when I started hunting, but to push in further than I'd been before.
We pulled up to the carpark to find 8 other cars, which just about turned us around to come up with a 'Plan B'. Thankfully it turned out most of the vehicles belonged to a big party of guys at one campsite so we set off and headed into the bush towards some new territory.
We were heading in the general direction of our plan when we came across marked trees on a path to somewhere, so we decided to follow it and eventually ended up at an old shelter on a clearing.
It ended up being quite a cool area, with some nice bush in a lot of places and a lot of rubbish bush to push through too!
The stags made it pretty hard work, they weren't roaring much and they were quite shy, but I still managed to get a couple on the deck and we got in close to plenty more.
Rather than me ramble on about the nitty gritty details - here is a link to a a video I put together of the trip.
I've been lucky enough to get away into the bush for aprox 25 days this roar, so I'll post some more trip reports as I get time. Until then - I'm back off to the bush for the week!!
Thanks for watching!
