Cheers mate. Good to hear that, my dad's hunted there quite a bit but hasn't been in for 15 or so years and is going to take me in next week.

I reckon the roar is going to be shit this year. Since when is Taupo forcasted for 12-15 overnight temps in April? lol!

Read the forums mate

Southern Tararuas have been roaring last two nights at least

Just spent 4 days in and around cattle creek. Lots of deer roaring alot closer than usual. brilliant weather. To many options , should have spent more time chasing one and not all of them. Few well churned up wallows. Lots of people around and quite a few gun shots. Had one Moaning just up above where Brads photo of the vehicles is , no more than 200meters from the roadend.

Just spent a week in the upper Rakaia area. Too warm. Hinds and yearlings still together. Stags were only establishing territories, and the odd moan. We had only one evening of roars and got two excited about us but only that one out of 9 days.
It's going to be late up there - we need the cold! I slept on the tops out of my sleeping bag as I was too warm.

similiar experience up lewis pass. Had one moaning for about an hour this morning, hinds and yearlings out but no stags in sight.
Wallows havent been used in anger, just a bit of splashing about but not in the last few days.
