Thread: Roaring Reds

Hey guys, random question.

How longs do red stags roar for? (1 week, 2 weeks, whole month?)
Im trying to figure out when's the best time of the roar to do what.
Theres lots of info about what things stags do before and during the roar
But i haven't been able to find anything about how long they roar for.

Any help?
RR

Really?
Mate they will roar while the hinds are cycling. Once all the girls have a shag the boys go to sleep.
And I don't no where you are In the country but you should be going......

I think its about a month dude (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But like BRADS alludes to, it all depends on the hinds which depends on a lot of different things (feed, temp. etc etc).

Question of my own: do sika and fallow roar for about the same amount of time as Reds? I know they rut a bit later, but is it for a month or so too?

Get out there now mate!!!!.

I'm pretty sure it's got a lot to do with deer numbers too I've found . High numbers of deer the roar is longer .

Lets take a moment of silence for our man 7mmwsm. Everyday must be a struggle when you're followed by PMS.

The pheromone effect eh? Wonder if it comes in a spray? There's a thought, Le Pher-Her-Mona.

It's a theory, but the best roar I ever had started 24 MArch.

I think it has a lot to do with deer numbers.

They are still going on my place and it has been over six weeks now.

I agree with that Munsey. They are nuts and some just seem to go on and on for no reason well after the others have stopped.

Nothing to do really with deer numbers I believe, it's just where there are more deer numbers there is more hinds cycling for longer.
Which why these paddock stags roar for three months

do you mean how long does the roar go for or how long will an individual stag roar?

Both but more 'How long does the "Roar" last for?'
I ask as i went hunting 2 weeks ago with my cow horn and rifle and got half a dozen stags replying to me (more long moans with a cough or 2), with one charging in.
Then i went out to the same place on Saturday and all i got was 1 roar (Deep growl of a roar) but nothing else was interested.
i'm just wondering why?
