This will be my first roar ever,have been offered to go back to oamaru private for a week end of march,I must say I'm getting excited all ready,doing as much research as I can but I think if watched/read all on the net about sika in the roar:ORLY:any of you pros got any tips for a greenhorn?:-) also who's going after sika this roar?I'm thinking of buying an AJ caller as I probly sound like a dying cat instead of a stag haha
Also should I be going high on tops or laying low in the scrub?
ive shot hundreds of thousands of sika. just get out there son. you cant get them from the couch
It dosent realy matter how bad your roar is... With in reason.
If they are gonna come in they will just do it.
My best advice is. If you roar. Wait for atleast 10 mins cause they just seem ti sneek in without replying!
Are they all over the place during the roar or mainly tops or what?thinking of fly camping in deep up high for a night or two
100's of 1000s jhunt?
Mate, use your own lungs, cant be any worse than those pathetic callers I've heard. I don't have a vast knowledge of hunting them but I think in March a lot will be still moving around looking for girls using locater roars which sound a bit different. the bigger boys probably wont come into calls until they have girls and think you're a threat to em.
its hunting though, anything can happen, just get out there and experience it
Cheers mate think I'll save my coin and just use a powerade bottle haha lighter and cheaper!! Yea not too sure of the dates yet thinking late march but will be confirmed end of this month,first and only time on the block and found it nice and easy to get around so will head in deep and find a nice look out to camp on and hope for the best,will be my first time fly camping solo so should be interesting
you'll love it mate, don't stress if you don't see anything, just enjoy it and the rest will eventually fall into place
Still have a lot to learn mate haha still need to buy a fly first:-) and then sleeping bag and all the rest hahaha
I think I'll miss you mate, I'll be hunting sometime between 14-26th of April
if only you were a little closer I'd be happy to take you out and teach you some things. Don't worry mate we're all still learning. Just buy your gear gradually, you'll never have enough though, I'm always wanting something new!
All good phillipgr I'll try save you sum;) haha
Cheers for the offer mate I don't know many people in the waikato I'm an east coast lad,and yea I know what you mean I could spend alota coin in h&f even walking around window shopping I can spend hours in there hahaha
Ha, I'm loving your location at the momentQuote:

Won't normally catch them out in the open during the roar but there is always an exception normally in the bush or scrub during the roar mate and out in the open around now getting the good feed to grow that big eight :thumbsup:Quote:
