Plenty of stags roaring up the Rokai valley Friday and Saturday in perfect weather. Shot a nice fat hind but was just too slow to drop her yearling as well on Saturday morning. We were shattered Saturday arvo so went to the pub to 'recover', which was silly cos the weather turned to crap and the stags shut up and moved away from the wind.
I got a good stag angry and wound up on Sunday morning, while cold and soaked to the bone, but think I pushed him too hard and as closing in for the kill at 60m he suddenly roared from 200m then went quiet and the game was over without me seeing his antlers. Gutted!
Between three of us we took two hinds and saw eight, but heard about twelve stags roaring. Good fun trip and I'll go back to the Ruahines anytime
