Thread: Strange Roar Behaviours.... Global warming??...LOL

Morning All,

Now this week I experienced something that I have never heard of or witnessed before. And it made me wonder what other strange occurrences others have seen.

So I was way up in the back blocks of Wanganui in the middle of last week. Now in the afternoon while glassing for deer I had a double take as I heard a Red Roar a couple of valleys over from where I was. Then another...Then another. And soon the whole valley was alive with roaring red stags. And they all went full noise right into the evening. I have not heard so much roaring in a long long time. Now You always hear of the odd story of a roar being hear outside of the normal April period.. But a whole valley going off in June?? Weird!

And I know it is not uncommon to hear Sika roar outside of April, I have been going into the same block in the Kawekas for three years in a row towards the end of April. Now on each of these trips I have seen hinds feeding little fawns at the udder. So while lactating none of those hinds will be cycling for quite a while. And I have witnessed this on all of the trips. So not a one off. The fawns looked like they were a month or two from getting kicked out, then says a few more weeks before the hinds cycle. Then there could be more roaring happening in June or July.

Is global warming causing the roar to get later and later?.........
