I have a feeling this year you will get a beast!!!!

Kaimai's Sunday evening deep in the supple jack I had one replying to my roars so they have started

Heard a couple of moans in the dark and rain on Wednesday night on my walk out of from the haurangis. Can’t be far off.

Heard a few in the foothills west of Christchurch last night after dark, but only really moaning. One reasonably close but he shut up when I moaned back at him.

Couple of stags heard in local areas i hear, off tomorrow to see if can find one

The boys have been a bit more vocal today. I was thinking of going bush for a look tomorrow but think I'll wait until we have had some rain.

@Sauer I may need to go for a wander in them there hills next week.

heard a couple of moans last night

Looks like it’s close good luck guys and girls be safe and have a good time

Stags are all go. Went today, had one going good for quite awhile. 30 mins of cat and mouse roared him in and sht a nice 8 pointer for around here,
Its on!! Story about to be posted

Been in the Raukumaras for the last week. Zero roars heard.

They have started at my place

just returned from a couple of days up behind Rangi hut in Ruahines, plenty of deer seen, mostly hinds and yearlings but managed to get within 50 yards of an 8pt stag probably 3 or 4 years old , he seemed to be still in summer mode, no sign of a mane or swollen neck, and only interested in filling his belly, so i expect the roar is a few weeks away around here which is about normal .
