Thread: Whats everyone doing for the roar?

I put in an app for the Haast ballot for the first time in yrs because my usual spot I shared with a good mate for as long as I can remember, is getting the green rain with pre-feed. It is likely to bugger it up for a few yrs.
I actually got the block I wanted for the first period and my cobber got one he applied for, that peaked his interest when he found a huge 300+ stag that was killed by another last year.
So we are going it solo for the first week as the blocks we have, do not hold many animals and can be covered pretty well by one person. We are then meeting up for a trip into a nice spot in Fiordiland we have been told about, by a another mate that knows the area and its potential in detail. He is supposed to be coming but I have a feeling he will be way too tired, eh Greyghost?
All I know is if I am lucky enough too fire a shot this year in my ballot block, it will be a 300+ staggy I have seen and hope is still there, or an 11" buck cham
Whats everyone else up too?

Hope everyone plays it safe and has a good one.

Yea all but one of my spots have been rained on..... Gonna drive up the south west coast for a week... cant wait!

I will be in the central NI bush for at least a week. The last two years have been stuffed up so next year it is all on.

If your just after any old staggy on the coast and want to hunt good bush flick me a pm. I know plenty of handy spots that will keep you busy. They dont usually get into it till around the 7th as they are coastal deer. Always tons of fun but.

Roaring in and Shooting my first red stag! and if i play it right maybe a Sika aswell.And ill be bivi'ing it in the scrub.

I would take ya in with me Jas but I doubt there will be much action in the way of vocal stags. If ya have no luck which I doubt. Youll get one for sure, this year, I will sort you out for next year easy.

Yep i appreciate that Dave.My goal is due to missing last years due to a severe wanking staff infection that ill be going in solo to test all i have learnt so far . As youve posted up this thread it means everyone must be thinking about it as ive been thinking about it almost everyday since june...ish I wouldnt say it consumes me but its sometimes bumps daydreaming porn episodes out of my headso its sereeus.

Mate you have to see some of the women running around my worksite. You will forget about any porn and wander off in a dream of roaring stags in a hurry. I rekon if ya roared here you would get a few of these beasts come in for a look One or 2 exceptions though.

WOW IT MUST BE SERIOUS........

you know it mate!.Yea Dave those aussie chick minors have bigger plums than there aussie male counterpart's ive heard but nah i cant wait im gonna start my recce's asap!

Smashing a few other stags will most likely keep that big boy quiet and elusive.

head north mid march, back before april, have no plans what so ever for april though
