Is that a subtle hint Aaron?

Nothing planed yet. Would like to get up the lake with the old man. Missed out last roar due to having to choose that or thar trip.
He won't be doin it much longer so better make the most of it.
He usually goes pretty late so could do a trip somewhere else first but need to see how much time i can get off.

Nah it wont hes pretty aggressive , probley turn out to be a shitter , have shot other stags right below him , and still listened to him taunt me for another 5 days.

Will do a local trip then a week down south.

This will be my first Roar in over 3 years (Due to travelling overseas, moving jobs, getting married) so I haved booked myself an extended easter weekend with my brother in Marlborough at one of my old haunts. Should be an epic trip, it will be his first roar so he is pumped!

Already looking at maps, discussing tactics and trying to get some half decent level of fitness up to tackle those big hills.

Now if I could only finish the load development for my 7mm RM...

Will have a few private blocks to visit for a bit of fun, cruisey day hunts, and have a Haast Block.

Ureweras
It was quiet in there 2nd week of April last roar though shot a stag that I never heard till it bolted from 3m and it showed no sign of been ready to mate .We were in Fiordland last year and it was quiet in the Urewearas the year before that.
Looking at going mid April and see if they are getting vocal then

Living out of a hut on the old mans property and hunting every morning before work.
Nothing makes you feel more alive than chasing a red stags roar echoing through the mountains!

hunting the whitecombe first then move further north then smash my easy spots for the last few days I"ll have off! Hoping to get a young guy onto a few and get some good video this year.

sitting at work wishing I didn't have to save my annual leave for a trip to Europe in 2013
