Thread: when do the stags head up on tops

so last year around the 11th when we flew out of one of the valleys wer were in, we spotted heaps of wallows freshly used up on the tussock tops.

my Question,

when do stags start wallowing up on the open tops ? Mainly reds, but additionally when do sika stags start doing this also obviously with scraps pads though.

Were due to fly into the tararuas on the 7-th 11th, but this may be thwarted due to weather, so im looking at second options into the kawekas also.

ive only ever hunted stags into the bush during the roar, but the option for reds is up on the open tussock tops / bushline, and the options for the kawekas are down in the basin with tussock, or up in the actual tussock tops.

Is it better to stay bush as im mainly a long range hunter, or does it not really matter ?
