Well, I had a coupla weeks off so into my usual ruahine spot I went, the 1st week was 27th march-6th april, the stags were roaring but we couldn,t get them cranked & a few sattelite stags snuck in for a look, weather was fine & warm. the 2nd week it rained a fair bit, but was still warm & we had vocal stags but hard to get onto again. I spent a day in the kawekas & roared in a sika spiker-had long spikes could,ve grown into a good stag, he,s been turned into good steaks & mince & patties instead :) went back a few days later & pulled out gamecams, some good stags on there that we missed out on, Think the weather has played a major card in this years roar, first roar that I haven,t dropped a stag in 20 years hunting.Attachment 23610thats the sika spikerAttachment 23611& a 400yd magpie I took with the 223Attachment 23612A fine break between showersAttachment 23613a cheeky morepork
