Well what a bloody fizzer., Clearly I got the timing completely wrong. The bush around Minginui was as quiet as a library. We got close on about 5 - 6 occasions and had one engaged in a bit of a stand off on the first day (much to Phillips excitement) but in essence for 5 days in the bush we heard zero roars and fired zero shots for a total of zero deer. It would be interesting to go back in a couple of weeks to see whether we were in there early or late (am working on the leave pass all ready).
The other fun thing was watching a fit young 19 year old trying to keep up with a geriatric going up hill with a Zimmer frame. Thanks for taking it easy on this old fellah Phillip.
Good one Rushy I'm heading down that neck of the woods for a couple of nights next week
Not late really, easter was early. But there going in the cni.

Definatly go back out in a few weeks Rushy
Last year they didn't fire up here until the second week of April. The stag I took was shot on the 11th of April as an example. So this year being just as warm, I'm going on the same theory and will be out next week for 7-10 days. I have been out locally most nights this week gone and not heard a thing ( Gisborne/Tolaga/Waipiro area)
Roared this fella in on Satruday. Seven years I've been after him. Sadly he's now well past his prime.

Keep water up to them tobes and they may grow ?
I had a couple roaring on the 24 march. Both came straight in but all had the wind in there favour un fortunatly.
Have been told that things have been quiet since.....
Rushy Minginui seems to take off on the 8th every year.Almost like clockwork.
Minginui seems to fire around about now onwards from previous years but with this warm weather I reakon it might be latter..Where were you camped up Rushy?
Sarcasm is not very becoming of you Rushy
