any stags starting to roar yet? I'm yet to hear one and by now i can normally here 3 or 4 havin a go at eachother, actually they started here on about the 20th of march last year.

Bit dissapointed i havnt heard anything but with it being so dry would that keep the quiet?

location lower north island, private land of course.

anyone heard any? have heard that some fallow are making noises..

Central North island fallow were quiet last weekend - stags were still away from the female.

Not much happening with reds either.

In South America the same. See my post in that Forum about my argentinian hunt. Very little roar early in the morning and nearly nothing in the evening. At night was another story, lots of roaring.

A bloke I work with went into the Cascade the week b4 Easter & saw only hinds & young, Stags all up high still & showing no interest in the ladies. So either to early or too dry for them to get going just yet.
Steve.

yeah i guess it could be the fact that its so hot and dry. hopefully this rain will do some good and get the grass to grow, still need a bit more yet! its gonna rain next weekend too. fingers crossed for a couple of inches of rain!

ah well thursday night ill find out if they are roaring going hunting till sunday so hopefully they make some noise
