Great video Steve! You mentioned that there was a low number of hinds in the area & the condition of the Stag you shot was extremely good. Shows promise for the future.
Well done mate. Cool to see them in that open bush. Missed a good stag at the tail end of the roar not far from the road. Bugger! Look forward to the winter hunting vid! Hard to find em in there in winter... Well hard for me anyway!
Thats a great video Steve! it really captured the roaring action and was very instructional! It was great to bump into you again this year too. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers for the vid Steve, always look forward to seeing how you got on. Hey when you mentioned at start of vid 5 stags to 1 hind and lack of roaring, i would've thought the opposite as more competition for that cycling hind meaning more roaring action. Would that not be the case?
Sika are known to roar more vigorously when a hind comes on heat, with the hind going off heat the roaring drops right off until another hind comes on, hence why one area has no roaring but travel to anther valley system & its going off,, why? "a hind is cycling" Over 35 years hunting & living with these deer you get a good pitcher of how it all works, Imagine a 5km square of land with one hind, what will your April roar be like? 3 days roaring action, 5 hinds great, 10 hinds & the place will go nuts all of April,
There's always been more 6s in that area for a long time so they get to breed with the hinds so influences the future, it needs a couple big dominate 8s to get in there,, but if there's none round the birth of 6s will continue to dominate,
Nah to cold but yeh i do at times but 98% of the time there not hatched as to cold & you no where the flies lay them, up in the rib cage etc we trim "dump" those parts any way..

Nice hunting skills mate, really nice head!
great video. Wonder if the stag with the strange antlers had damaged dingleberries, especially with the odd roar.
Awesome video. Cheers for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Been looking forward to your roar video. Awesome stuff!
Lovely looking country too.
Nice.Some serious bush craft and hunting know how on display there.
Great video Steve!

Awesome mate. Always look forward to you releasing more hunting footage. Cheers

nice work, patience and determination pays off
Thanks
great stuff, whats ya wee pully system?
Double pulleys makes easy work to get em hung up, it is more shown in one of my earlier videos,,
"Sika roar 2019" you see the pulley system in action,, cheers
Awesome vid. How many points on that shot stag? Cheers for your efforts. 🍻
A nice wee 8 it was,, having a go at getting into the hind may suggest the master stag could be similar antler wise,
Hey Steve, do you guys have a theory on why that area you mention mainly has 6’s? Curious to know why?
There's always been more 6s in that area for a long time so they get to breed with the hinds so influences the future, it needs a couple big dominate 8s to get in there,, but if there's none round the birth of 6s will continue to dominate,
Yea interesting, thanks Steve. Some of those big 6's can be very dominate/lethal too
Good stuff mate, no blowies got to your meat?
