With autumn upon us the weather is cooling off, and deer hunters will be heading into the bush for the Roar. Late March and April, is the Roar or rutting season for the most common deer species in NZ. This pre-occupation with mating leads the stags to become vocal and makes them vulnerable to hunters. The extra activity in the outdoors, and the excitement this time of year brings for hunters, can make them vulnerable too.
