	Well thought id get the ball rolling with a short video of a quick roar trip i did earlier in the week. The hunt was planned into a spot id previously scouted the year before but didn't see any stags then. It definitely had potential though so when a mild cold snap came through it was all go to have a look........ Apologies for the swearing. Might have to turn the volume up to hear as well... (Pretty recognisable spot so many will know where it is, please don't mention it on here but PM me if you want) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwQBYAnPzJw After roaring in a nice stag a shot was taken and it looked like a good hit. Unfortunately after tracking it the blood trail faded away and 3 hours of searching failed to locate him. Absolutely gutted but ill be back to hopefully find him, and maybe roar in a few of his mates and post up a proper roar report! . . . . . . . . . . . Update* Went back in and took two mates with me who are new to hunting. Nothing was really roaring but i told them the trip was mainly to find the stag i already shot. They had a great time anyway (i think) letting out a few roars, checking out all the tree scrapings and wallows. After hunting into where i shot the stag we had a sniff around (literally) and sure enough we could smell a decomposing animal upwind somewhere. A short walk following the smell and we found him! Tucked up under a bit of fern in a small dip. GPS showed i had walked past him by 5 meters and not seen it on the day it was shot. Bloody stoked to have found him as it was giving me a bit of grief having lost him. Not the biggest but a memorable hunt that will stay with me and my first South Island stag Cheers wac

	Good effort,, I think that one puts you firmly as a contender in the disappointed category..

	great effort to go back and find him, the trophy will have meaning and a story to tell when others have faded.
