What is the Roar?
Roar hunting is a popular hunting activity in New Zealand that takes place during the rutting season, also known as the roar.
This is a period when male red deer, the most hunted species, produce a loud and distinctive roar to attract females. The roar hunting season typically starts in late March and ends in late April.
