Book your spot for Roar 2025

"The Roar" refers to the peak of the red deer mating season. It's a highly anticipated time for hunters. During this period, which usually occurs in March and April, red deer stags become more vocal and active as they compete for mates. They emit deep, resonant roars as part of their mating ritual, making it easier for hunters to locate and track them. The increased activity and noise make it a prime time for hunting these deer. Many hunters plan their expeditions around this season for better chances of success.

Open for 2025 Roar bookings 24th March to 9th May.
*Prices vary from normal.
