Thread: Advice on where to go...

We've all got to start somewhere mate. There are plenty of deer in the Ruahines and you don't have to walk for hours to find them, although generally if you can get away from all the other buggers you will do better imho. Also lots of good huts, again without a massive amount of walking. The country is fairly steep and often a prick with supplejack down low and leatherwood up high and can be a prick to get around if you end up bush bashing.

If I was you I would have a look at the WAMS website https://www.wams.org.nz/wams_desktop/index.html and read the doc where to hunt section Hunting: Things to do. Pick a good looking spot and study the maps/google earth.

If you are stuck for ideas or want a bit of inside knowledge on a spot you like the look of then send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help out. If you know dates you'll be up here and want someone to hunt with then let me know and I'll try pencil it in the diary - the more notice the better.
