Thread: Akatarawa Forest

Any of the Welly hunters familiar with Akatarawa, I have some (offline) questions pls. Access routes, not specific spots.

Cheers, Eben

Yup - I've spent some unsuccessful time in there.
Feel free to pm!

tx mate, pm inbound !

Yep, been in there a bit.

Never seen any thing but goats.

Pretty wild some of it but there must be something in there other than goats

Good for a walk with the rifle on the weekend thats nice and close

Hi mate, i saw your post on Akatarawa forest from a while back and was just woundering if you had been in there since. Ive been in there a few times and seen some light deer sign but nothing to major??
Cheers Josh

Warning - she's a fat file so doubt this will work out on mobile

Send me a PM when you can. I used to hunt parts of it a few years ago, did ok in the right spots.
