Hi people my usual hunting spot in Dannevirke has been sold and im not allowed to rock up there any more... anyone got any tame farmers that let you rock up on there land around here? Please any suggestions would be great dieing to go for a walk soon!!
I expect that you will get an answer to this fairly quickly JRSWRX. There are a couple of active forum members in the area you are interested in. Both are legend!
A better tactic would be to go door knocking and approach the farmers yourself, you are going to have to meet them anyway, and you gain more credibility/responsibility in their eyes if you have the maturity to approach them first.Quote:

Dannevirke has some of the best DOc access and hunting that I know of.
1) Drive to a Ruahine DOC car park at the end of the road
2) walk up the creek for 1.5 hours
3) Turn right (or left) at the base of a decent ridge or spur.
4) Climb for 30 minutes.
5) Sit and glass across the gully below you.
6) Walk another 15 mins uphill (sorry its uphill)
7) Repeat
8) Hit the main east/west ridge.
9) Up hill again following the main ridge until you find a spur to go back down again (heading for the creek you climbed out of originally)
10) Repeat the stopping and glassing
11) When you hit the creek, go down stream. This will take you back to the car park
12) You may, or may not, be carrying a deer.
13) This routine does not involve tame (or wild) farmers.
Take my advice and leave the the farmers alone.to come to Dannevirke you drive past the Tararuas!!!! whats wrong with that place?.And if you "have" to come here then do what we all do here and drive ten minutes to the hills and hunt them.Quote:

I am only just starting to find some good hang out places for deer. I am not sure what point i am trying to make, but i think it is get out and do the hard yards yourself. Its part of the fun.Quote:

Talking about rogue goats, the are some goats in the bush right next to the frigging SH2 in Welly, they are driving me nuts ! No way on earth you will get away with shooting them, they are going to make me take up bow hunting :D

I am related to some of them farmers from down that way my grandmother was bought up in dannevirke on a dairy farm which I had an opportunity to see when I went there for a family reunion many years back, heck even the old water wheel that used to run the cowshed was still intact.Quote:

Do it ebf. Twang bleat splutter ..... curryQuote:
