Anyone for a hunt?

I've recently moved back north from Southland (west Otago if we're being real picky) and I need to get out and start hunting again. I'm going stir crazy on this flat boring ground just north of Oamaru and so is my dog Bo. Have gone from shooting deer off my lawn to nothing, zilch, nada... Would anyone been keen to link up for a day or two next weekend? (2nd, 3rd, 4th sept) I can't even make up my mind where to go or what to do, would travel an hour or two north or south or inland if anyone has some bright ideas for a quick overnighter or even a day hunt or two? Have a 4wd and need to get Bo out and onto some critters again so must be somewhere dog friendly. Chams, deer, tahr. Open to suggestions and not adverse to going solo either just struggling to motivate myself a bit!

Doc land access on left between Oamaru and Kurow.Have a nosey on the net.
Might not be any good,buts its handy for you for taking boo for a evening walk.

Yeah the dog friendly bit limits things unless just popping hoppers

Pig hunters n dogs around Kurow n Otematata yrs ago.

Head up mount Studholm?

I'm local an keen on a walk. Pm inbound

Can't figure out how to private message... Pm me if your keen on a mission.

Hoppers, mucho gusto.
Sorry your life has been turned upside down.

Always a bugger moving and having to find new dog friendly spots

Not sure about Herbert forestry and dogs but that will be worth looking into.

Has anyone been up the Macaulay lately? Went up and camped at the confluence where the north branch comes in a couple years back and wouldn't mind getting back in there again, everyone else drives past up to the hut

Few deers in there too.

Macauley gets a lot of visitors all yr round by the trucks loads,but you right,everybody drives past for the comfort of the hut

Could be keen sometime.. slowly getting my fitness and ability back up. Doesn’t have to be a weekend either, although a bit tied up next 10 days or so currently.
