Thread: An area of Pureora Forest

I went in near Piro Piro Flats yesterday for an overnight recon. Managed to run into goat sign just as I left the road, then deer sign pretty soon after. Not particularly fresh, but as someone brand new to looking for it, I was stoked. Didn't go too far into the bush as that spot was plan C after Plan A was scuppered by a big rock in the road that wasn't on any of the maps, and plan B fell foul of empty looking fields actually being full of blackberry. Got camp set up and water found just in time for dark, then spent the next 16 hours sleeping/bored as I waited for the rain to stop.

Lessons have been learned, and hopefully when I return with a rifle, I'll have a better handle on things.
