Now is the time to hit the northern Kaimais. I’m talking Thompson’s Track to Cashmore’s Clearing and everywhere in between.
I embarked on a spur of the moment evening hunt yesterday, and saw a couple despite the 75km/hr crosswinds and low cloud. There was HEAPS of sign up high, and you can see a long way in a lot of these spots, enabling you to cover a lot more ground than you would bush hunting. The deer I saw were 500m off, and it was so windy that I couldn’t even hold the scope on them to glass them. By the time I’d closed the gap they’d gone back into the bush. If you can get a clear and relatively still day up here, the deer are out in big numbers, there’s heaps of feed. If you look at this area on google earth you’ll see that there are literally hundreds of slips, clearings and gullies leading of the main ridge, the deer are hitting these now at first and last light.
