Thread: August Hunting

Deers metabolism slows down in winter to cope with the lack of quality feed and they tend not to move around as much to conserve body weight/energy so just because you aren't seeing them doesn't mean they aren't about. I don't tend to chase them mid winter as I like fat ones! But try north facing where's there's shelter, above the frost line in cold valleys, or just above the bush line if there's tussock and it's below the snow level where they can get a feed, soak up the sun and be close to shelter from weather.

Failing that Kale or swede paddocks
