Thread: Ballard Hut, Kawekas. Worth bringing th gun this time of year?

And even at that windspeed, it'll take your mind clean off deer.
You'll need full sun and zero wind to see a deer up in that open country in July when all your basically doing is passing through.

Now here's the heads up for you if your determined to check out around that area sometime. Forget the climb out of Ballards Hut to go hunting every day, Studholme Saddle Bivvy has been relocated and renamed "North Whetu Bivvy"
Relocated not a long way from Ballards in a straight line, close to High Point 1379 just as you come out of the bush on the Makino-Ballard track, but just across the stream that runs parallel with the track. Grid Ref 920-525

Ring me for my address to send the box of Heiniken to

Thanks for that @NIMROD,
I knew the Bivvy had been moved and where to but it had slipped my mind, a regrettably frequent event these days. I would love walk in there there at least once.
Regards Grandpamac.
