Thread: Beginner Hunter - need advice

https://deerstalkersbop.org.nz/

Public range days are on the last Sunday of each month. Range fees seem quite high at the minent so give them a rung and see whats the most economical way to get down there.

There are some goats up the kaimais but not heaps. More red deer actually but, as said quite difficult to get started on. Uts a goid okace to hunt.

I’d suggest doing a bit of “armed tramping”, walk a few of ghe tracks to get the lay of the land. Eg Mt Eliza mine track, Tuahu track, kaimai summit and use NZTop50 to record your route as you go so you can get back into the track when you do head off the side hunting. Bear in mind you will see a lot more people tha deer from the track si take it easy and identify your target if youre going to shoot. Next, try an ivernight trip to a hut like Hurunui or Waitawheta.
