I'm thinking about a long weekend bow hunting mission in a few weeks, let me know what the goat/pig numbers are like.

Isn't that lodge at the end of a public road?

I'll let you know.

Should be fine then. Heard of child's road on the north east being used. But that might be the place where yah call up the farmer.

its called lyons or lions lodge

Yep, I found their website which had a lot more information than I thought it would. Lyons Rd. has a locked gate at the start but there is a carpark there and public foot access that leads to the lodge and a number of tracks, from anywhere there you could go off into the bush, well that's my plan, just got to figure out when.

The lodge firearm discharge exclusion zone is 500m
There is also a 300m exclusion zone around the repeater

Hi, just wondering what the goat numbers are like up at Tangihua? i was thinking about doing a trip up there this sunday but not too keen if the goat numbers are a bit low? it says its quite high numbers f om my spotx book but that was publishied in 2012... id be likely to enter from the Tangihua Rd entrance... i have the farmers access so any info on that side would be good?? cheers

Plenty of goats. Me and @MightyBoosh were there the other week.

Call Dennis deeming his number should be on the doc site for tangihua.

Hunt south of the hut. The northern facing sides of the ridges are thick as.

Any pointers would be really appreciated. Hapuakohe Range (and if so which block?), southern Coromandel? i dont have dogs but I dont mind going off track into rugged terrain - i'm into that and experienced enough with navigation etc. Thanks.

Hey Meat Hunter, put my name down for a hunt in Tangihuas. If you are based in Auckland I am happy to drive us up there. Cheers.

Me n @anthony have had a look in there saw plenty but a bit of a walk in some rugged shit to get to them
