Thread: Best peaks/slips/flats parks for glassing? (keen to try this out over bush stalking)

Look on the Dept of Conservation hunting permit site and for each area they have a jpeg map showing the permit area and that is all public land not specifically Maori. Te Urewera is both. You get a permit from a special web site. That public land is honeycombed with maori land. Sorry not much glassing country there but i just thought id mention it.

Around waiouru there is a lot of open country of defence land we cant hunt on.

Some hunting areas require permission from pakeha owner or more important manager to go across to access the public land. Contacts numbers are either on the doc permit or available by phone from the nearby doc office.

The main north is ranges with open country hunting are rimutakas tararuas ruahines and kawekas. Best time of year is spring and mid summer. From may onwards bad weather and fewer deer out make them less hood.
