    Blue Mountains, anyone keen to share a block?

    Anyone keen to share a blue mountains block for a overnighter or maybe a two nighter? Thinking of putting in for one since they're handy to home. End of the day we could just go bowl over a deer at home on the farm if no luck and you want the venison. Keen to get in there in the next few weeks before bucks start dropping their headgear.

    No, permits very clear, no camping in blue Mountains. Mostly not an issue on most blocks, but Smithys Spur difficult to get in and out and have a decent days hunting without camping.

    Yea its bollocks aye some mean spots to pitch a tent , iv never used them but the huts at Beaumont could be an option for you , I think the south Otago deerstalkers administer them but could be wrong , the pub will probably no.

    I would just drive home to my own bed each night if that was the case. Strange I couldnt find anything on the doc website about no camping

    Kind of puts a bit of a downer on the whole thing if you can't stay in there. The reason I want to go is I'm going stir crazy on the farm. If I just wanted to shoot a deer I'd go out and shoot one right now he home in 30 minutes

    The 'no camping' rule has been in place for some years.

    Side note, I see you have changed your gang colours/affiliations. Interesting.
    The best camouflage pattern is 'hold still and be quiet. '

    There heaps of options to stay in or near the Blue Mountains:
    Black Gully -$15 per night
    Beaumont Pub - maybe $20-30
    Tapanui Camp ground
    Camp for free along the Clutha River
    Camp at the fisherman at down by the pomie, again free

    Also have slept in my car at road ends up on the mountain and have camped up on Smithys Spur, so I'm certainly not telling you not to, just that you not allowed to.

    So someone who is not a hunter will never know that and are free to do as they please?
