Ok here we go... so the idea is a weekend around October for a forum catch up - hunt - camp out sit round a fire and sing kumbyah... I personally love Te Urewera and think the 8 acre camp site is a damn fine base.. Open to suggestions around protocols, activities etc as long as we're teaching safe ethical values and ensuring everyone has a good time. .. what y'all reckon? ???
Is the roads going to be open to the park after washout
Should be by October. .. they pretty good about keeping it up to scratch. .Quote:

Late September early October. .. should be a bit of growth around by then. . Just text my mate who lives over there. .road is open to the 8acre now...
Just my 2 cents id rather November but il try to make whatever is going. Good idea mate
And that is why I'm sneaking off for 5 days in November by myself :) :)Quote:

Great idea.

Tenting it... you can drive into the campsite.. there's firepits toilet and bloody big bathtub (river).. I've shot deer close to the camp and those with quads etc will have a good base.. check it out on Google earth. .. I've got dibs on the otapukawa...Quote:

Just my 7 cents I'd be all over it if it was Nov
Could be keen. Not sure if I meet your definition of a "young fella", but I'm young compared to Rushy!
I'm about the youngest so far mate and I'm like 72...[emoji6]Quote:

OK so we've got the old fellas... Any of you young fellas want to be in on this??? If not we'll just be real happy to have a get together :)
My thinking is... fri night arive BBQ and couple of quiet ones.. no hunting... Sat morning if we've got young fellas who want some wisdom we'll ask Gibo nicely to do a spiel on long range shooting, GA to give us some first aid stuff, I'm happy to do a gear and equip bit... and whoever else has got some skills to pass on can step right up... Sat evening split up and go for a hunt, sun morn hunt then lunch and shuffle of home... Ideas???
4-5 Nov is good for me, so one more oldie.
My long range spiel wont be very long :D .....um........um.......that's it I'm off hunting :P
I'd be keen to join in.
sounds like it could be informative and I am always keen to learn.
I am interested to meet up, but I am another old one :(
Now is this 8 acre camp the one up Okahu rd?, I was in there a while back, good spot, or is it the one up Minganui rd. I`m another oldie , could be the oldest one at 74 1/2?. But for me it will be 5/6 days in the bush, being retired I don`t have to rush back to work . I would be glamping in my caravan.
OK found the area, spent my teenage years in Waimana so bit of nostalgia there. Rode horses up into T U.
Biggun can you PM me the co-ords to this 8 acre camp bro? I have found my stream and hut ;)
8 acre is a doc camp about 3/4 of the way up waimana valley rd.. quick search on doc website will find it... cool spot .... couple of huts within 2 hours walk from the road end... good trout fishing at times...
Good place for your setup. .. 2 wheel drive no worries. ..Quote:
