Thread: Canterbury Hunting

Agree with the above comment about Arthurs Pass. West Coast has easy access (hunter to land ratio is v low) and good deer numbers - worth the drive for a weekend, but too far for a day hunt. If you are after fallow, most farms betwenn Cave/Albury and Fairlie have numbers and most of those farmers are approachable. Easy to get into Thar country in Rangitata or Tekapo / Mt Cook but you need decent gear and isn't a place a novice would go well in. The final spot to consider is up Kaikoura way - some good deer up there.
