Thread: Central otago venison recovery

As I understand it, the choppers shot the front faces of the hawkduns then along the manuherikera west branch to the omarama saddle. That land is accessible to ground hunters, albeit with a fair walk to some parts. Whereas over the hawkduns ridge to the interior is a big dodgy drive up the only track , past the bomb disposal site. I have done it but its a fine weather track only and ends up being a bit of a mission. I realize that waro happens and it ain't going away anytime soon, but why do they have to clean out the ground that we can get to safely instead of hunting out the areas that arnt so easy to get to by foot and vehicle. Us ground hunters use those areas too feed ourselves, friends and family. We do not make income off it like waro choppers and shooters do. I know some like @R93 will completely disagree with me, Its just my thoughts and feelings bout it is all. I wish there where better alternatives but as alot of other grounds in my area are getting poisened on a realitivly regular basis, it gets very difficult to find areas that aren't getting smashed by the powers that be.
