Just moved back into the country and took my first walk there last week.

Shot a nice yearling in a head gut. Spring growth was just coming through so have a good look around the feed areas and you should get into them.

Good Luck.

You've picked a good time to be there, December is the start of spring in the Kaimanawa, always has been

this place gets a lot of stick! but it has a lot of hunters, a lot of deer and a lot of area. i was in there last friday evening and shot a very easy yearling.identify your target, be carefull and you will have a good time of it,bush is shit but go slow, its a nice handy place to hunt.

Too many Aucklanders....just saying...

Not this one Nickoli.

Sorry bruce I looked at the forcast on thursday and made the call not to go. Very happy I didnt givin the crazy storms that came through, wouldnt have been a fun time to be in the bush.

Went up there this morning, stopped at the range and put a few through our rifles to check them and make sure the weather which was a bit dicy first thing was going to clear and it did.
Drove to the end of the road and climbed up the hill for about an hour, more of a blow out to get the hunting legs going again. Saw a bit of fresh sign, spotted a hind but didnt shoot it and noted the fern was starting to come through on the sunny edges. N ice to be out there again after winter

Thats a bit of a bummer Nick...yes she was a rough nite...my mate and I could only hunt August/Sept ...he was a milk tanker driver, and man we had some wet hunts in there then!!!!

TJM...,thanks mate ....we are going in on the 7th Dec as long as the rain gods are smiling and not crying...will keep everyone posted....
