Thread: CNI/Whanganui day hunt

Any of the DOC land between Ratihi-National park-Oakune is worth a look for a deer.
Hauhungatahi is a nice walk with expansive tops above the bush line. There is some good hunting behind Horipito and anywhere off the Mountain road is worth a look too.
Winter can be a bit hard and whole area is 1080ed so don't expect big numbers, but they are there if you look.
