Thread: Current South Island WARO Activity

Spoke to a mate of mine down Kaikoura way and he did a morning shotting out the heli 6 weeks ago on private land and shot 30.
Last roar I spent a bit over 2 weeks down around Kaikoura and I have never seen as many deer around, lot more fallow and in places I had never seen them before, I was surprised at the numbers.
Saw some big mature stags and I believe that with the lack of pressure from both hunters and WARO these animals are out in the open a lot more. I have spent a fair bit of time in some areas and not seen the number of good stags as last roar.
Took a couple of guys who had never shot a deer before and their first deer were an 11 and a 14 respectively, good heads. I spent years hunting before I got a stag as good as they got, shows how the times have changed.
