Seems like all the places i used to see loads of sign, now im seeing hardly anything.
Or maybe im just looking in the right places at the wrong time

Hey mate, as others have said on this forum in the past, Pureora is hard hunting in the winter, deer tend to be in places you wouldn't typically expect. With the arrival of spring, the hunting will get alot easier in the coming months and your usual spots will likely be inhabited again. Don't let that put you off winter hunting, I found a couple productive spots this winter, however it took some kms to figure the deer out.
