Thread: East Kaweka Helicopters....Roar options

hi guys, thinking of hitting the Kawekas for next years roar, can anybody PM me advice on what Chris's operation is like?

heard great reports up to now, would just like first hand info.....and any great spots (Tui ad)

I don't think any one spot in the Kaweka's is any better or worse than another. I think it is more important as to what the calibre of the hunters previous to you were like, as to whether they were cowboys in for a bomb up around the hut or serious head hunters. The weather leading up to your hunt can keep some hunters cooped up for days...it is just the luck of the draw as to how the block has been leading up to your going in. A helicopter operator is going to tell you everything you want to hear...no exceptions. I don't say this in unkind way, just it is their livelihood and part of the job is to make you feel good.

Scouser,
Chris is a top fella and a bloody good sika hunter and it's worth calling him for info and top possies,
that being said I can show you exceptional sika stag areas 30 mins from the ute and you will encounter many stags in a day, most of them young but the oldies are there.

There are a lot of sika in the kaweka front country now and their population is not getting any smaller.

A nice response 7mmsaum

The million dollar question is when does Scouser book time off work to maximise his chances of hearing a sika roar as a minimum?

Chris is a top bloke if you ring him he will point you in the right direction he's very honest and spent a lot of time in them hills

Kiwi james and I have a good block for may thanks to Chris. Looking forward to it. If he brings that ginga fella and his pot licking lab again I will get in for free! Win win ha ha

Thanks for the replies guys (and PMs) looks like a booking is the way to go.....

Chris is good.

Good honest information. I wouldnt hesitate to fly with him again
