Thread: Far South Island doc deer hunt ?

Thanks to all who have pointed me in some good directions and I agree. I think I will look at other spots before the Catlin's. I will be looking over maps and topo photos etc for the next few weeks with just this info.

One thing I forgot to mention that this was not just a day hunt. it could be as much a three nights in the bush. If this changes any thing you suggested... let me know?
