Thread: First deer ever

Very good. I can relate to that as I shot my first deer in nz from Thomson track but from the katikati side 18 years ago :-)
it took me 10 trips in the kaimai before getting that first one. Over the years I managed to get that average down to 5 trips and now days I am down to 3 trips to get an animal.
So keep going at it , and you ll gradually get better and better. And once you master the hunting in the kaimais , you ll be good pretty much anywhere else in nz.
The three essential tools for the kaimais are a gps to mark the good deer spots and find your way out,a bottle of chalk to indicate the wind direction and some secateurs .
