    First Ruahine hunt

    Hi all,

    My work is taking me to Pahiatua this week and I'm hoping to tack on a couple nights in the Ruahines Thursday Friday. I've never hunted the Ruahines before but I'm pretty bloody excited. It's been a mild winter for us in the Naki and the central plateau and I'm wondering if this has meant an early onset of spring feed in the Ruahines? If anyone can shed some light on this or has any other tips for a Ruahine virgin I'm all ears

    You going east or west side.
    Things should be starting to move in the lower county most places have really good numbers.
    An evening watching a good slip should produce a few animals.

    A good area just know your boundaries plenty of animals around there.
    Also around the kairataki hut plenty of slips to watch.

    Any of the road ends on your pahiatua side will be worth a walk. Jump on google earth and check out the slips and go watch one, you should be in luck.
