Thread: Freezing meat, advice for first visit

@Docsbinocs you wont have any trouble getting onto good animals if you get flown into public land and then hunt on foot, if you can afford to fly in then do it. You could ring some of the heli operators and ask them where is a good area to get dropped off, they know where the good animals are. Oh and you have a good attitude towards hunting, nice one.

Thanks again for the input.
The public gland above Glazebrook on the Waihopai is land locked by private land so it seemed like a really good opportunity to fly in there. Unfortunately I have heard that the chopper pilot found out the same plan and the area gets hammered now with helicopter transport hunters.
Stronvar turned me down flat re request for foot access although the WAMS shows public access along the river.
Glazebrook never replied to my request.
Does anyone have any personal experience hunting this area in the last couple of years?
Maps show a "back door "access from the Leitham River. Looks like a long hike to get to the tops.

I look at hunting as a lifestyle, not just a hobby.
I rarely eat any store-bought meat. Today for lunch I had a delicious pressure cooked hindquarter from a 30 pound pig which my dogs caught.
