For me i would have to commit coming down that's the time slot i had time off work, ferry booked etc and worry about weather when i got down there. From north island its basically to days travel each way.
I would have gone to the briefing.
Then for me if the weather was looking real bad and the pilot said stuff that or local advised that weather worse then normal (never been to wapiti country) and had to pull pin
To me i had made a commitment of hunting that block.
but also be prepared to wait out a few days for weather to clear i wouldn't be flying in at the end of my time slot for couple days hunting.
Also coming from north island you do need a back up plan
