Glad I'm not the only one. A bit frustrating eh.

I think it is reasonable that not everyone gets replyed at the same time. Its a decent task that they ate working thru.

Be patient and I am sure you will all get a reply one way or another.

Gutted for you @NRT

I almost tagged you when this thread popped up hoping you would have broken the drought.

Next year bro !!!

Fair call. I'm not very patient...

I missed out, got a message last week

Straight opposite of the hut, over the creek, is a thicket, they're living in there. The runt pads were higher, just below the bluffs and steeper bits, so more than likely the stags will be there.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah it's starting to get silly.

Make sure to check your junk mail incase it didn't make it to the inbox

As a north islander and never have been there or even heard about it until i saw it on the NZ hunter show, is it ballot for just the Fallow rut? Or is all year around?

Ballot for April-May. Then there is a winter period June to end Sept. No hunting for the rest of the year due to being a highway for tramping
