Thread: Hakatere Conservation Park, Smite River

Just wanted to update the couple that responded (thank you). Got back yesterday. As soon as we hit the riverbed on Friday evening we saw 2 hinds Pushed up further on Saturday and split up a side creek into an open basin where we spotted couple deer feeding in the midday sun, it was bloody hot. Came back down and chilled for the afternoon then went further up the main river for the evning and sat in the riverbed and glassed the true left open faces. Four more hinds seen. Overall, not a lot of deer seen for the amount of country that was glassed.
