Thread: Hapuakohe

Hi first time poster here, i live in Auckland and i am trying to get out for some day hunts with my Dad and a few of my close friends, an area that stuck out to me the Hapuakohe range about an hour drive from auckland. Does anyone know if this could be a good opinion or if anyone has any experience hunting in this area or know what species i would see (goats, pigs deer)?

If I were going for a day hunt I'd head out to the Kaimai's.

Some keen hunters have done the Pureora's in a day, but that's very keen

me and sam used to do it all the time.......was a bit younger and fitter then

Yep,

Hunted it a bit 25 odd years ago.
Plenty of goats with the occasional pig and the very odd farm escape deer. Bush is typical filthy tight rubbish and rolling to steep in places. Some real nice goat
skins from out of that block and access from a couple of different locations.
Well worth a wander.
Cant beat the Kaimais or a Woodhill ballot for a venison hunt.
