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.

Hey I'm local to that area and know a couple of land owners that back on to the range, so I am going to approach them to see if I can take my lad there and get his first goat. I might go for a scope out first and take a walk within the range to see what's up there. I've never even explored it and I live around here! Fingers crossed! Would be epic if I could find a little pocket of goats. He wants a goat skin for his floor and a big old set of horns for his wall... he's 9. With big plans!
