    Harkness Valley - Hunting tips

    Heading in here to the Tussock for the first time. Wanting to mainly know where it is worth walking and places to avoid, in terms of crap bush and terrain. Don't have long in there so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Head up Pet shop ridge.

    Plenty of good bush there.

    Shot my one on this ridge a couple of years ago, was plenty of sign too.

    Also the creek heads along the north eastern side of the ridge towards Boyds.

    Posted a picture above.

    Have only been there a couple of times but got Deer each Tme.

    Pet Shop Ridge is the lone arrow East of Tussock heading towards Harkness.

    The group of three arrows nearer Tussock are well worth a look too.

    We were there first week of November.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Not saying there's any Deer there.

    Just saying that's where I was successful in November.
