Thread: Help a newby hunter.

William , get onto the tops ,ie above the bush line . From about December onwards this is your best bet .This includes up to and after the roar April / may . The further you are back into the alps the later the grass comes on Remember deer must eat ! So if you get it right and are where the feed is bingo ! You are in the money .Depending on chopper pressure (,but assume there has been)deer will be not far from cover /bush . Usually slips or fingers of tussock/ grass or creeks that retreat back down into the bush are the hot spots . You will need reasonable binos and plenty of patience to sit and watch . Concentrate on those hot arears first and scan whole faces as there may be chamois deer or even seen big old boars out in the open . I would add you on my list and take you out but I've got a couple of promised take outs already plus my usuall trips
