Thread: Hihitahi

Some advice from an old guy that always hunts there and still does don't go where the deer don't.
There are some nasty creeks with rim rock.
Been a long time since I've been in there it's a bit like tiger county a good compass or gps. Some nice slips in there with some good stag's sika and reds.

Yeah some good advice there, i hunt up there regularly and for some reason seems to be a lot of trampers going into Zekes hut lately , i really dont know what the attraction is apart from being a neat little hut.
If its your first time up there i would just have a look on the "five finger slips" which you will see from the track 20 min or so from the hut, i always do and seen a hind and fawn on one of the slips when last up there before xmas so you mite get lucky if they haven't been thrashed to much. Good luck!!

Last time I was in there we stayed in the old Zeke's hut that's how long it's been since I was in there.
I used to love Toetoe slips around the corner and shot my first deer in there on yellow slip

The site where the old Zekes hut was is completely overgrown now , you wouldn't know there used to be a hut there!! , and the track on past Zekes is also completely overgrown with the usual cutty grass toi-toi etc ,a bit hard to follow even if you know it well.

A bit of both mate, if i am going in for a few days i park under railway bridge and with farmers permission walk up and around to the top track, which by the way was also overgrown till Graeme Nicholls recut it .Not a bad effort for an 80 yr old

Yeah Graeme and his son Rob are the ones I've always hunted there with.
I remember having Graeme's 60th over at Tracey's hut.
Graeme has some awesome stories.
