    @Barry the hunter. Probably the best reply so far. I hunt South Island bush same way. 28 deer shot since May 2022, mostly bush, and after looking at gps tracks it would appear my average travel speed was around 400 meters per hour when in hunting mode. That was probably too fast as well. So as the old saying goes, Make haste slowly.

    that GPS dam handy gadgets - one can find clearings feed faces - and GPS for a look at late evening or early morning - speed well when I was culling there were two types -some would travel miles and get deer by covering a lot of country - others would hunt a smaller area but slowly and carefully and get their timing right to be in good areas at right time - I dont believe either was right or wrong but I did notice the speed hunters did well early on in a block and the carefull ones did better than them later on when it had been well disturbed - I do know that wandering around North Island native with a rifle and no pattern or system of hunting it is really only armed tramping - to start to identify good areas and then hunt at right time is starting to learn bush hunting

    Brilliant, thanks

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
