Thread: How many people hunt Tongariro National Park

Just looking through the DOC website and should be a few nice spots to go for a wander i was thinking.

Many people make it a regular spot?

Cheers

Yeah she's thick in there mate

Mate gets em every time, barstool hasn't invited me yet

Yeah gibo
He's doin well then I'm one per 3-4 trips

I use to hunt there quite a bit when I lived in the north island. Hunted the open areas around the bush edges. Saw lots of deer, but this was before I had a range finder and a long range rifle. I'll flick you a pm.

Hunt there about 4 times a year

Huge areas to hunt, from thick bush to open tussock,desert rd, erua , sika and reds

Cheers guys
Was looking around lastnight looking for a few different spots to heat to.
Got a few that cought my attention.

Cheers stug much appreciated

Ring doc whakapapa and ask for Malc the blue duck manager for reliable information.

Cheers Tahr
Will follow up with him

Only thing I'll pass on mate is find vantage spots and get good glasses. There are a heap of deer in there in spots.

I hunt the south east portion of the park mostly. Gives a good range of open to close hunting conditions without having to climb to high from your start point. Find you a good possie and glass it up, weather is a bit hit and miss at the moment but they are moving around especially when that sun finally shows it self. I have only once come across another hunter where I go so seems to be pretty low key.

Have a couple of spots pointed out to look at.
Like the idea of being able to start high and not head uphill for breakfast
Plus new areas are fun to explore

I would like to go in there this weekend, ive never been in there before. hoping to get myself a Christmas deer since the wife is overseas
Planning to go in the northern area somewhere and just have a go at the bush edges etc and see how i go, maybe enter on SH48 and see where i can go from there.
