Thread: Hunter shot in Kaimai Range near Te Aroha

Please excuse my ignorance here but I am keen to get out and bag my first stag was keen to get into the Kaimai's but after this incident, I am very hesitant. i wear orange blaze hat and other gear to make myself visible to other hunters as well and with @Pointers advise i move away from the tracks and will be hunting away from the beaten tracks

What the safest way to get out on to DOC land and bag a Deer?

I have a young family and I cannot take the risk of them ending up without me. or do I need to read between the lines here and stay out of the bush during the Roar, or hunt book a hunt on private land?
